Champion
Fireboy Dml Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I be king
I'm the best my generation ever seen
I came suddenly
I be like nepa bill
And ever since I never miss
I've been smashing
I've been killing everything
From Ikeja to Ojuelegba beach
To the many place that I've never been

Remember this
I'm a king
I'm a legend in the making
I'm a champion
Champion, champion
I'm a motherfucking champion

Remember this
I'm a king
I'm a legend in the making
I'm a champion
Champion, champion
I'm a motherfucking champion
Remember this
I'm a king
I'm a legend in the making
I'm a

Super good
Ay I been finding silver lining
Where them other say
I need patience in good time
And I've been reclining my designer
I've been grinding for my needs
But a way to give my nephew
Put them diamonds on my niece, shining
So dope that I purchased 88 keys
For my man to play a song
I call my eighty HD
With this baby face fine girls them really hate me
Give them belly eggs level ways deep
Every occasion I put money in safe, keep
Very impatient, be on time when you pay me
Very invasive when they hating
What they see
Made me a nation then they called me a stale king
Bill rings in
In my hands are raised
MGM grinding andale
Envy him now and my victory is just began
When you see me
Just know that you looking at a motherfucking champion

Champion, champion
I'm a motherfucking champion

Remember this
I'm a king
I'm a legend in the making
I'm a champion
Champion, champion
I'm a motherfucking champion

Remember this
I'm a king
I'm a legend in the making

I'm a average boy from the average street
With an empty pocket and a bag of dreams
Many things wey hin eyes don see
Many tears wey hin eyes don bleed
Through the rise and falls
I made it to the top
E no get anything wey you wan talk

Oh I'm a champion
Champion, champion
I'm a motherfucking champion
I'm a king
I'm a legend in the making
I'm a champion
Champion, champion
I'm a motherfucking champion

Remember this




I'm a legend in the making
I'm a

Overall Meaning

In "Champion," Fireboy DML boasts about being a king, a legendary figure, and a champion. He believes that he is the best and most exceptional person of his generation.
