Boatskii - The Champion Lyrics

I'm gon' fight, every night
In the ring or on the road
I'm gon' rise, to the skies
You don't know where I'm coming from
Break me down, to the ground
Rising up from the ashes
Ain't no knock out, till we clock out
Gonna fight like I'm a savage

They don't call me "The Bull" for no reason
Buildin' up from the bottom to the top, it's full season
No treason ain't the reason that I fell from my crown
But what's a crown? Just some metal that you carry around
You think I frown? But I got a queen that's married me now
And six times who I thought I was, they starin' me down
Weighin' me down, some would say but they makin' me proud
I met they momma in a car park, she wavin' me down

Ain't no thugs with a glock gonna hold me away
From running back to the car park, and findin' a way
To get a message to her tellin' her "Call you when I can,
I got robbed, don't have a phone, but I'll see you again"
And we flyin', away, far away, from this place
To the city of lights, gonna make, it rain
This city made of dreams and entertainment and shows
And God blessed us with the angel we made 18 years ago

I'm gon' fight, every night
In the ring or on the road
I'm gon' rise, to the skies
You don't know where I'm coming from
Break me down, to the ground
Rising up from the ashes
Ain't no knock out, till we clock out
Gonna fight like I'm a savage
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa

Drivin' late at night, this mountainous road
It reminds me of my life when I was young and alone
And so cold, the fam' thought I was gon' be dead at 16
With no dreams, 37 now and I still achieve
I believed, pushed and screamed until I got in that ring
I took out all the disappoints put it into one thing
I had bling, riches, money but the evil ones came
Started threatening my life and taking all that I made

Now it's calm and it's quiet on the I70
Flying solo makin' that dough for my family and me
Keep on grindin' just to keep the roof on over our heads
It sure as hell beats out the projects where they thought I was dead
Livin' my life, day to day, so afraid
In a car, all alone, gotta break away
Fought for my whole life so it made some kind of sense
To take up fighting in the ring, knew I was gon' be the best

I'm gon' fight, every night
In the ring or on the road
I'm gon' rise, to the skies
You don't know where I'm coming from
Break me down, to the ground
Rising up from the ashes
Ain't no knock out, till we clock out
Gonna fight like I'm a savage
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa
