Champion - The Roots

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
