[Intro: Chris Brown]
Some people have to learn
Some people wait their 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 C 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 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
[Pre-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
[Hook: Chris Brown]
Some people have to learn, some people wait their 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]
Uh, this gonna be the realest sh** I ever wrote
Off the records, no cameras, forget a quote
Some of my family doing good, most doing dope
I'm from Virginia where they hang them n***as 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 pour my heart out
And people still steady tryna point my flaws out
And I'd be lying if I say it ain't get to me
But I'm a champion, legend, history
[Pre-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
[Hook: Chris Brown]
Some people have to learn, some people wait their 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 3: Chipmunk] --- not on official single
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 bu*tons they be pushing
So now they tryna shush him
It's only you believing in you
They turn you into a ba*tard 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 [Verse 3: Chipmunk & Chris Brown]
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
[Hook: Chris Brown]
Some people have to learn, some people wait their 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
Some people have to learn, some people wait their 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
