  • I am the champion (okay)
    I am the champion (did it just get serious in here?)
    Lights, cameras, action (I think it did)
    Whenever I play

    Now say, "We are the champions" (we are the champions)
    We are the champions (we are the champions)
    Now say, "We are the champions" (we are the champions)
    We are the champions (we are the champions)

    Okay Bob hit the stage now
    Lights and cameras on
    Yes I'm givin them want they want but no
    I will not ever conform
    'Cause I'm outside of the norm still
    What a spectacular form
    From the blood sweat and the tears shed
    Every time I perform
    And whenever your doin' your thang, yep
    People gonna hate on it usually (that's right)
    But I'm just as human as you I just look good while doin' it
    And they telling me I have so much dough
    I won't know what to do with it, hmm, well until then
    I'ma continuin' maneuverin', because

    I am the champion (quite a spectacular athlete)
    I am the champion (if I do say so myself)
    Lights, cameras, action (hahaha, seriously)
    Whenever I play

    Now say, "We are the champions" (we are the champions)
    We are the champions (we are the champions)
    Now say, "We are the champions" (we are the champions)
    We are the champions (we are the champions)

    I look in the mirror and laugh like
    Look at what I've become
    Everyone calls me Bob but I'm still my mother's son
    And I'm lowkey when I'm out now, hell no, fame ain't fun
    But I stay Live like NBA on yo' Playstation
    And I entertain 'cause I'm in the game
    It's easy to see I ain't into fame ('cause I ain't)
    And the critics say that I imitate, but I really can't (Andre)
    Please allow me to demonstrate, no matter what they say
    I stay charged up like a triple A
    (Really mane?) Really mane

    I am the champion (I wake up and piss excellence)
    I am the champion (all day)
    Lights, cameras, action (please hold your applause)
    Whenever I play (I'm kind of a big deal)

    Now say, "We are the champions" (we are the champions)
    We are the champions (we are the champions)
    Now say, "We are the champions" (we are the champions)
    We are the champions (we are the champions)

    Hoo hoo you be too scared you need to go home
    Hoo hoo you be too scared you need to go home
    Hoo hoo you be too scared you need to go home
    Ch'yeah you need to go home
    Ch'yeah you need to go home

    I am the champion (hey what can I say?)
    I am the champion (hahaha)
    Lights, cameras, action (please, no interviews)
    Whenever I play (hahaha)

    Now say, "We are the champions" (we are the champions)
    We are the champions (we are the champions)
    Now say, "We are the champions" (we are the champions)
    We are the champions (we are the champions)
