Champion (2016 Nba Finals Theme Song) Lyrics - The Roots

Success in life it comes when 

you simply refuse to give up! 

On a mission so strong 

that the obstacles like failure are lost, 

Only active motivation, 

I mean like 

no one has the power to shadow your dreams 

Unless you were selling me to stop 

I'd never do that in the name of love 

Until I've given in my all, it just ain't enough 

See, even if it's getting real and they say it was straighten up 

Who's afraid to work, play and get involved? 

No, you weren't caught to your better off 

24/7, 365 never off, 

look at me, I'm nocturnal, I don't sleep 

My eyes heavy bags, and closed feet, 

but I won't be stopped 

I go from tragedy to majesty, 

The victory has been woven into my tapestry 

My adversary does not come from the same flag as me 

That's why the champion is gonna be who has to be 

This ain't the type of opportunity to disappear, 

I've made it here because I shed blood, sweat and tears 

Forget the title, I'll forever have my sight soar 

This is where I've become an American icon

Yey, if you're a Champion, show me you're a Champion 

If you're a Champion, show me you're a Champion 

'Cause we are champions, move like champions 

And real Champions prove that they're Champions 

If you're a Champion, show me you're a Champion 

'Cause we are champions, move like champions 

And real Champions prove that they're Champions 

Listen, forward motion never fail 

I learn to hustle, it's part of a cautionary tail 

Hard work is something I know very well 

A lesson in a blessing out of each and every L, I ball 

I ball, i fell in love with the game and never look back 

My foundation and frame, they never shook that 

Been trailblazing my name into the book that 

Represent all the champs who had a chance and took that 

And laser focus in the reoccurring theme 

Forever coming to me like a reoccurring dream 

If we weren't kings, we'd probably be swimming up stream 

Tryna make the devil come clean for the umpteenth 

You know me as the global dean from the noble team 

So convene and the whole regime shall be overseen 

I'm a pillar like a column in the Pantheon 

Competition I can't see 'em, I'm champion

If you're a Champion, show me you're a Champion 

'Cause we are champions, move like champions 

And real Champions prove that they're Champions 

I'm gonna prove that I'm a Champion 

And if there's something I can do 

Then it can't be done 

And I ain't saying I don't lose, 

I'm saying I'm the only one 

And if it's either I or you, 

you best believe there's only gon' be one..
