Am       Em
  Some people have to learn
G        D                 C
  Some people wait there turn
Am       Em
  Some people have to fight
G        D                 
  Some people give it up

VERSE I:

 Am                    Em
  They wanna hold you back, tell 'em pee off
  Whenever they say you can't, take the t off
  I remember when they told me I couldn't be famous
  Now my dream and reality is simultaneous
 Am                Em
  And work your own way to the top
  If they put you on a pedestal they can take you off
  And there's a higher level than the top
  You gotta make more, don't do with what you got
 Am         Em
  Yeah, so get it in go sunny
  Not everybody gets a second chance at getting money
  Or even getting lucky so you gotta feel
  The hunger in your tummy

PD-C HORUS:

Am         Em
  I'm always pushing myself to the limit
  Making sure I stay ahead
G        D                              C
  You made me who I am, from the words you said

CHORUS:

Am       Em
  Some people have to learn
  Some people wait there turn
G        D                 
  Some people but not me
                    C
  I was born a champion
Am       Em
  Some people have to fight
  Some people give their lives
G        D      
  Some people don't believe
                    C
  I was born a champion
Em           D          C
  But I was born a champion
Em           D          C
  But I was born a champion

VERSE II:

 Am               Em
  This gon' be the realist shit I ever wrote
  Off the records, no cameras, forget a quote
  Some of my family doing good, most doing dope
  I'm from Virginia where they hang them niggas by a rope
 Am              Em
  I used to see my momma getting beat down
  Is that the real definition of me now?
  I fell off, back on my feet now
  Heading to the sky, can't even see down
Am          Em
  Award shows, I pour my heart out
  And people still study, tryna point my flaws out
  And I be lying if I say it ain't get to me
  But I'm a champion, legend, history

PD-C HORUS:

Am         Em
  I'm always pushing myself to the limit
  Making sure I stay ahead
G        D                              C
  You made me who I am, from the words you said

CHORUS:

Am       Em
  Some people have to learn
  Some people wait there turn
G        D                 
  Some people but not me
                    C
  I was born a champion
Am       Em
  Some people have to fight
  Some people give their lives
G        D      
  Some people don't believe
                    C
  I was born a champion
Em           D          C
  But I was born a champion
Em           D          C
  But I was born a champion

VERSE III:

 Am                         Em
  Okay, no one wants to help, I guess you're on your own
  Build the foundation with the bricks they've thrown
G                            D   
  In a black and white world, true colors show
  Change if you want, everybody grows
 Am                      Em
  And life's like an ill, but try an' get a hold
  Opinions ain't facts take 'em in an' let 'em go
 G           D                              Em
  You made me who I am from the words you said

CHORUS:

Am       Em
  Some people have to learn
  Some people wait there turn
G        D                 
  Some people but not me
                    C
  I was born a champion
Am       Em
  Some people have to fight
  Some people give their lives
G        D      
  Some people don't believe
                    C
  I was born a champion
Em           D          C
  But I was born a champion
Em           D          C
  But I was born a champion
