[Verse 1]

I'm alive again

More alive than I have ever been

And now I'm climbing, climbing to the top to win

And nothing's gonna stop, stop me in the end; victorious

[Pre-Chorus]

And every day that I awake

I say a prayer and I give thanks

That I'm alive and I am glad

That I've been given one more chance

My eyes are open, now I see

The powers dwelling within me

I've done the deeds, I've cleared my head

Now I am clean, back from the dead

[Chorus]

Whoa, I rise above it all, and I'm not coming down

Whoa, because a champion is what they call me now

And I'm not backing down, I will stand my ground

Whoa, because a champion is what they call me now

[Verse 2]

Look how far I've come, the wars that I have won

I think out loud, victorious and proud

The years behind, the tears I try to hide

This pain won't last, time to remove this mask

[Pre-Chorus]

My eyes are open now I see

The powers dwelling within me

I've done the deeds, I've cleared my head

Now I am clean, back from the dead

[Chorus]

Whoa, I rise above it all, and I'm not coming down

Whoa, because a champion is what they call me now

And I'm not backing down, I will stand my ground

Whoa, because a champion is what they call me now

[Post-Chorus]

Wait, stop, stop, hold on, hold on, hold on

[Verse 3]

I got this new head on my shoulders, and I'm looking for justice

So gladly seeking out bitches that decided to talk shit

You want conflict? Well, I got it and I ain't gonna stop

Until I drop or take that motherfucking place on top

Ain't given it back when I take that place, as a matter of fact, let's cut to the chase

Gonna take that spot on top of the list quick, call it statutory rape

You want some beef? Better bring a fork 'cause I'm never gonna pass the torch

Gonna keep going with the flows exposing you hoes to show you I'm more important

A little bit of dirt mixed with the mud, a little bit of rock mixed with a thug

Got a good heart inside my chest and a little bit of gangster in my blood

Been to jail, I've been to prison, went to hell and had a vision

Was presented with decision to change how I was living

Gotta give it up, gotta give it back, I've had enough, gotta get intact

As a matter of fact, gotta get these kats in check and stack these fucking racks

Gotta get that cheese, gotta get that bread, gotta get that dough, gotta get ahead

Gotta cut no slack to these motherfucking punks that held me down, back from the dead, go

[Breakdown]

Yeah

[Chorus]

Whoa, I rise above it all, and I'm not coming down

Whoa, because a champion is what they call me

Whoa, I rise above it all, and I'm not coming down

Whoa, because a champion is what they call me now

And I'm not backing down, I will stand my ground

Whoa, because a champion is what they call me, a champion is what they call me now
