[Verse 1]
Alone in my car, I'm in a parking lot, darkest spot in my mind
My tongue is dry, why do I crumble quickly, stumble swiftly?
Cursing myself, I burned the furniture a million times in my head
I'm feeling low, got nowhere to go, but back up again
[Pre-Chorus]
You gotta get bruised before you get mad
You gotta fall down before you fight back
Was feeling so weak but baby I'm strong
Little did I know I'm a champion
[Chorus]
I'm a champion-oh-oh-on, oh-oh-oh-on
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm a champion-oh-oh-on, oh-oh-oh-on
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm a champion
[Verse 2]
Nobody said it'd be an easy ride, obstacles in my way
Scars never change, why do I crumble quickly, stumble swiftly?
Cursing the world, I burn the songs I wrote a billion times in my head
I'm feeling low, got nowhere to go but back up again
[Pre-Chorus]
You gotta get bruised before you get mad
You gotta fall down before you fight back
Was feeling so weak but baby I'm strong
Little did I know I'm a champion
[Chorus]
I'm a champion-oh-oh-on, oh-oh-oh-on
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm a champion-oh-oh-on, oh-oh-oh-on
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm a champion
[Bridge]
(Mm, mm)
You gotta get bruised before you get mad (Mm)
You gotta fall down before you fight back (Mm)
Was feeling so weak but baby I'm strong (Mm)
Little did I know I'm a champion
(I'm a champion, I'm a champion)
[Chorus]
I'm a champion-oh-oh-on, oh-oh-oh-on (I'm a champion)
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm a champion-oh-oh-on, oh-oh-oh-on (Ooh, ooh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm a champion-oh-oh-on, oh-oh-oh-on (I'm a champion now)
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm a champion-oh-oh-on, oh-oh-oh-on (Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, I'm a champion)
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm a champion

Champion is a song that I wrote when my self-esteem was at an all-time low. As a woman, I feel like I have been socially trained to be so many things at once – sexy yet sweet, confident yet humble, independent yet submissive, smart but not too smart – the list is never-ending. Writing this song he...
