Champion

Some people have to learn
 Some people wait their turn
 Some people have to fight
 Some people give their life, oh (Yeah)
 They wanna hold you back tell 'em pee off
 Whenever they say you can't take the T off
 I remember when they told me I wouldn't be famous
 Now my dream and reality's simultaneous
 And, work your own way to the top
 If they put you on a pedestal, they can take you off
 And there's a higher level than the top
 You gotta make more, don't make do with what you got
 Yeah, so go and get it in sonny
 Not everybody gets a second chance at getting money
 Or even getting lucky
 So you gotta feel the hunger in your tummy
 I'm always pushing myself to the limit
 Making sure I stay ahead (That's right)
 You made me who I am
 From the words you said (Yeah)
 Some people have to learn
 Some people wait their turn
 Some people, but not me
 I was born champion (That's right)
 Some people have to fight
 Some people give their life
 Some people don't believe
 But I was born a champion (Yeah)
 But I was born a champion (Yeah, yeah)
 But I was born a champion
 Uh, this gon' be the realest shit I ever wrote
 Off the records, no cameras, forget a quote
 Some of my family doin' good, most doin' dope
 I'm from Virginia where they hang them niggas by a rope
 I used to see my momma gettin' beat down
 Is that the real definition of me now?
 I fell off, back on my feet now
 Headed to the sky, can't even see down
 Award shows, I pour my heart out
 And people still steady tryna point my flaws out
 And I'd be lyin' if I say it ain't get to me
 But I'm a champion, legend, history
 I'm always pushing myself to the limit
 Making sure I stay ahead (That's right)
 You made me who I am
 From the words you said (Yeah)
 Some people have to learn
 Some people wait their turn
 Some people, but not me
 I was born champion (That's right)
 Some people have to fight
 Some people give their life
 Some people don't believe
 But I was born a champion (Yeah)
 But I was born a champion (Yeah, yeah)
 But I was born a champion
 Okay, no one wants to help, I guess you're on your own
 Build a foundation with the bricks they throw
 In a black and white world, true colours show
 Change if you want, everybody grows
 And life's like an eel, but try and get a hold
 Opinions ain't facts, take 'em in and let 'em go (That's right)
 You made me who I am, from the words you said (Yeah)
 Some people have to learn
 Some people wait their turn
 Some people, but not me
 I was born champion (Champion, that's right)
 Some people have to fight
 Some people give their life
 Some people don't believe
 But I was born a champion (I was, I was, yeah)
 Some people have to learn
 Some people wait their turn
 Some people, but not me
 I was born champion
 Some people have to fight
 Some people give their life
 Some people don't believe
 But I was born a champion
 Champion (Yeah)
 But I was born a champion
 Champion (Yeah)
 But was born a champion
