(feat. Jazmine Sullivan & Rick Ross)




Ace Hoooood!



[Jazmine Sullivan:]

People said I wouldn't make it (make it)

That I'd never get to the top

There was nothing they could say that would make me stop

So I had to keep pushing (pushing)

Through the pain and the tears

All the things I've been through is why I'm standing here



That's why they can't tell me nothing (nothing)

They can't tell me nothing (nothing)

They was wrong, this the song of a champion (champion)

That's why they can't tell me nothing (oh nothing)

They can't tell me nothing (oh nothing)

Let me see your hands up if you a champion



[Verse 1: Ace Hood]

Coming up I use to watch TV

Look up at the screen

Then look at my mama

Tell her ma that's gon' be me

She said son you gon' be great

I knew it from the start

Your daddy was a poet

That's how he captured my heart

It's in my blood, you ask me why I keep it real

Like [? ] asking how a nigga feel

Imagine how it feels

Waking up to nothing is enough to give you chills

Waking up to nothing is enough to make you kill

Enough to bring your daughter on a heist, it's unreal

You said you gotta song living life unreal

That's why I put my life in every song I kill

Sing it girl



[Chorus:]

That's why they can't tell me nothing (oh nothing)

They can't tell me nothing (oh nothing)

They was wrong, this the song of a champion (champion)

That's why they can't tell me nothing (oh nothing)

They can't tell me nothing (oh nothing)

Let me see your hands up if you a champion



[Verse 2: Ace Hood]

I had a job too niggas, so what?

You haters make me laugh, how you hatin so much

Go head and do the math

Watch the numbers add up

Picture me and Khaled rollin to the grammys smashed up

Keep running to The Runners when it's time to make a (beat)

I'm gunning at you suckas who ain't try'na feel this sh**

My ambitons as a rider blastin' out a niggas whip

Throwing up a peace sign to all my hustlas on the strip

Top down in the chevy yea you know I keep it pimpin

And my pistol heavy niggas know that ain't slippin

Know that I'm on the grind niggas know that ain't slippin'

My faith is on the line so you know I ain't slippin'

You trippin' and that's why



[Chorus:]

That's why they can't tell me nothing (nothing)

They can't tell me nothing (nothing)

They was wrong this the song of a champion (champion)

That's why they can't tell me nothing (oh nothing)

They can't tell me nothing (oh nothing)

Let me see your hands up if you a champion



(Let's break it down for em...)

Ladies put your hands up high

(Came too far now to give up)

We gotta keep reaching for the sky

(It don't even matter say what you want)

Fellas put your hands up in the sky

(Nothing you could say that'll make me stop)

We gotta keep reaching for the sky

(I'm a keep going till I reach the top, and that's why)



[Rick Ross:]

Definitely livin' the life

I gravitated to the light

I sacrIficed a decade

Now it's times every night

Let them suckas' spectate

'Cause shorty I expect that

We still touching big weight

And surely I invest that

Break it down the best way

'Cause I know how to stretch that

Haters talking sideways

And I could never stress that

Ready for the war though

I would never compromise

Mami call me Gordo

You shine like summer time



[Chorus: x2]

That's why they can't tell me nothing (nothing)

They can't tell me nothing (nothing)

They was wrong this the song of a champion

(I'm a champion and that's why)

That's why they can't tell me nothing (oh nothing)

They can't tell me nothing (oh nothing)

Let me see your hands up if you a champion



People said I wouldn't make it (make it)

That I'd never get to the top

There was nothing they could say that would make me stop

So I had to keep pushing (pushing)

Through the pain and the tears

All the things I've been through is why I'm standing here
