  • Some people have to learn
    Some people wait there turn
    Some people have to fight
    Some people give it up

    They wanna hold you back, tell ‘em pee off
    Whenever they say you can’t, take the T off
    I remember when they told me I couldn’t be famous
    Now my dream and reality is 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 do with what you got

    Yeah, so get it in go sunny
    Not everybody gets a second chance at getting money
    Or even getting lucky so you gotta feel
    The hunger in your tummy

    I’m always pushing myself to the limit
    Making sure I stay ahead
    You made me who I am, from the words you said

    Some people have to learn
    Some people wait there 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
    I was born a champion
    But I was born a champion
    But I was born a champion

    This gon be the realest shit I ever wrote
    Off the record, no camera’s, forget a quote
    Some of my family doing good, most doing dope
    I from Virginia where they hang the n-ggas by rope

    I used to see my momma getting 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 poured my heart out
    And people still steady trynna point my flaws out
    And I’d be lying if I said it ain’t get to me
    But I’m a champion, legend, history

    I’m always pushing myself to the limit
    Making sure I stay ahead
    You made me who I am, from the words you said

    Some people have to learn
    Some people wait there 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
    I was born a champion
    But I was born a champion
    But I was born a champion

    Imagine you was the one, that couldn’t get a look in
    Couldn’t get a booking
    Couldn’t get a push in when you needed a shove
    Or your buttons they be pushing
    So now they tryna shush him
    It’s only you believing in you
    They turn you into a bastard than moment you rude
    Attitude a little out of tune
    But thats how champions move
    Yeah so go and get it in sunny
    Not everybody gets a second chance at getting money
    Or even getting lucky
    So you gotta feel the hunger in your tummy

    I’m always pushing myself to the limit
    Making sure I stay ahead
    You made me who I am, from the words you said

    Some people have to learn
    Some people wait there 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
    I was born a champion
    But I was born a champion
    But I was born a champion

    No-one wants to help
    I guess you’re on your own
    Build a foundation with the bricks they throw
    In a black and white World, True colors show
    Change if you want, everybody grows
    Life’s like an ill, but try and get a hold
    Opinions ain't fact, take em and let em go

    You made me who I am from the words you said

    Some people have to learn
    Some people wait there turn
    Some people but not me
    I was born a champion (champion)

    Some people have to fight
    Some people give their lives
    Some people don’t believe
    But I was born a champion

    Some people have to learn
    Some people wait there turn
    Some people but not me
    I was born a champion (champion)

    Some people have to learn
    Some people wait there turn
    Some people but not me
    I was born a champion
    But I was born a champion Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
