Champions


Ask me to glow up

Trying to grow from last week

Just trying to be myself Take the chains up off me

I was just tryna live a life

tryna breathe a fight

I’d like to say I’m out of it but come on let’s see

I might’ve held myself back with the opinions I’d keep

Holdin’ my own

Holdin’ on to the words

Like they set me free

You know me

Tryna stay right and unique

Tryin' to fake like a champion and fight what I see

 

Maaaaan

 

holdin’ my fists up

holdin’ the growth back

Tryin’ to put value on opinions like my facts

Now I found the principle foundation found my way in racin’

Found my real face, with my new phase on the growth track

 

Congratulations on graduation you champion

You taking life by the tuffs taking the real thing

And now I’m risin, all aligned in

Out old phases, in new races I’m all in

 

Congratulations to me pullin’ the growth alive, no lie, might’ve felt their words playing the choke card

But I flipped up my own guard

Opinions won’t hold me

You asked how I grew, I say I grew in ME real hard
