Be a Champion (feat. Idris Elba & Tiggs Da Author)

We gon' let them know my story
Take all their gold, the glory
My Mama said, "You're gonna be a champion"
Yuh, yuh, yuh, yuh

My Mama said, "One day you're gonna be a champion"
(Champion, oh yeah)
My Mama said, "One day you're gonna be a champion"
(Champion, oh yeah) yeah
We gon' let them know my story (oh yeah, yeah)
Take all their gold, the glory (oh yeah, yeah)
She said, "One day, one day you're gonna be a champion"
(Champion, oh yeah)

Raised in the woods with the wolves
Made a book with a million thoughts
Not for the money, for the cause
Mummy had to give me that talk
She said, "You better crawl before you walk, son"
"Before you run, you've got to waltz"
In class I was bored to the Jed, 'til a brother
Switch class, now I'm chairin' the board with a double bah

Victory, I was on a mission
Under pressure, couldn't see my way
Yeah, pulled up in my rental, crush the pedal, let them see my ray
I'm bringin' it home for any team that'll play for
These are the days and the things that we wait for
Down on our knees, any reason we pray for
Grateful

My Mama said, "One day you're gonna be a champion"
(Champion, oh yeah)
My Mama said, "One day you're gonna be a champion"
(Champion, oh yeah) yeah
We gon' let them know my story (oh yeah, yeah)
Take all their gold, the glory (oh yeah, yeah)
She said, "One day, one day you're gonna be a champion"
(Champion, oh yeah)

It was all for the sport, in it for the long
But the devil took shots
Close competition, there will be no more
Though I'm good with the pen, there will be no draw
Just straight writing, round of applause
We were with it before, we couldn't count the awards
Round up the horses, the force with more kings
We're back on track, hear the sound of the horns, yeah

History, I was on a mission
Under pressure, couldn't see my way
Yeah, pulled up in my rental, crush the pedal, let them see my ray
I went first, I've been a champ ever since my birth
Put in that work, you get what you deserve
This is my purpose, said this is my worth
Gonna read my page

My Mama said one day I'll be in a race, yeah
(Be in a race, my son, do well)
Now I know, now I know what she was talking about, yeah
(Be in a race, my son, you shall)
She said, "Don't let them take you down, no"
She said, "Keep your head above the sky, now"
She said one day, one day I'm gonna be a champion"
Yeah

So I climbed and I climbed and I climbed
Just to find, just to find, just to find yeah
My Mama was right, I'll always be a champion
(Champion, oh yeah)

My Mama said, "One day you're gonna be a champion"
(Champion, oh yeah)
My Mama said, "One day you're gonna be a champion"
(Champion, oh yeah) yeah
We gon' let them know my story (oh yeah, yeah)
Take all their gold, the glory (oh yeah, yeah)
She said, "One day, one day you're gonna be a champion"
(Champion, oh yeah)

My Mama said, "One day you're gonna be a champion"
(Champion, oh yeah) yeah, yeah, uh
My Mama said, "One day you're gonna be a champion"
(Champion, oh yeah) yeah
