West, Kanye - Champion Lyrics
[chorus:]
(Did you realize
That you were a champion?
In their eyes)
Yes I did, so I packed it up and brought it back to the crib
Everybody want it but it ain't that serious
That's that shit
So if you're gonna do it, do it just like this
(Did you realize
That you were a champion?
In their eyes)
You don't see just how wild the crowd is?
You don't see just how fly my style is?
I don't see why I need a stylist
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 your eyelids"
We was sort of 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 with a new wardrobe and hey!
[chorus]
When it feel like living'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 gonna listen to? Huh?
I guess me if it isn't you
Last week I paid a visit to the institute
They got the Drop 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
(Did you realize
That you were a champion?
In their eyes)
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?
[chorus]

steely dan sample
It's like "dead right" when the singer repeats "their eye".
Been banging this all day
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The sample is from Steely Dan - Kid Charlemagne in case you don't know.
Dori Husi rocks!
Did you realize
That you were a champion in their eyes?
Yes I did, so I packed it up and brought it back to the crib
Just a little somethin', show you how we live
Everybody want it but it ain't that serious
Mmm hmm, that's that shit
So if you gon' do it, do it just like this
Did you realize
That you were a champion in their eyes?
You don't see just how wild the crowd is?
You don't see just how fly my style is?
I don't see why I need a stylist
When I shop so much I can speak Italian
I don't know I just want it better for my kids
And I ain't sayin' we was from the projects
But every time I wanted, layaway or a deposit
My daddy'd say "When you see clothes close your eyelids"
We was sort of like Will Smith and his son
In the movie I ain't talkin' 'bout the rich ones
'Cause every summer he'd get some
Brand new hare-brained scheme to get rich from
And I don't know what he did for dough
But he'd send me back to school wit' a new wardrobe and hey! hey! hey! hey!
Did you realize
That you were a champion in their eyes?
I think he did, when he packed it up and brought it back to the crib
Just a little somethin' show you how we lived
Everything I wanted man it seemed so serious
Mmm hmm, that's that shit
So if you gon' do it, do it just like this
Did you realize
That you were a champion in their eyes?
When it feel like livin's harder than dyin'
For me givin' up's way harder than tryin'
Lauryn Hill said 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

They used to feel invisible
Now they know they invincible hey! hey! hey!

This was the real kanye
This and The college dropout are some of the best albums ever released
Steely Dan >>>>>>>>>>>> Kanye West
Song came out before I was born I think 2006 but dang still coming back to play it
Kanye's production is the best thing to ever happen in HipHop
Everytime i listen to this album im in a good mood
"Now who the kids gon listen to? I guess it's me if it isn't you".
I listened to this after I finished my last university exam, I always remember that moment with this song
This man was way ahead of his time
I will always love this album..as soon as I graduate I am playing this loud in my new car...with a poster that says ''just graduated!!.''
The most underrated Kanye album as people always put it 3or 4 it’s my favourite Kanye album
when I shock so much you could speak Italian
This is a major classic Everytime you hear of Kanye you better know he a ledgend even if he do dumb stuff
Kanye is a joke, hasn't any creativity, uses other music icons have created because he is incapable of writing his own lyrics.
Imagine being this wrong.
This song goes hard
Why did I never know about this song
This should be in 2K
tell me what it takes to be number 1...
Their eyes, Their eyes, Their eyes, Their eyes, Their eyes.... Did you realize that you are a champion in their eyes....
SUCH A FUCKING SAMPLE
Entering university next year. This album really motivates me.
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 serious
Mm hm, that's that ****
So if you gon' do it, do it just like this
(Did you realize, that you were a champion in their eyes?)
You don't see just how wild the crowd is?
You don't see just how fly my style is?
