[Verse 1] I'm alive again More alive than I have ever been And now I'm climbing, climbing To the top to win And nothing's gonna stop, stop Me in the end Victorious [Pre-Chorus 1] And everyday that I awake I say a prayer and I give thanks That I'm alive and I am glad That I've been given one more chance My eyes are open now I see The powers dwelling within me I've done the deeds I've cleared my head Now I am clean back from the dead [Chorus] Whoa! I rise above it all and I'm not coming down Whoa! Because a champion is what they call me now And I'm not backing down I will stand my ground Whoa! Because a champion is what they call me now [Verse 2] Look how far I've come The wars that I have won I think out loud Victorious and proud The years behind The tears I try to hide This pain won't last Time to remove this mask [Pre-Chorus 2] My eyes are open now I see The powers dwelling within me I've done the deeds I've cleared my head Now I am clean back from the dead [Chorus] [Verse 3] Wait stop, stop Hold on, hold on, hold on I got this new head on my shoulders and I'm lookin' for justice So gladly seekin' out b**hes that decided to talk sh** You want conflict? Well I got it and I ain't gonna stop Until I drop or take that motherf**in' place on top Ain't given it back when I take that place As a matter of fact lets cut to the chase Gonna take that spot on top of the list quick! Call it statutory rape You want some beef? Better bring a fork Cause I'm never gonna pa** the torch Gonna keep goin' with the flows exposin' you hoes to show you I'm more important A lil' bit of dirt mixed with the mud a lil' bit of rock mixed with a thug Gotta good heart inside my chest and a lil' bit of gangster in my blood Been to jail I've been to prison went to hell and had a vision Was presented with a decision to change how I was livin' Gotta give it up gotta give it back I've had enough gotta get intact As a matter of fact gotta get these kats in check and stack these f**ing racks Gotta get that cheese gotta get that bread gotta get that dough gotta get ahead Gotta cut no slack to these motherf**in' punks that held me down Back from the dead go [Chorus 2] Whoa! I rise above it all and I'm not coming down Whoa! Because a champion is what they call me Whoa! I rise above it all and I'm not coming down Whoa! Because a champion is what they call me now And I'm not backing down (hey hey hey) I will stand my ground (hey hey hey) Whoa! Because a champion is what they call me Because a champion is what they call me now
