SoMo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For things we need in our lives
I've got the heart of a champion, but with you I'm more
I've tried to repress my desires
Baby, you got me on fire
The pedestal, please
Can I get you off of that, get you off of that?
I work for that body, boo
(DJ!)
I'll be next to you, sitting in the treetops
Staring at the moon, ballin' 'cause we rock
Baby girl, I'm glad to show you
Now they know
I'm a champion
I'm a champion
I've been practicing around the world
Taking my chances on the baddest girls
Gotta stack my tickets up so I cash 'em in for ya
Roll my body like an Oscar
Girl, you're acting up, acting up
The pedestal, please
Can I get you off of that, get you off of that?
Girl, just call me back soon
I work for that body, boo
(DJ!)
I'll be next to you, sitting in the treetops
Staring at the moon, ballin' 'cause we rock
Baby girl, I'm glad to show you
Now they know
I'm a champion
I'm a champion
Can I pick it up? Can I claim this award?
Why is this trophy by itself?
DJ, pick it up, I'ma win it off the shelf
Can't give it up to nobody else
(DJ!)
I'll be next to you, sitting in the treetops
Staring at the moon, ballin' 'cause we rock
Baby girl, I'm glad to show you
Now they know
I'm a champion
I'm a champion
I'll be next to you, sitting in the treetops
Staring at the moon, ballin' 'cause we rock
Baby girl, I'm glad to show you
Now they know
I'm a champion
I'm a champion
In SoMo's song "Champion," the artist talks about life as a game of competition, where people are in constant competition to get what they want. He states that he has the "heart of a champion," but with his partner, he feels like even more of a champion. He admits that he has tried to suppress his desires before but he cannot do that with his partner. This suggests that his partner is very important to him and he can be his real self around them.
In the chorus, the artist talks about sitting next to his partner in treetops, staring at the moon, and enjoying their time together. He refers to both of them as ballers who rock and says that he is happy to show his partner how much of a champion he is. This could suggest that they have been through a lot together and he is proud to have her as his partner.
In the second verse, he says that he has been practicing his moves around the world, taking his chances with the "baddest girls." However, he realizes that he wants to invest in his partner and stack up his tickets. This means that he wants to focus on his relationship and make it a priority.
Overall, the song is about love and how it can make someone feel like a champion.
