Champion

[Chris Brown:]

Some people have to learn

Some people wait there turn

Some people have to fight

Some people give their lives

[Verse 1 - Chipmunk:]

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, go sonny

Not everybody gets a second chance at getting money

Or even getting lucky so you gotta feel

The hunger in your tummy

[Hook - Chris Brown:]

I'm always pushing myself to the limit

Making sure I stay ahead

You made me who I am, from the words you said

Some people have to learn

Some people wait there turn

Some people but not me

I was born a champion

Some people have to fight

Some people give their lives

Some people don't believe

But I was born a champion

But I was born a champion

But I was born a champion

[Verse 2 - Chris Brown:]

This gonna be the realest shit I ever wrote

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

Some of my family doing good, most doing dope

I'm from Virginia where they hang the niggas by a rope

I used to see my momma getting 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 poured my heart out

And people still steady trynna point my flaws out

And I’d be lying if I said it ain’t get to me

But I’m a champion, legend, history

[Hook]

[Verse 3 - Chipmunk:] [only at Album Version!]

Imagine you was the one, that couldn't get a look in

Couldn't get a booking

Couldn't get a push in when you needed a shove

Or your buttons they be pushing

So now they tryna shush him

It's only you believing in you

They turn you into a bastard the moment you rude

Attitude a little out of tune

But that's how champions move

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

[Hook] [only at Album Version!]

[Verse 4 - Chipmunk:]

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 colors show

Change if you want, everybody grows

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

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

[Hook - Chris Brown:]

You made me who I am from the words you said

Some people have to learn

Some people wait there turn

Some people but not me

I was born a champion (champion)

Some people have to fight

Some people give their lives

Some people don't believe

But I was born a champion

Some people have to learn

Some people wait there turn

Some people but not me

I was born a champion (champion)

Some people have to fight

Some people give their lives

Some people don't believe

But I was born a champion

But I was born a champion

But I was born a champion
