Champion

(альбом: Words Are Weapons - 2023)

I'm a champion. I'm an unstoppable force.
I don't quit. I'm like a wrecking ball, I keep swinging
When they zig, I zag. Try to go over me, I go under you.
When they've given up, I'm just warming up
I'm a champion

So the crazy thing about winning at anything in life is this
The victory is not achieved in the end zone
It's not on the scale, it's not in the bank account balance
It's not the investment portfolio, it's not the relationship healed
No, what most people see as success is really the result of the pain
Of the process, of the pursuit, of those tear-filled prayers, of the years of passion
You know, they see the social media post, they don't see the grind
They see the mountain summit, but they don't see the climb
But the climb, that's where the victory is won
That's where success is found
A champion is not a champion because of where they ended up
A champion is a champion because of who they became on the way up

If I can look up, I can get up
I'm not done here yet. This ain't amateur hour.
This is full power, my time. Full throttle, blood, sweat and tears.
They said I was finished, but I'm still here
I'm a champion
No plan B. If God is for me, who could be against me?
All in, fully committed, gritting my teeth, undefeated
You ain't moving me. Pain ain't new to me.
Let's go. I'm a champion.

You know, the crazy thing about winning at anything in life is this
Victory is not achieved in the end zone
It's not achieved on the scale. It's not achieved in the bank account.
It's not achieved in the investment portfolio or the relationship healed
You know, what most people see as success, it's really just the result
It's the result of the pain, of the process, of the pursuit
Of those tear-filled prayers, of the years of passion
You know, they see a social media post. They don't see the grind.
They see the mountain summit but, they don't see the climb
You know what? That climb, that's actually where the victory is won
That's where success is found
A champion is not a champion because of where they end up
A champion is a champion because of who they become on the way up

Born to rise, I was born ready
Sworn in, taking the oath, there ain't many
Left who will fight the fight, it gets heavy
Will the real men please stand up?
Will the real husbands and dads please stand up?
Will the real champions please stand up?
Street fighter with the heart of a lion, black horse forged in the fire
See a shot, and I take it. Try to block me, I fake ye.
I'm not backing down, I'm moving up
You're not giving it, I'm taking it
I came to win, total domination
Do I look tired to you? My spirit's lit, Proverbs 22
I'm a champion, an overcomer
The underdog taking the throne. Success is my home.
Destiny's calling, I'm not alone
I'm not afraid of the fire, I savor the flame
Cause I trained, I won't runaway
I don't collapse, I adapt
When life hits, I hit back
I fear none, I fear no one
Cause I'm a champion. I'm a champion!
