| [00:00.00] |
Did you realize |
| [00:03.44] |
That you are a champion? |
| [00:04.50] |
Yeah right |
| [00:05.87] |
|
| [00:06.74] |
Yes I did, so I packed it up and brought it back to the crib |
| [00:09.64] |
Just a lil' somethin' show you how we live |
| [00:11.74] |
|
| [00:12.26] |
E'r'body want it but it ain't that se'ious |
| [00:13.65] |
Mmhmm, that's that sh*t |
| [00:16.79] |
So if you gon' do it, do it just like this |
| [00:19.48] |
(Did you realize |
| [00:20.15] |
That you are a champion? |
| [00:23.09] |
|
| [00:23.80] |
Yeah right) |
| [00:24.75]Verse 1:] |
|
| [00:25.09] |
You don't see just how wild the crowd is? |
| [00:26.80] |
You don't see just how fly my style is? |
| [00:29.00] |
I don't know why I need a stylist |
| [00:30.96] |
When I shop so much I can speak Italian |
| [00:33.04] |
|
| [00:33.73] |
I don't know I just wanted better for my kids |
| [00:36.09] |
And I ain't sayin' we was from the projects |
| [00:37.54] |
But everytime I want it, layaway or a deposit |
| [00:40.63] |
My dad'll say "when you see clothes close ya eyelids" |
| [00:43.35] |
We was sorta like Will Smith and his son |
| [00:45.50] |
In the movie I ain't talkin' 'bout the rich ones |
| [00:47.66] |
'Cause every summer he'll get some |
| [00:49.99] |
Brand new hare-brained scheme to get rich from |
| [00:52.30] |
And I don't know what he did for dough |
| [00:54.45] |
But he'd sent me back to school wit' a new wardrobe and hey! |
| [00:57.08]Chorus 2: Kanye & (sample)] |
|
| [00:58.10] |
(Did you realize |
| [00:59.38] |
That you are a champion? |
| [01:00.33] |
Yeah right) |
| [01:01.11] |
I think he did, when he packed it up and brought it back to the crib |
| [01:06.29] |
Just a lil' somethin' show you how we live |
| [01:08.30] |
|
| [01:08.84] |
E'r'thing I wanted man it seemed so se'ious |
| [01:11.16] |
Mmhmm, that's that sh*t |
| [01:13.34] |
So if you gon' do it, do it just like this |
| [01:15.92] |
(Did you realize |
| [01:16.78] |
|
| [01:18.72] |
That you are a champion? |
| [01:20.41] |
Yeah right) |
| [01:21.18]Verse 2:] |
|
| [01:21.51] |
When it feel like livin's harder than dyin' |
| [01:23.14] |
For me givin' up's way harder than tryin' |
| [01:25.28] |
Lauryn Hill say her heart was in Zion |
| [01:27.67] |
I wish her heart still was in rhymin' |
| [01:29.62] |
|
| [01:30.28] |
'Cause who the kids gon' listen to? Huh? |
| [01:33.29] |
I guess me if it isn't you |
| [01:34.98] |
Last week I paid a visit to the institute |
| [01:37.27] |
They got the crop out keepin' kids in the school |
| [01:39.62] |
I guess I'll clean up my act like Prince'll do |
| [01:41.77] |
If not for the pleasure, least for the principle |
| [01:44.18] |
They got the CD then got to see me drop gems |
| [01:46.57] |
Like I dropped out of P.E. |
| [01:48.18] |
|
| [01:49.96] |
They used to feel invisible |
| [01:51.15] |
|
| [01:52.19] |
Now they know they invincible |
| [01:53.95]Chorus 3: unknown singer & (sample)] |
|
| [01:54.99] |
(Did you realize |
| [01:55.73] |
That you are a champion? |
| [01:58.03] |
Yeah right) |
| [01:58.82] |
This is the story of a champion |
| [02:00.62] |
Rounders in the mob and they pop the guns |
| [02:02.72] |
Stand up stand up! Here he comes |
| [02:05.04] |
Tell me what it takes to be number one? |
| [02:06.54] |
Tell me what it takes to be number one? |
| [02:09.74] |
This is the story of a champion |
| [02:11.66] |
|
| [02:12.21] |
Rounders in the mob and they pop the guns |
| [02:14.58] |
Stand up stand up! Here he comes |
| [02:16.72] |
Tell me what it takes to be number one? |
