Heart Of A Champion

(album: Sweat - 2004)

[Nelly:]
I guess he's back 'urr derrty, STL derby
I'm like Magic to Kareem, mayne you tell me I ain't Worthy
I ain't speakin 'bout a jersey, I'm speakin 'bout income
DID YOU HEAR THAT ELIZABETH? HERE COME THE BIG ONE!
I put mo' money in the community than you got in yo' budget
I wipe my ass with yo' advance to the toilet then flush it
My last stance be a stance of a General Custer
I hot dog cause I can, I got the cheese and mustard
I got the stats of a hall of famer in just two records
That's why I'm back up at the Super Bowl with Julius Peppers
I got that can't stop, won't stop, in my veins
That's why they can't stop, won't stop, screamin the name
NELLY! NELLY! Go tell a friend to tell a friend
I'mma keep the same grin whether I, lose or win
Up, or down ten, I'mma fight to the end
Let's go

[L.U.V.E.:]
Ain't no way they can stop me now Nelly
Cause I'm on my way, I can feel my ring comin
It's the blood of a champion, pumpin
Deep inside my veins, too much pride to be runnin
I'mma get what I can and more, even if
My blood, my sweat, and my tears don't mean nothin
It's the heart of a champion (it's the heart of me)
(It's the heart of a..) in me

[Nelly:]
I'm the first pick, the first round, signing bonus profound
Playin for his hometown, reppin for the home ground
And gettin bucks like Michael Redd, tell 'em again
I gets bucks like Michael Redd, heard what I said?
The MVP of the game, intensity still the same
I'm shootin out from my reign, with Peyton Manning-type aim
Can't stop me from scorin so they resort to just hackin
So there's, three of us now me, A.I. and Shaq'n
From the look to the as I say
Hover man with more heart than Hallmark on Valentine's Day
I'm the one that you've been raving about, like Ray Lewis
I think it hard to go and change your route
Cause you don't know if I'm blitzin or if I'm sittin and readin
Waitin for you to go and trip, drop back and throw up a pick, man
AIN'T NO WAY THEY CAN BLOW, AIN'T NO WAY THEY CAN BLOW
AIN'T NO WAY THEY CAN BLOW, AIN'T NO WAY THEY CAN BLOW

[L.U.V.E.:]
Ain't no way they can stop me now Nelly
Cause I'm on my way, I can feel my ring comin
It's the blood of a champion, pumpin
Deep inside my veins, too much pride to be runnin
I'mma get what I can and more, even if
My blood, my sweat, and my tears don't mean nothin
It's the heart of a champion (it's the heart of me)
(It's the heart of a..) in me

[Nelly:]
It's like a big time decision made on how I can twurk it
If hard work pays off then easy work is worthless
My work habit ain't no habit man, I do it on purpose
I push myself to the limit so my talent'll surface
So now it's, curtains and drapes, on anybody who hates
Dislikin what I'm recitin, bitin what I've been writin
I've been dogfightin, scratchin and clawin on every hike
Tryin to make you remember me like you Remember the Titans
Cause I'm a WARR-IOR, my daddy was a soldier
A Vietnam vet, lil' derrty I thought I told ya
I'm supposed ta, whip up your town in Testarossas
Heatin like Folgers mayne, I'm young, black, and rich
As good as it gets, and givin your point guard fits
He think he done seen pressure mayne, but he ain't seen shhhh
AIN'T NO WAY THEY CAN BLOW, AIN'T NO WAY THEY CAN BLOW
AIN'T NO WAY THEY CAN BLOW, AIN'T NO WAY THEY CAN BLOW
