Champion
Chipmunk (wapos.ru) Lyrics

Some people have to learn
Some individuals need to acquire knowledge through experience

Some people wait there turn
Some people patiently wait for their opportunity

Some people have to fight
Some individuals must struggle and face adversities to succeed

Some people give it up
Some people quit and abandon their pursuit of success

They wanna hold you back, tell ‘em pee off
Ignore the naysayers who try to hinder your progress

Whenever they say you can’t, take the T off
Believe in yourself and remove the 't' from the word can't

I remember when they told me I couldn’t be famous
The artist recalls being told that he couldn't achieve fame

Now my dream and reality is simultaneous
The artist's dream and reality have merged into one

And work your own way to the top
Success is achieved by forging your own path and working hard

If they put you on a pedestal they can take you off
Being placed on a pedestal makes you vulnerable and open to criticism

And there’s a higher level than the top
Success can always be surpassed and improved upon

You gotta make more, don’t do with what you got
Constantly strive to improve and achieve more, don't settle for what you have

Yeah, so get it in go sunny
Seize your opportunity and work hard

Not everybody gets a second chance at getting money
Not everyone is lucky enough to receive a second opportunity to attain wealth

Or even getting lucky so you gotta feel
Success is often a result of hard work and perseverance, not just luck

The hunger in your tummy
The drive and desire to succeed must come from within

This gon be the realest shit I ever wrote
The artist believes that these lyrics are the most authentic and genuine he has ever written

Off the record, no camera’s, forget a quote
This is not scripted or pre-planned, but an honest expression of the artist's thoughts and feelings

Some of my family doing good, most doing dope
The artist's family members have varying levels of success and struggle, with many involved in drugs

I from Virginia where they hang the n-ggas by rope
The artist is from Virginia, where lynching was once common and racism still exists

I used to see my momma getting beat down!
The artist witnessed his mother being physically abused

Is that the real definition of me now?
The artist questions whether his traumatic experiences define him

I fell off, back on my feet now
The artist experienced a setback but has since recovered

Headed to the sky, can’t even see down
The artist is pursuing success and is focused on the future, not looking back

Award shows, I poured my heart out
The artist puts his all into his award show performances

And people still steady trynna point my flaws out
Despite his success, some people still criticize the artist's imperfections

But I’m a champion, legend, history
The artist sees himself as a victorious and noteworthy figure in the music industry

Imagine you was the one, that couldn’t get a look in
Put yourself in the shoes of someone who struggles to gain recognition

Couldn’t get a booking
Unable to secure gigs or shows

Couldn’t get a push in when you needed a shove
Lacked support or encouragement when it was needed most

Or your buttons they be pushing
People deliberately test your patience and try to provoke you

So now they tryna shush him
People try to silence or undermine the artist's voice

It’s only you believing in you
Self-belief and determination are crucial for success

They turn you into a bastard than moment you rude
The artist acknowledges that he has been viewed negatively for his behavior in the past

Attitude a little out of tune
The artist's previous behaviors may have reflected a negative attitude

But that's how champions move
The artist sees his mistakes and past behavior as a part of his journey towards success

No-one wants to help
It can be difficult to find support or guidance from others

I guess you’re on your own
You may have to rely on yourself to achieve success

Build a foundation with the bricks they throw
Use the negative experiences and criticisms as building blocks for your success

In a black and white World, True colors show
When faced with adversity, your true character is revealed

Change if you want, everybody grows
Personal growth and change is possible if desired

Life’s like an ill, but try and get a hold
Life can be difficult, but it's important to persevere

Opinions ain't fact, take em and let em go
The opinions of others do not define your worth or abilities

But I was born a champion
The artist was born with the drive and determination to succeed
