Tell me when I change, girl, but only when I change 'cause I live this sh** for real, n***as know me in the game, they know! Making hits in three acre cribs Cooking up tryna eat n***as, steak and ribs I made a couple stars outta basic chicks Nowadays blow the candles out, don't even make a wish Having good times, making good money Lot of bad b**hes, but they good to me I make them do the splits for a rap Wish you n***as good luck, trynna get where I'm at Straight like that [Hook] It's a celebration (Put one in the air for the ghetto, ooh) It's times like these (Ooh, ooh) They know who we are by now (They know who we are) Champion, the champions (Champion, champion) [Verse 3: Young Jeezy] Straight balling in this b**h, Jeremy Lin; 'Melo Tell me one thing you won't do: settle Give me one word for your chain: yellow Pocket full of money, black cars; ghetto Critics say I ain't in the game, A.I Jeezy, how you deal with the fame? Stay high Stay putting on for the town, may I? What you call a crib in the sky? Play-high Over a mil in three weeks, yeah I did it like a champ Momma taught me pride, yeah she did it with the stamps Wait a minute, everybody pause for the photo Somebody tell these local hating n***as, I'm global Tell me what I gotta do to get this champagne going What I gotta do to get this coconut flowing? Don't let me hear Shawn Carter, I'm the ballest of the ace Let me hit up Sean Combs, money cases in my place, let's celebrate [Hook] It's a celebration (Put one in the air for the ghetto, ooh) It's times like these (Ooh, ooh) They know who we are by now (They know who we are) Champion, the champions (Champion, champion) [Verse 4: Nas] What up, Nicki? It's Nasty, yeah I saw my first two million dollars, I was 23 I'm barely a man, yet, I had some k**ers under me This ain't rated PG, this rated PJ 'cause that's where a n***a from; murder on replay My 24th b-day, I'm sailing to Bermy, you can see me on a yacht Blasting Pac, little knot, I ain't greedy I'm back to thugging, b**hes Back to making them kiss other b**hes My man sister like me, I don't f** my brother sister I just aspire your desire to be different My ten year old plan is just one year to finish My list looks like this, first thing that you'll discover The difference in p**y: white, black, Latin and other Here's a man who clearly isn't basic Waiting list, just to hear me or witness the greatness Loud laughter, while writing my next chapter: Fast Cash Life Happily ever after Champions [Hook] It's a celebration (Put one in the air for the ghetto, ooh) It's times like these (Ooh, ooh) They know who we are by now (They know who we are) Champion, the champions (Champion, champion)
