Champion (feat. Chris Brown)

Some people have to learn

Some people wait their turn

Some people have to fight, yeah

Some people give their life, oh

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 is 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 get it in, sonny

Not everybody gets a second chance at getting money

Or even gettin' lucky, so you gotta feel the hunger in your tummy

I'm always pushing myself to the limit

Makin' sure I stay ahead

You made me who I am

From the words you said

Some people have to learn (Uh-huh)

Some people wait their turn (Uh-huh)

Some people, but not me

I was born a champion

Some people have to fight (Uh-huh)

Some people give their lives (Uh-huh)

Some people don't believe

But I was born a champion

But I was born a champion

But I was born a champion

This gon' be the realest shit I ever wrote

Off the record, no camera's, forget a quote

Some of my family doin' good, most doin' dope

I'm form Virginia, where they hang them **** by a rope

I used to see my mama gettin' beat down

Is that 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 poured my heart out

And people still steady, tryna point my flaws out

And I'd be lyin' if I said it ain't get to me

But I'm champion, legend, history

I'm always pushin' myself to the limit

Makin' sure I stay ahead

You made me who I am

From the words you said

Some people have to learn (Uh-huh)

Some people wait their turn (Uh-huh)

Some people, but not me

I was born a champion

Some people have to fight (Uh-huh)

Some people give their life (Uh-huh)

Some people don't believe

But I was born a champion

But I was born a champion

But I was born a champion

Ok, no one wants to help

I guess you're on your own

Build a foundation with the bricks they throw

In the black and white world, true colors show

Change if you want, everybody grows

Life's like and eel, but try and get a hold

Opinions ain't facts, take 'em and then let 'em go

That's right

You made me who I am

From the words you said

Some people have to learn (Uh-huh)

Some people wait their turn (Uh-huh)

Some people, but not me

I was born a champion (Champion), oh

Some people have to fight (Uh-huh)

Some people give their life (Uh-huh)

Some people don't believe

But I was born a champion

Some people have to learn (Uh-huh)

Some people wait their turn (Uh-huh)

Some people, but not me

I was born a champion

Some people have to fight (Uh-huh)

Some people give their life (Uh-huh)

Some people don't believe

But I was born a champion

But I was born a champion

But I was born a champion
