Lyrics:

[intro Chris Brown & Chipmunk]
some People Have To Learn
some People Wait Their Turn
some People Have To Fight, Yeah
some People Give Their Life, Oh (Yeah)

[verse 1 Chipmunk]
they Wanna Hold You Back, Tell 'em Pee Off
whenever They Say You Can't, Take The T Off
i Remember When They Told Me I Wouldn't Be Famous
now My Dream And Reality's Simultaneous
and Work Your Own Way To The Top
if They Put You On A Pedestal, They Can Take You Off
and There's A Higher Level Than The Top
you Gotta Make More, Don't Make Do With What You Got
yeah, So And Get It In, Sonny
not Everybody Gets A Second Chance At Gettin' Money (Money)
or Even Gettin' Lucky
so You Gotta Feel The Hunger In Your Tummy

[pre-Chorus Chris Brown, Chipmunk & Both]
i'm Always Pushing Myself To The Limit, Making Sure I Stay Ahead (That's Right)
you Made Me Who I Am, From The Words You Said (Yeah)

[chorus Chris Brown & Chipmunk]
some People Have To Learn (Aha, Yeah)
some People Wait Their Turn (Aha, Uh)
some People But Not Me, Yeah, Oh
i Was Born A Champion (That's Right)
some People Have To Fight (Aha)
some People Give Their Life (Aha)
some People Don't Believe, Whoa-Oh
but I Was Born A Champion (Yeah)
but I Was Born A Champion (Yeah, Yeah)
but I Was Born A Champion

[verse 2 Chris Brown]
uh, This Gon' Be The Realest Shit I Ever Wrote
off The Records, No Cameras, Forget A Quote
some Of My Family Doin' Good, Most Doin' Dope
i'm From Virginia Where They Hang Them Niggas By A Rope
i Used To See My Momma Gettin' Beat Down
is That The Real Definition Of Me Now
i Fell Off, Back On My Feet Now
headed To The Sky, Can't Even See Down
award Shows, I Pour My Heart Out
and People Still Steady Tryna Point My Flaws Out
and I'd Be Lyin' If I Say It Ain't Get To Me
but I'm A Champion, Legend, History

[pre-Chorus Chris Brown, Chipmunk & Both]
i'm Always Pushing Myself To The Limit, Making Sure I Stay Ahead (That's Right)
you Made Me Who I Am, From The Words You Said (Yeah)

[chorus Chris Brown & Chipmunk]
some People Have To Learn (Aha, Yeah)
some People Wait Their Turn (Aha, Uh)
some People But Not Me, Yeah, Oh
i Was Born A Champion (That's Right)
some People Have To Fight (Aha)
some People Give Their Life (Aha)
some People Don't Believe, Whoa-Oh
but I Was Born A Champion (Yeah)
but I Was Born A Champion (Yeah, Yeah)
but I Was Born A Champion

[verse 3 Chipmunk, Chris Brown & Both]
okay, No One Wants To Help, I Guess You're On Your Own
build A Foundation With The Bricks They Throw
in A Black And White World, True Colours Show
change If You Want, Everybody Grows
and Life's Like An Eel, But Try And Get A Hold
opinions Ain't Facts, Take 'em In And Let 'em Go (That's Right)
you Made Me Who I Am, From The Words You Said (Yeah)

[chorus Chris Brown & Chipmunk]
some People Have To Learn (Aha, Whoa-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh, Yeah)
some People Wait Their Turn (Aha, Uh)
some People But Not Me, Yeah, Oh
i Was Born A Champion (Champion, Ooh, That's Right)
some People Have To Fight (Aha, Woo!)
some People Give Their Life (Aha)
some People Don't Believe
but I Was Born A Champion (I Was, I Was, Yeah)
some People Have To Learn (Aha)
some People Wait Their Turn (Aha)
some People But Not Me, Yeah, Oh
i Was Born A Champion
some People Have To Fight (Aha)
some People Give Their Life (Aha, Give Their Life)
some People Don't Believe, Whoa-Oh
but I Was Born A Champion

[outro Chris Brown & Chipmunk]
