[Intro: Swizz Beatz]

Ladies and gentlemen!

The champ is here!

The champ is here!

The champ is here!

Get your motherfucking hands in the air!

The champ is here!

The champ is here!

The champ is here!

You can hate me, I don't care!


[Verse: R. Kelly]

All y'all wanna powl on me, make it hard for me to breathe

Throw sand in my eyes, make it hard for me to see

Out of breath, can't see, still hard to defeat

The history that I made, impossible to impeach

First round, spread rumors, point fingers, throw stones, judge me

Hate me, love me, hug me, curse me

Whatever, 'cause y'all fucking opinions don't feed me

I'm clever, enough to know that the industry needs me

Second round, I'm opposite of the demon that faces me

I've been through hell lived in the belly of the beast

I've confessed my sins but still didn't find peace, but

Like MJ in five, I will six-peat

Third round, I make music from the hood 'cause that's where I'm from

That's why the hood is always first to help me overcome

Fifth round, when I'm down, some of y'all cats act so strange

When I'm up, same cats wonder why I act so strange

Sixth round, Kells done changed, please you bitches is so lame

Something ain't your fault and y'all so quick to blame

That's why I got number one in the back of my Range

Y'all cats is foreplaying, I'm pregnant by the game

Seventh round, some would like to see balled and chained

But I'm a child of God so my destiny is all day

Eighth round, undisputed is the title I claim

'Bout to shoot the world up with this lyrical cocaine

Ninth round, the place is packed

The bell rings I'm about to bring the pain

Left jab, right hook, shutting down your brain

Tenth round, I could be surrounded by lions in the mist of the jungle

And still I'ma rumble your many rumble, eleventh round


[Outro: Swizz Beatz]

Ladies and gentlemen!

The champ is here!

The champ is here!

The champ is here!

Get your motherfucking hands in the air

The champ is here!

The champ is here!

The champ is here!

You can hate me, I don't care
