Fall Out Boy linked up with the group leader of K-Pop sensation BTS, RM, to remix their 2017 summer single “Champion.”
The remixed track rhythm morphed the rock tune of the original song to electronic-pop sounds with a feature of RM’s lively rap though it maintained the primary chord progression. D...
[Intro: Patrick Stump]
Champion
Champion
Champion
[Verse 1: RM]
Yo, should I be a star? Baby, I think I already are
Not a saint, not that great, feel like I was born a car
In '94, the world started me and I've been driving
Sometimes a man just can't open his car, and
Ain't gotta be somebody, be anybody
Rather be anybody than live in a dead body
If you can't see me then find a helicopter
In the night sky, shine like a star
[Verse 2: Patrick Stump]
And I'm back with a madness
I'm a champion of the people who don't believe in champions
I got nothing but dreams inside
I got nothing but dreams
[Pre-Chorus: Patrick Stump]
I'm just young enough to still believe, still believe
But young enough not to know what to believe in
Young enough not to know what to believe in
[Chorus: Patrick Stump]
If I can live through this
If I can live through this
If I can live through this
I can do anything
If I can live through this
If I can live through this
If I can live through this
I can do anything
[Refrain: Patrick Stump]
Champion, champion
I can do anything
Champion, champion
[Verse 3: Patrick Stump]
I got rage every day, on the inside
The only thing I do is sit around and kill time
I'm trying to blow out the pilot light
I'm trying to blow out the light
[Pre-Chorus: Patrick Stump]
I'm just young enough to still believe, still believe
But young enough not to know what to believe in
Young enough not to know what to believe
[Chorus: Patrick Stump]
If I can live through this
If I can live through this
If I can live through this
I can do anything
If I can live through this
If I can live through this
If I can live through this
I can do anything
[Verse 4: RM]
Have you ever felt how hard it is to be an anybody
To be living, to be breathing, not choosing a dead body
Remember, the man told me that this life is a party
Yeah, all the glory's so short you should put away the garbages
Normal ain't normal, ordinary is a luxury
People say "Woo, pessimism" what the other mean?
If you wanna understand, you stand under
This shit is vital, respect to the mothers and fathers
What's wrong with the life of a passenger
If somebody gotta be, then I'mma be the messenger
I'm just too young, don't know what to believe in
But too young, you know, not to be living
I will stay, I will wait and I'll fight like a king
Even though I can forever ever be a king
I will marry this goddamn world, by my own
And put myself on a goddamn ring
[Chorus: Patrick Stump]
If I can live through this
If I can live through this
If I can live through this
I can do anything
I can do anything I can
Do anything, anything, yeah
If I can live through this
If I can live through, live through this
If I can live through this (If I can live through this)
If I can live through this (If I can live through)
If I can live through this (If I can live through this)
I can do anything
(I can do anything)
If I can live through this
(I can do anything)
If I can live through this
(I can do anything)
If I can live through this
I can do anything
[Outro: Patrick Stump]

“My kid had a birthday party at this arcade, and I was looking around trying to avoid nine-year-olds for a minute, and… a small group of people came running into the arcade, and then a giant group behind them. And I...
