(Champion, champion)

Yo, should I be a star? baby, I think I already, yo
Not a saint, not that great, feel like I was born in a car
In ninety-four, the world started me and I've been driving
Sometimes a man just can't open his car, and
Ain't gotta be somebody, be anybody
Rather be anybody than live in a dead body
If you can't see me then find a helicopter
In the night sky, shine like a star

And I'm back with a madness
I'm a champion of the people who don't believe in champions
I got nothing but dreams inside
I got nothing but dreams

I'm just young enough to still believe, still believe
But young enough not to know what to believe in
Young enough not to know what to believe in

If I can live through this
If I can live through this
If I can live through this
I can do anything
If I can live through this
If I can live through this
If I can live through this
I can do anything

Champion, champion
Champion, champion

I got rage every day, on the inside
The only thing I do is sit around and kill time
I'm trying to blow out the pilot light, I'm trying to blow out the light

I'm just young enough to still believe, still believe
But young enough not to know what to believe in
Young enough not to know what to believe

If I can live through this
If I can live through this
If I can live through this
I can do anything
If I can live through this
If I can live through this
If I can live through this
I can do anything

Have you ever felt how hard it is to be anybody?
To be living, to be breathing, not choosing a dead body
Remember, the man told me that this life is a party
Yeah, all the glory's so short, you should put away the garbages
Normal ain't normal, ordinary is a luxury
People say "woo, pessimism" what the other mean?
If you wanna understand, you stand under
This shit is vital, respect to the mothers and fathers
What's wrong with the life of a passenger
If somebody gotta lead, then I'mma be the messenger
I'm just too young, don't know what to believe in
But too young, you know, not to be living
I will stay, I will wait and I'll fall like a king
Even though I can forever ever be a king
I will marry this goddamn world, by my own
And put myself a goddamn ring

If I can live through this
If I can live through this
If I can live through this
I can do anything
I can do anything I can do anything, anything, yeah
If I can live through this
If I can live through, live through this

If I can live through this (if I can live through this)
If I can live through this (if I can live through)
If I can live through this (if I can live through this)
I can do anything (if I can live through this)
I can do anything (If I can live through this)
I can do anything (If I can live through this) 
I can do anything 

Champion, champion
