The Champion

[Intro]
Jet 2 whussap!
Now I always grew up wondering if I really had what it takes
Listening to everybody tell me what I can't do
And what chances I don't have
But see

[Chorus]
I hold the soul of a legend, I swear I'm destined for greatness
The moments swallowing bull from those who felt I couldn't make it
The doubts and all the disgrace
Those who turned their back in my face
Those who don't believe my potential
Will find that I will eventually be
A monster, and I put this on my life
You could write it on top my grave
That one day I will be the greatest
To come from nothing and change it
To affluence with these pages
Of poetry and emotion
And all the time and devotion
And hoping that I could open a heart behind all the flowing
And figuring they didn't give a shit
Still envisioning faith through the struggle
Behind the mind of ambition
Living through sentences
Listening to niggas tell me 'bout everything I can't get

[Verse 1]
I grew up a young nigga determined to turn the pain
From believing I wasn't shit, to shitting over the game
'Cause all I ever heard was never from everyone I would tell of
My goals and I swear it feels like they'd hate to see me get up
Forever living in the midst of just wishing that I could feel
The same love I never felt at home and still could never get
Steady trying to even the odds even the closest to me set
They say that I could never hang, I ain't been off the ropes yet
And then I started dreaming and scheming while they were sleeping
Believing even if I ain't seen it
Part of the things that assisted into my thesis
Resisting to fall short of the mission
Even if I slip, I'ma pick it in an instant

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm a monster, and I put that on my life that you could get it
I swear the minutes are ticking, I'm never missing a second
Fuck hearing, I let my eyes listen, actions do the talking
My spirit glows in the darkness to aura even the darkest of corners
Fuck what they think and not having, 'cause I'ma grab it
And take it
And change the minds of those who never thought I'd change it
I'm a champion
And it doesn't take a Super Bowl to see it, my record is undefeated
My confidence is the team and I

[Verse 2]
Struggled just to see the day that I'd be shot down
Niggas said "I told you so," but it never controlled the stroll
I'm beastin', eating every single thing in the way
Tried to take a shot at my pride, I just end up bleeding the pain
And I release it through vehemence
My magnitude is so absolute
Through the eye of a tiger, I see the heart of a lion inside me
And how could they manage to change ya when you
Got the wisdom of Mufasa and swagger of baby Simba
I've been striving just to rise out the ground and get to the sky
And then sit in it for a minute
Then venture further the distance
I'm seldom concerned with critics, their opinion doesn't matter
I'ma keep dishing flows until I channel like a satellite
Just accept the reception, the service is nearly perfect
Only several bars short of greatness
The story's told, the legend suffers from commitment
But sits in determination, I'm hungry
The world's the plate, and I swear I deserve the cake
And the cookie dough and the bread, turn the universe to a bakery
Only eat half, and then swallow the whole galaxy
I'm a masterpiece, a craftsman, I'm the greatest
And my soul is strong
And they can never break it, no matter how much they hatin' bitch
Fall back, Satan, I'm amazing
The soul of an angel, yet I'm blazing like a laser, never lazy, nigga
Better trail me nigga
You can never chain me nigga
Can you change me, never
And on these tracks I'ma train these niggas
Bitch, I'm so opposite of calm right now
And it's all fun and games, you don't wanna see me angry nigga
Fuck the critics and the doubters and the haters, nigga
You can't tame me, nigga, never

[Verse 3]
I learned everything you do comes back to you and whom it may concern
'Cause the good finish last, but the last laugh's best
And that makes it even better
You had your giggle first, now I'ma laugh until my head hurt
While you hurtin', 'cause while I was hurtin', all they did was make
A mockery of all the things that I believed that I could be
And now I see that I could reach for the sun if I believe
That I could be any and every single thing that they doubted
That I would be, 'cause I'm a champion
And all I can hear are the fans chanting him
"Go Jet 2," I envision this while I'm practicing
So when it happens, those who doubt me will believe in magic
I went from hysterical to a lyrical miracle
And as the expectations rise, I just rise above the occasion
Any shot, I'ma take it, half court, I'ma make it
This is right before the buzzard to change the pace of the game
The momentum in my possession, put me in the hall of fame

[Bridge]
'Cause I'm a monster, and I swear that I'ma go so
Way reverse of so slow
I ain't waiting no more, better put my shot in slow-mo
When I shoot it, 'cause I'm aiming at the music
And I swear that I'ma do it, because I ain't 'bout to lose this, niggie
Victory was meant for me, fuck what they tell you
And this goes out to anybody that has ever felt you
Were slept on, just as long as you kept on
Those sleepers are gonna be crept on
So keep going, and I'ma keep flowing until we show 'em
Greatness

[Talking]
See I came from hearing I had no chance all my life
At anything I did
But see, what separates me from them
Is I stay true to my soul no matter what

[Chorus]
I hold the soul of a legend, I swear I'm destined for greatness
The moments swallowing bull from those who felt I couldn't make it
The doubts and all the disgrace
Those who turned their back in my face
Those who don't believe my potential
Will find that I will eventually be
A champion
