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 could 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 go

and get it in, sonny

not everybody

gets a second chance

at gettin' money

Or even gettin' lucky

so, you gotta

feel the hunger

in your tummy

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

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

Yeah

but I was born a champion

yeah, yeah

but I was born a champion

Ah...

this gon' be the realest

s##t I ever wrote

off the records

no cameras

forget a quote

Some of my family

doin' good, most doin' dope

I'm from Virginia where

they hang n####s by a rope

I used to see my momma

gettin' 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

try'na point my flaws out

And I'd be lyin'

if I said it ain't get to me

but I'm a 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

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

Yeah

but I was born a champion

yeah, yeah

but I was born a champion

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 ill

but try and get a hold

opinions ain't facts

take 'em in and let 'em go

you made me who I am

from the words you've said

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

Yeah

but I was born a champion

yeah, yeah

but I was born a champion...
