Kanye West - Champion(2007)

[00:00.99] Did you realize
[00:02.99] That you were a champion in their eyes?
[00:05.86] Yes I did, so I packed it up and brought it back to the crib
[00:09.66] Just a little somethin', show you how we live
[00:11.93] Everybody want it but it ain't that serious
[00:14.44] Mmm hmm, that's that shit
[00:16.75] So if you gon' do it, do it just like this
[00:19.32] Did you realize
[00:21.67] That you were a champion in their eyes?
[00:24.48] You don't see just how wild the crowd is?
[00:26.60] You don't see just how fly my style is?
[00:28.84] I don't see why I need a stylist
[00:31.00] When I shop so much I can speak Italian
[00:33.37] I don't know I just want it better for my kids
[00:35.76] And I ain't sayin' we was from the projects
[00:38.08] But every time I wanted, layaway or a deposit
[00:40.28] My daddy'd say "When you see clothes, close your eyelids"
[00:42.83] We was sort of like Will Smith and his son
[00:45.20] In the movie, I ain't talkin' 'bout the rich ones
[00:47.73] 'Cause every summer he'd get some
[00:50.00] Brand new hare-brained scheme to get rich from
[00:52.22] And I don't know what he did for dough
[00:54.23] But he'd send me back to school wit' a new wardrobe and ayy
[00:57.44] Did you realize
[00:59.44] That you were a champion in their eyes?
[01:02.31] I think he did, when he packed it up and brought it back to the crib
[01:06.16] Just a little somethin' show you how we lived
[01:08.48] Everything I wanted man it seemed so serious
[01:11.06] Mmm hmm, that's that shit
[01:13.19] So if you gon' do it, do it just like this
[01:15.77] Did you realize
[01:18.05] That you were a champion in their eyes?
[01:20.88] When it feel like livin's harder than dyin'
[01:22.94] For me givin' up's way harder than tryin'
[01:25.22] Lauryn Hill said her heart was in Zion
[01:27.52] I wish her heart still was in rhymin'
[01:30.28] 'Cause who the kids gon' listen to? Huh?
[01:33.07] I guess me if it isn't you
[01:34.84] Last week I paid a visit to the institute
[01:37.16] They got the drop out keepin' kids in the school
[01:39.55] I guess I'll clean up my act like Prince'll do
[01:41.84] If not for the pleasure, least for the principle
[01:44.10] They got the CD then got to see me drop gems
[01:46.66] Like I dropped out of P.E.
[01:49.11] They used to feel invisible
[01:51.47] Now they know they invincible, ayy
[01:53.93] Did you realize
[01:55.88] That you were a champion in their eyes?
[01:58.21] This is the story of a champion
[02:00.24] Runners on their mark and they pop the guns
[02:02.42] Stand up, stand up, here he comes
[02:04.81] Tell me what it takes to be number one?
[02:07.26] Tell me what it takes to be number one?
[02:09.76] This is the story of a champion
[02:12.46] Runners on their mark and they pop the guns
