Black Thought - Champion lyrics

[Verse 1] Success in life comes when you simply refuse to give up On a mission so strong that obstacles like failure and loss only act as motivation I mean like, no one has the power to shatter your dreams unless you give it to them [Verse 1] When something's telling me to stop, I never do that in the name of love Until I've given it my all and it just ain't enough See even if it's getting realer than they say it was Straighten up, who's afraid of what? Player get involved Nah, you work hard 'til you're better off 24/7, 365, never off Look at me, I'm nocturnal, I don't sleep My eyes heavy, bags and crow's feet But I won't be stopped I go from tragedy to majesty The victory has been woven into my tapestry My adversary's not cut from the same flag as me That's why the champion's gonna be who it has be This ain't the type of opportunity that just appeared I made it here because I shed blood sweat and tears Forget the title, I forever have my sights on This is where I become an American Icon [Hook] If you a champion, show me you a champion If you a champion, show me you a champion Cause real champions move like champions And real champions prove that they're champions If you a champion, show me you a champion If you a champion, show me you a champion Cause real champions move like champions And real champions prove that they're champions [Verse 2] Listen, forward motion never fail I learn to hustle, it's part of a cautionary tail Hard work is something I know very well A lesson in a blessing out of each and every L, I ball I fell in love with the game and never look back My foundation and frame, they never shook that Been trailblazing my name into the book that Represent all the champs who had a chance and took that And laser focus is the reoccurring theme Forever coming to me like a reoccurring dream If we weren't kings, we'd probably be swimming up stream Tryna make the devil come clean for the umpteenth You know me as the global dean from the noble team So convene and the whole regime shall be overseen I'm a pillar like a column in the Pantheon Competition I can't see 'em, I'm champion [Hook] If you a champion, show me you a champion If you a champion, show me you a champion Cause real champions move like champions And real champions prove that they're champions If you a champion, show me you a champion If you a champion, show me you a champion Cause real champions move like champions And real champions prove that they're champions [Bridge] I'm gon' prove that I'm the champion And if there's something I can't do, then it can't be done And I ain't saying I don't lose, I'm saying I'm the only one And if it's either I or you, you best believe there's only gon' be one...true champion [Hook] If you a champion, show me you a champion If you a champion, show me you a champion Cause real champions move like champions And real champions prove that they're champions If you a champion, show me you a champion If you a champion, show me you a champion Cause real champions move like champions And real champions prove that they're champions If you a champion, show me you a champion If you a champion, show me you a champion Cause real champions move like champions And real champions prove that they're champions If you a champion, show me you a champion If you a champion, show me you a champion Cause real champions move like champions And real champions prove that they're champions
