Champion
R.B.M Lyrics

I am the champion (okay)
Confidently proclaiming oneself as the superior athlete

I am the champion (did it just get serious in here?)
Acknowledging the gravity of being the best

Lights, cameras, action (I think it did)
Prepared for the attention and spectacle of being in the spotlight

Whenever I play
The act of participating in the sport and the competitiveness that comes with it

Now say, "We are the champions" (we are the champions)
Elevating oneself to a group of champions who have succeeded before

We are the champions (we are the champions)
Repeating the idea that the group of champions is superior

Okay Bob hit the stage now
A reference to oneself as Bob, and stepping into the metaphorical stage

Lights and cameras on
Acknowledging the attention and scrutiny that comes with success

Yes I'm givin them want they want but no
Satisfying the audience's desire for entertainment without compromising one's identity

I will not ever conform
Resisting the pressure to change and remaining true to oneself

'Cause I'm outside of the norm still
Acknowledging the uniqueness of one's approach to the sport

What a spectacular form
Celebrating one's skill and ability

From the blood sweat and the tears shed
The hard work put in to achieve success

Every time I perform
The act of playing is not just a game, it's a performance

And whenever your doin' your thang, yep
Acknowledging others' efforts and successes

People gonna hate on it usually (that's right)
Recognizing that success comes with criticism and pushback

But I'm just as human as you I just look good while doin' it
Reminding others that despite success, everyone is still human

And they telling me I have so much dough
Acknowledging the financial success that comes with winning

I won't know what to do with it, hmm, well until then
Humorously acknowledging the abundance of wealth and a lack of purpose for it

I'ma continuin' maneuverin', because
Continuing to navigate the challenges that come with success

I look in the mirror and laugh like
Reflecting on one's own journey with humor and appreciation

Look at what I've become
Appreciating one's own success and accomplishments

Everyone calls me Bob but I'm still my mother's son
Despite professional success, one's identity remains grounded in family and upbringing

And I'm lowkey when I'm out now, hell no, fame ain't fun
Acknowledging the downsides of fame and choosing to remain modest

But I stay Live like NBA on yo' Playstation
Continuing to embrace the realities of fame and entertain audiences

And I entertain 'cause I'm in the game
Acknowledging the relationship between playing and entertainment

It's easy to see I ain't into fame ('cause I ain't)
Clearing up any misconceptions that fame is the primary goal

And the critics say that I imitate, but I really can't (Andre)
Addressing criticism that success and talent come from copycatting others

Please allow me to demonstrate, no matter what they say
Proactively proving one's ability and skill

I stay charged up like a triple A
Maintaining high energy and passion for the sport

(Really mane?) Really mane
Humorously addressing the skepticism of others

Hoo hoo you be too scared you need to go home
Challenging those who cannot handle the competitiveness and intensity of the sport to step down

Ch'yeah you need to go home
Reaffirming the need for others to step away if they cannot handle the challenge

I am the champion (hey what can I say?)
Confidently reinforcing one's status as the superior athlete

I am the champion (hahaha)
Playfully acknowledging the swagger that comes with being the best

Lights, cameras, action (please, no interviews)
Continuing to acknowledge the attention but being less willing to engage with press

Whenever I play (hahaha)
Reinforcing the idea that participating in the sport is entertaining and enjoyable

Whenever I
Continuing the theme of playing and competing

Play
Emphasizing the importance and enjoyment of the game
