Champion
I'm a champion
I will rise and shine above
All the clouds and rain will fade away
I'm a champion Another youth had to die today.
Standing lawless prolonged and a bullet came and blew away
his brains and it missed it
It watched his future fade away
Running from the police he had to learn the hard way
Damn! Mike Brown in Ferguson!
But niggas still wondering...
What's going on with our black men?
What happened to Trayvon Martin?
...And the dreams of Martin Luther King?
And yes we still remeber what happened to Rodney King
And all the fallen kings
Police brutality.
That's why we in the streets
WHAT BLACK LIVES REALLY MEAN?
We we was ripped of our identites, ripped from our ancestery Sold into slavery, fought for our liberty!
Mislead to be Free, but still we not free...
Enslaved to this mentality
Roots of a ghetto society...
I'm a champion
(whether I win or lose)
I will rise and shine above
(even if I get hurt or bruised.)
All the clouds and rain will fade away
(ghetto youth we have to choose)
I'm a champion We had our hands up.
So don't shoot us
Dear Mr. Officer,
We don't have no weapons
No weapon formed against us shall prosper
Yes. I speak my mind like I was spittin' a revovler
So tell me why niggas can't stop the violence,
but over one man's death niggas be ready to start a riot!
(start a riot)
That ain't the way to solve it!
We have to "Million Man March" it
We'll never forget the dreams of Martin Luther King!
And yes we still remeber what happened to Rodney King
And all the fallen kings
Police brutality.
That's why we in the streets
WHAT BLACK LIVES REALLY MEAN?
We we was ripped of our identites, ripped from our ancestery Sold into slavery, fought for our liberty!
Mislead to be Free, but still we not free...
Enslaved to this mentality
Youths of a ghetto society...
I'm a champion
I will rise and shine above
All the clouds and rain will fade away
I'm a champion Whether I win or lose
Even if I get hurt or bruised.
Ghetto youth we have to choose
I'm a champion
I will rise and shine above
All the clouds and rain will fade away
I'm a champion Another youth had to die today.
Standing lawless prolonged and a bullet came and blew away
his brains and it missed it
It watched his future fade away
