Champion (feat. Chris Brown)

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
