Champion Songtext / Lyric

People said I wouldn't make it, that I'd never get to the top

There was nothing they could say that would make me stop

So I had to keep pushing through the pain and the tears

All the things I've been through is why I'm standing here



That's why they can't tell me nothing, they can't tell me nothing

They was wrong, this the song of a champion

That's why they can't tell me nothing, they can't tell me nothing

Let me see your hands up if you a champion



Coming up I use to watch TV look up at the screen

Then look at my mama tell her ma that's gon' be me

She said son you gon' be great, I knew it from the start

Your daddy was a poet that's how he captured my heart



It's in my blood, you ask me why I keep it real

Like talkin' in the flow asking how a nigga feel

Imagine how it feels

Waking up to nothing is enough to give you chills






Waking up to nothing is enough to make you kill

Enough to bring your daughter on a heist, unreal

You said you gotta song living life unreal

That's why I put my life in every song I kill, sing it girl



That's why they can't tell me nothing, they can't tell me nothing

They was wrong, this the song of a champion

That's why they can't tell me nothing, they can't tell me nothing

Let me see your hands up if you a champion



I had a job too, niggas so what?

You haters make me laugh, how you hatin' so much?

Go head and do the math, watch the numbers add up

Picture me and Khaled rollin' to the Grammys, messed up

Keep running to The Runners when it's time to make a



I'm gunning at you suckas who ain't tryna feel this shit

blastin' out a niggas whip

Throwing up a peace sign to all my hustlas on the strip

Top down in the Chevy yeah, you know I keep it pimpin'



And my pistol heavy, niggas know that ain't slippin'

Know that I'm on the grind, niggas know that ain't slippin'

My faith is on the line so you know I ain't slippin'

You trippin' and that's why



That's why they can't tell me nothing, they can't tell me nothing

They was wrong, this the song of a champion

That's why they can't tell me nothing, they can't tell me nothing

Let me see your hands up if you a champion



Ladies put your hands up high

Came too far now to give up

We gotta keep reaching for the sky

It don't even matter say what you want



Fellas put your hands up in the sky

Nothing you could say that'll make me stop

We gotta keep reaching for the sky

I'ma keep going till I reach the top and that's why



Definitely livin' life, I gravitated to the light

I sacrificed a decade, now it's times every night

Let them suckas' spectate 'cause shorty I expect that

We still touching big weight and surely I invest that



Break it down the best way 'cause I know how to stretch that

Haters talking sideways and I could never stress that

Ready for the war though, I would never compromise

Mammy call me Gordo, you shine like summer time



That's why they can't tell me nothing, they can't tell me nothing

They was wrong, this the song of a champion

That's why they can't tell me nothing, they can't tell me nothing

Let me see your hands up if you a champion



That's why they can't tell me nothing, they can't tell me nothing

They was wrong, this the song of a champion

That's why they can't tell me nothing, they can't tell me nothing

Let me see your hands up if you a champion



People said I wouldn't make it, that I'd never get to the top

There was nothing they could say that would make me stop

So I had to keep pushing through the pain and the tears

All the things I've been through is why I'm standing here
