Heart of a Champion (feat. Lincoln University Vocal Ensemble)

C'mon, you gotta work, gotta work
C'mon, push it!
C'mon, man, push it!
Five more, five more, c'mon you can do it!
C'mon, man
C'mon, you got with me, baby
C'mon, you got with me, baby
C'mon! (Uh, uh, uh)

I guess he's back 'urr derrty, STL derby
I'm like Magic to Kareem, man, 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 - 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'ma keep the same grin whether I lose or win
Up or down ten, I'ma fight to the end
Let's go

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'ma 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 a, it's the heart of a) in me

I'm the first pick, the first round, signin' 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 for 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 eyes, I say
Hover man with more heart than Hallmark on Valentine's Day
I'm the one that you've been ravin' about, like Ray Lewis (boom 28!)
I think it hard to go and change your route (check, boom 28!)
'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

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'ma 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 a, it's the heart of a) in me

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 dog fightin', scratchin' and clawin' on every height
Tryna make you remember me like you remember the Titans

'Cause I'm a warrior, my daddy was a soldier
A Vietnam vet, lil' derrty, I thought I told ya
I'm supposed to whip up your town in Testarossas
Heatin' like Folgers, man, I'm young, black, and rich
As good as it gets, and givin' your point guard fits
Think he had seen pressure, man, but he ain't seen shh

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

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'ma 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
In me

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'ma 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
In me
