[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
[03:06.82]Some people but not me, I was born a champion
[03:11.53]Some people have to fight, some people give their lives
[03:16.70]Some people don't believe, but I was born a champion
[03:22.12]Some people have to learn, some people wait their turn
[03:27.07]Some people but not me, I was born a champion
[03:31.67]Some people have to fight, some people give their lives
[03:37.09]Some people don't believe, but I was born a champion
[03:42.51]But I was born a champion
[03:48.03]But I was born a champion
