[00:00.44] | Some people have to learn |
[00:04.64] | Some people wait their turn |
[00:10.06] | Some people have to fight |
[00:14.51] | Some people give their lives |
[00:19.27] | They wanna hold you back, tell 'em pee off |
[00:22.38] | Whenever they say you can't, take the C off |
[00:25.01] | I remember when they told me I wouldn't be famous |
[00:27.28] | Now my dream and reality's simultaneous |
[00:30.23] | And work your own way to the top |
[00:32.45] | If they put you on a pedestal, they can take you off |
[00:35.28] | And there's a higher level than the top |
[00:37.67] | You gotta make more, don't make do with what you got |
[00:40.09] | Yeah, so get it in, sonny |
[00:42.47] | Not everybody gets a second chance at getting money |
[00:45.50] | Or even getting lucky |
[00:47.83] | So you gotta feel the hunger in your tummy |
[00:50.47] | I'm always pushing myself to the limit, making sure I stay ahead |
[00:55.26] | You made me who I am, from the words you said |
[01:00.33] | Some people have to learn, some people wait their turn |
[01:05.69] | Some people but not me, I was born a champion |
[01:10.03] | Some people have to fight, some people give their lives |
[01:15.67] | Some people don't believe, but I was born a champion |
[01:22.75] | But I was born a champion |
[01:27.81] | But I was born a champion |
[01:30.70] | Uh, this gonna be the realest shit I ever wrote |
[01:33.18] | Off the records, no cameras, forget a quote |
[01:35.51] | Some of my family doing good, most doing dope |
[01:38.15] | I'm from Virginia where they hang them niggas by a rope |
[01:40.73] | I used to see my momma getting beat down |
[01:43.31] | Is that the real definition of me now? |
[01:45.59] | I fell off, back on my feet now |
[01:48.11] | Headed to the sky, can’t even see down |
[01:50.65] | Award shows, I pour my heart out |
[01:53.08] | And people still steady tryna point my flaws out |
[01:55.51] | And I’d be lying if I say it ain’t get to me |
[01:58.24] | But I’m a champion, legend, history |
[02:00.76] | I'm always pushing myself to the limit, making sure I stay ahead |
[02:05.62] | You made me who I am, from the words you said |
[02:10.72] | Some people have to learn, some people wait their turn |
[02:16.03] | Some people but not me, I was born a champion |
[02:20.78] | Some people have to fight, some people give their lives |
[02:26.10] | Some people don't believe, but I was born a champion |
[02:32.82] | But I was born a champion |
[02:37.17] | But I was born a champion |
[02:41.63] | Okay, no one wants to help, I guess you're on your own |
[02:44.02] | Build a foundation with the bricks they throw |
[02:46.67] | In a black and white world, true colours show |
[02:49.04] | Change if you want, everybody grows |
[02:51.64] | And life's like an eel, but try and get a hold |
[02:54.01] | Opinions ain't facts, take 'em in and let 'em go, that's right |
[02:56.60] | You made me who I am, from the words you said |
[03:01.91] | Some people have to learn, some people wait their turn |
