Lyrics:

Champion (Ft. Jazmine Sullivan & Rick Ross)
Ace Hood
Ace Hoooood!!

Jazmine:
People said I wouldnt make it (make it)
That Id never get to the top
There was nothing they could say that would make me stop
So I had to keep pushing (pushing)
Through the pain and the tears
All the things Ive been through is why im standing here

Thats why they cant tell me nothing (nothing)
They cant tell me nothing (nothing)
They was wrong, this the song of a champion (champion)
Thats why they cant tell me nothing (oh nothing)
They cant tell me nothing (oh nothing)
Let me see your hands up if you a champion

Ace:
Coming up i use to watch tv
Look up at the screen
Then look at my mama
Tell her ma thats gon be me
She said son you gon be great
I knew it from the start
Your daddy was a poet
Thats how he captured my heart
Its in my blood, you ask me why I keep it real
Like (???) asking how a ni**a feel
Imagine how it feels
Waking up to nothing is enough to give you chills
Waking up to nothing is enough to make you kill
Enough to bring your daughter on a heist, its unreal
You said you gotta song living life unreal
Thats why i put my life in every song I kill
Sing it gurl

Thats why they cant tell me nothing (oh nothing)
They cant tell me nothing (oh nothing)
They was wrong, this the song of a champion (champion)
Thats why they cant tell me nothing (oh nothing)
They cant tell me nothing (oh nothing)
Let me see your hands up if you a champion

I had a job too ni**as, so what?
You haters make me laugh, how you hatin so much
Go head and do the math
Watch the numbers add up
Picture me and Khaled rollin to the grammys (??) up
Keep running to The Runners when its time to make a (beat)
Im gunning at you suckas who aint tryna feel this sh**
(??) blastin out a ni**as whip
Throwing up a peace sign to all my hustlas on the strip
Top down in the chevy yea you know i keep it pimpin
And my pistol heavy ni**as know that aint slippin
Know that im on the grind niggas know that aint slippin
My faith is on the line so you know i aint slippin
You trippin and thats why

Thats why they cant tell me nothing (nothing)
They cant tell me nothing (nothing)
They was wrong this the song of a champion (champion)
Thats why they cant tell me nothing (oh nothing)
They cant tell me nothing (oh nothing)
Let me see your hands up if you a champion

(Lets break it down for em...)
Ladies put your hands up high
(Came too far now to give up)
We gotta keep reaching for the sky
(It dont even matter say wat you want)
Fellas put your hands up in the sky
(Nothing you could say thatll make me stop)
We gotta keep reaching for the sky
(Imma keep going till i reach the top, and thats why)

Rick:
Definitely livin the life
I gravitated to the light
I sacraficed a decade
Now its times every nite
Let them suckas spectate
Cuz shorty I expect that
We still touching big weight
And surely i invest that
Break it down the best way
Cuz I know how to stretch that
Haters talking sideways
And i could never stress that
Ready for the war though
I would never compromise
Mami call me Gordo
You shine like summer time

(2x)
Thats why they cant tell me nothing (nothing)
They cant tell me nothing (nothing)
They was wrong this the song of a champion (ima champion and thats why)
Thats why they cant tell me nothing (oh nothing)
They cant tell me nothing (oh nothing)
Let me see your hands up if you a champion

People said I wouldnt make it (make it)
That Id never get to the top
There was nothing they could say that would make me stop
So I had to keep pushing (pushing)
Through the pain and the tears
All the things Ive been through is why im standing here
