Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Some people have to learn

Some people wait their turn

Some people have to fight, yeah

Some people give their life, oh

[Verse 2]

They wanna hold you back, tell 'em, P off

Whenever they say you can't, take the C off

I remember when they told me, I wouldn't be famous

Now my dream and reality's simultaneous

And work your own way to the top

If they put you on a pedestal, they can take you off

And there's a higher level than the top

You gotta make more, don't make do with what you got

[Verse 3]

Yeah, so go and get it in, sonny

Not everybody gets a second chance at gettin' money

Or even getting lucky

So you gotta fill the hunger in your tummy

[Verse 4]

I'm always pushing myself to the limit

Making sure I stay ahead

You made me who I am

From the words you said

[Verse 5]

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

But I was born a champion

But I was born a champion

[Verse 6]

This gon' be the realest shit 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 them **** by a rope

I used to see my mama 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 pour my heart out

And people still steady, tryin' to 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

[Verse 7]

I'm always pushing myself to the limit

Making sure I stay ahead

You made me who I am

From the words you said

[Verse 8]

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

But I was born a champion

But I was born a champion

[Verse 9]

Imagine you was the one that couldn't get a look in

Couldn't get a bookin', couldn't get a push in

When you needed a salve for your buttons they be pushin'

So now they tryna shush him

It's only you believin' in you

They turn you into a bastard the moment you're rude

Attitude a little out of tune

But that's how champions move

[Verse 10]

Yeah, so go and get it in, sonny

Not everybody gets a second chance at gettin' money

Or even getting lucky

So you gotta fill the hunger in your tummy

[Verse 11]

I'm always pushing myself to the limit

Making sure I stay ahead

You made me who I am

From the words you said

[Verse 12]

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

But I was born a champion

But I was born a champion

[Verse 13]

Ok, no one wants to help, I guess you're on your own

Build a foundation with the bricks they've thrown

In a black and white world, true colors 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, that's right

[Verse 14]

You made me who I am

From the words you said

[Verse 15]

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

[Verse 16]

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

But I was born a champion

But I was born a champion
