Did you realize that you were a champion in their eyes? |
|
Yes I did, so I packed it up and brought it back to the crib |
|
Just a lil' somethin' show you how we live |
|
E'r'body want it but it ain't that serious - uh huh... |
|
That's that shit |
|
So if you gon' do it, do it just like this |
|
Did you realize that you are a champion in their eyes? |

You don't see just how wild the crowd is? |

When I shop so much I can speak Italian |
|
I don't know I just wanted better for my kids |
|
And I ain't sayin' we was from the projects |
|
But everytime I want a layaway or a deposit |
|
My dad'll say "when you see clothes close ya eyelids" |
|
We was sorta like Will Smith and his son |
|
In the movie I ain't talkin' 'bout the rich ones |
|
'Cause every summer he'll get some |
|
Brand new hare-brained scheme to get rich from |
|
And I don't know what he did for dough |
|
But he'd sent me back to school wit' a new wardrobe and hey! eh, eh, eh |
|
(Did you realize |
|
That you were a champion in their eyes |

When it feel like livin's harder than dyin' |
|
For me givin' up's way harder than tryin' |

|
I wish her heart still was in rhymin' |
|
'Cause who the kids gon' listen to? Huh? |
|
I guess me if it isn't you |
|
Last week I paid a visit to the institute |
|
They got the drop out keepin' kids in the school |
|
I guess I'll clean up my act like Prince'll do |
|
If not for the pleasure, least for the principle |
|
They got the CD then got to see me drop gems |
|
Like I dropped out of P.E. |
|
They used to feel invisible |
|
Now they know they invincible |
|
Did you realize that you were a champion in their eyes |

This is the story of a champion |

Rounders in the mob and they pop the guns |
|
Stand up stand up! Here he comes |
