Champion
blackwave. Lyrics

always been your favorite
I have always been the person you prefer and hold in high regard.

always been the greatest
I have always been considered the best or most skilled.

in your eyes, any challenge i could face it
In your perspective, I have the ability to overcome any challenge.

in your mind, only winning no defeat, any leap I would make it
In your thoughts, I am always victorious and capable of achieving any goal, even if it requires taking risks.

most often I did but sometimes I didn’t
Although I succeeded most of the time, there were instances where I didn't achieve what was expected.

banging my head against the ceiling that you set for me
I constantly faced obstacles and limitations that you imposed on me.

to break and jump through
My goal was to surpass those limitations and overcome the challenges you set.

to do what you couldn’t do
I aimed to achieve what you were unable to accomplish.

and make me a champion
By surpassing your expectations and achieving success, I become a champion.

could never be number two
I refused to settle for second place and always aimed to be the best.

did exactly what you want
I fulfilled your desires and met your expectations.

cuz you been the number one on my list
You have always been my top priority and the most important person to impress.

the one that I wanted to be impressed
I desired to gain your admiration and approval.

I’ma be a champion
I am determined to become a champion.

that’s what you always told me
You consistently encouraged me to strive for greatness and become a champion.

I’ma be the best of the best
I am committed to surpassing everyone else and becoming the absolute best.

like you told me to be
Just as you instructed, I will become exceptional and stand above the rest.

but if I fail will you still be proud?
In the event of failure, will you still find reasons to be proud of me?

pick me up when I’m on the ground?
Will you support and help me when I face difficulties or setbacks?

or did I let you down?
Have I disappointed or failed to meet your expectations?

mom’s did it different
My mother approached things differently than you.

with different vision
She had her own unique perspective and goals.

fighting her own fights
She faced her own battles and challenges independently.

providing, the mission
Her main focus was providing for me and ensuring my well-being.

racing both of our races
She actively participated and supported both of our endeavors.

gave me all the equipment
She provided me with all the necessary tools and resources.

all imaginable tools
She equipped me with everything I could possibly need.

a place we could live in
She created a comfortable and secure environment for us to reside in.

talking her talk
She communicated her thoughts and advice.

I wasn’t the best listener
I didn't always pay the most attention or fully heed her advice.

living my damn life
I was focused on living life on my own terms.

I drew my own picture
I created my own path and made my own choices.

doing all in her power
My mother did everything she possibly could.

swear ain’t no competition
There is no one who can rival her dedication and commitment.

been giving me everything
She has provided me with everything I need and more.

on that every day shit
She consistently supports and cares for me in our daily lives.

man shit had me trippin’
It was difficult for me to fully comprehend and appreciate her efforts.

hating the feeling
I resented the emotions that arose from my lack of understanding.

that the part that was missing
I realized that there was still something lacking or incomplete.

one that she could never fill in
It was a void that my mother could never completely fill.

cuz she wasn’t you
Because she wasn't you, she couldn't fulfill the role you held in my life.

and to tell you the truth, still put the blame on you
Honestly, I still hold you responsible for the feelings of emptiness and the longing for your presence.

for everything I did, everything I do
I attribute all my actions and choices to the influence and impact you had on me.

cuz the path that you paved, is how I move
The direction in which I navigate life is shaped by the path you set for me.

so before we get back around and I’m back with you
Therefore, before returning to your presence and influence, there are things I need to address and work through.

three point fade, I’ma hit the shot
Just like executing a successful basketball shot from beyond the three-point line, I will triumph in difficult situations.

figure out a way I can beat the clock
I will strategize and find a solution to overcome time limitations.

and give it all I got
I will put forth my maximum effort and dedication.

who am I trying to impress?
I question the motivations behind my desire to gain approval and admiration.

you, or the voices in my head?
Am I seeking your validation or am I influenced by the internal pressures and expectations within my mind?

all these expectations
There are numerous hopes and standards placed upon me.

gotta lay them to rest
I need to release and let go of these burdensome expectations.

the more that I try
The harder I strive or make an effort.

the more the question rises
The more I question and contemplate my actions and intentions.

am I doing it for me?
Is my motivation for success and achievement driven by my own desires and aspirations?

why is it so hard to see?
Why is it difficult to clearly discern my true motivations?

through the morning mist
Despite the initial confusion and foggy perception.

as the hours pass
Over time, as moments and experiences accumulate.

the daylight comes shining through
Clarity and understanding eventually emerge, just like the rising sun in the day.

everything that was hiding soon
All the obscured or concealed aspects.

will rise and make room
Will become evident and take their rightful place.

for the sun like the moon
Similar to how the moon makes way for the sun during the day, these revelations and realizations will take precedence.

and if I never try
If I never make an attempt or take a risk.

I only lose
I will inevitably face failure or miss out on potential opportunities.

and even if life doesn’t go your way
Even if circumstances don't align with your desires or expectations.

I’ma still love you just the same
I will continue to love and care for you regardless.

‘cause you’re number one
Because you hold the highest significance and importance in my life.

outro [Jordan, Jean & Willem]
Ending of the song featuring the artists Jordan, Jean, and Willem.

I’ma be a champion, champion
I will persist and become a champion, no matter what.

‘cause you’re number one
Because you are the foremost influence and priority in my life.

you’re still number one
You continue to hold the highest position and importance.

I’ma be a champion, champion
I will persevere and triumph to become a champion.

‘cause you’re number one
Your presence and guidance motivate me to succeed.

you’re still number one
You remain the primary influence and hold the utmost significance in my life.
