Heart Of A Champion (Feat Linc
Nelly Lyrics

C'mon,
Let's get started

I guess he's back 'urr dirty, s-t-l derby
I am back in St. Louis, the place where I started

I'm like magic to Kareem, man you tell me I ain't worthy
I am like Magic Johnson was to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar; I deserve to be here

I ain't speaking 'bout a jersey, I'm speaking 'bout income
I am not talking about just my basketball jersey, I am talking about my financial success

Did you hear that Elizabeth? here come the big one!
A reference to the show Sanford and Son; I have a lot of money

I put mo' money in the community than you got in yo' budget
I have invested more money in the community than the city's budget allows

I wipe my ass with yo' advance to the toilet then flush it
I am so wealthy that I use my record advance as toilet paper and flush it down the toilet

My last stance be a stance of a general custard
A reference to General Custer; my final stand will be one of victory

I hot dog cause I can, I got the cheese and mustard
I show off because I can; I have everything I need to succeed

I got the stats of a hall of famer, in just two records
My first two records have already proven me worthy of the Hall of Fame

That's why I'm back up at the Superbowl, with Julius Peppers
I am so successful that I am invited to the Super Bowl with other famous athletes like Julius Peppers

I got that can't stop, won't stop, in my veins
I have the drive and determination to keep going no matter what

That's why they can't stop, won't stop, screaming the name
My fans are just as determined to support me

Nelly! Nelly! go tell a friend to tell a friend
My fans are so passionate that they tell others about me

I'ma keep the same grin whether I, lose or win
I always keep a positive attitude whether I win or lose

Up, or down ten, I'ma fight to the end
No matter the circumstance, I will always fight to the end

Let's go
Let's get started

[Chorus]
Refrain

Ain't no way they can stop me now Nelly
No one can stop me now, I am unstoppable

Cause I'm on my way, I can feel my ring coming
I am on my way to success and I can feel it coming

It's the blood of a champion, pumping
I have the blood of a champion that keeps me going

Deep inside my veins, too much pride to be running
My pride does not allow me to give up or run away

I'ma get what I can and more, even if
I will achieve more than what I already have, even if

My blood, my sweat, and my tears don't mean nothing
Even if my hard work seems to go unnoticed, it is still worth it

It's the heart of a champion (it's the heart of me)
I have the heart of a champion, it is a part of who I am

(It's the heart of a) in me
Again, I have the heart of a champion within me

I'm the first pick, the first round, signing bonus profound
I am the top choice, chosen first in the draft, with a large signing bonus

Playing for his hometown, repping for the home ground
I am playing for my hometown and representing it well

And getting buffer like Michael Riggs, tell 'em again
I am getting more muscular like Michael Riggs and I am not afraid to repeat it

I gets buffer like Michael Riggs, heard what I said?
Again, I am getting more muscular like Michael Riggs and I want everyone to hear it

The m-v-p of the game, intensity still the same
I am the most valuable player of the game and my intensity remains the same

I'm shooting out from my reign, with Peyton Manning type aim
I am shooting to succeed at the same level as Peyton Manning

Can't stop me from scoring so they results are just hacking
Others try to stop me from scoring, but it's like they are just hacking, they don't actually succeed

So there's, three of us now,- me, A.I. and Shaq'n
Now there are three of us top athletes, me, Allen Iverson, and Shaquille O'Neal

From the look to the as I say
From the way I look to the things I say

Hover man with more heart than Hallmark on Valentine's Day
I am a superhero type figure with more heart than someone on Valentine's Day

I'm the one that you've been raven about, like Ray Lewis
I am the one that everyone is talking about, like Ray Lewis

I think it hard to go and change your route
It's hard to change your mind about me and my success

Cause you don't know if I'm blitzin' or if I'm sittin' and readin'
You don't know if I am actively trying to achieve my goals or waiting for the right moment

Waitin' for you to go and trip, drop back and throw up a brick, man
Waiting for you to make a mistake and fail

Ain't no way they blow, know, ain't no way they can, know
No one can stop me from succeeding

[Chorus]
Refrain

It's like a big time decision made on how I can twurk it
I have to make big decisions on how to succeed

If hard work pays off then easy work is worthless
If hard work brings success, then easy work is not worth it

My work habit ain't no habit man, I do it on purpose
I don't just have good work habits, I am purposeful in everything I do

I push myself to the limit so my talent'll surface
I push myself to my limits to bring out my talents

So now it's, curtains and drapes, on anybody who hates
Now it's time to end the success of anyone who hates me

Dislikin' what I'm recitin, bitin what I've been writin'
People who dislike what I do are only copying what I write

I've been dogfightin', scratchin' and clawin' on every height
I have been fighting hard to reach success at every level

I'm gonna to make you remember me like you 'Remember The Titans'
I will make sure people never forget my name or my success

Cause I'm a warr-ior, my daddy was a soldier
I am a warrior, just like my soldier father

A Vietnam vet, lil' derrty I thought I told ya
My father is a Vietnam veteran and I already mentioned it before

I'm supposed ta, whip up your town in Testarossas
I am supposed to show up in your town with style and luxury cars

Heatin like Folgers mayne, I'm young black and rich
I am wealthy and successful even at a young age

As good as it gets, and givin' your point guard fits
I am as good as it gets and cause problems for your team's point guard

He think he done seen pressure mayne, but he ain't seen shhhh
He thinks he has seen pressure before, but he has seen nothing yet

Ain't no way they can blow, know, ain't no way they can, know
No one can stop me from succeeding

[Chorus:Repeat x2]
Refrain
