Did you realize

That you are a champion?

Yeah right）

Yes I did, so I packed it up and brought it back to the crib

Just a lil somethin show you how we live

E r body want it but it ain t that se ious

Mmhmm, that s that sh*t

So if you gon do it, do it just like this

（Did you realize

That you are a champion?

Yeah right）

Verse 1:]

You don t see just how wild the crowd is?

You don t see just how fly my style is?

I don t know why I need a stylist

When I shop so much I can speak Italian

I don t know I just wanted better for my kids

And I ain t sayin we was from the projects

But everytime I want it, layaway or a deposit

My dad ll say when you see clothes close ya eyelids

We was sorta like Will Smith and his son

In the movie I ain t talkin bout the rich ones

Cause every summer he ll get some

Brand new hare-brained scheme to get rich from

And I don t know what he did for dough

But he d sent me back to school wit a new wardrobe and hey!

Chorus 2: Kanye & （sample）]

E r thing I wanted man it seemed so se ious

Mmhmm, that s that sh*t

So if you gon do it, do it just like this

（Did you realize

Verse 2:]

When it feel like livin s harder than dyin

For me givin up s way harder than tryin

Lauryn Hill say her heart was in Zion

I wish her heart still was in rhymin

Cause who the kids gon listen to? Huh?

I guess me if it isn t you

Last week I paid a visit to the institute

They got the crop out keepin kids in the school

I guess I ll clean up my act like Prince ll do

If not for the pleasure, least for the principle

They got the CD then got to see me drop gems

Like I dropped out of P.E.

They used to feel invisible

Now they know they invincible

Chorus 3: unknown singer & （sample）]

（Did you realize

That you are a champion?

Yeah right）

This is the story of a champion

Rounders in the mob and they pop the guns

Stand up stand up! Here he comes

Tell me what it takes to be number one?

Tell me what it takes to be number one?

This is the story of a champion

Rounders in the mob and they pop the guns

Stand up stand up! Here he comes

Tell me what it takes to be number one?

Tell me what it takes to be number one?
