Lyrics
Intro:
Ladies and gentlemen
welcome to the biggest fight of the century
in the left corner, the Rat Race
and in the right corner, the one, the only, JRLOU
V1.
Oh no time to get up
Monday morning six o'clock
I wake up and I'm yawning
work is calling
I've got to get up, stand up, Rise up, jump up
out of my bed
get ready for the day
time to shower, time to shave
And I brush fast my teeth fast
eat fast my breakfast
drink fast my juice fast
pack fast my lunch
And I run through the door
run across the street
with my iPod listening to sweet reggae beats
Jump on the bus everybody fuss in a rush
everybody's rushing to get no where
And I sit by the window
look at the highway
watching the cars
they are bumper to bumper
I think I'm inspired
to write another song today
Chorus:
Cause I am a champion
I am a champion
Yes I'm a champion
I know I will survive
And I know I'll survive
today
yes I will survive
I'm a champion, Champion, Champion!
V2.
Verse two here's what I'm going to do
I'm going to fight the system like Bruce Lee, kung fu
you think you've beat me but I come back at you
Like Jean Claude Van Damme, I will drop kick you
like Muhammad Ali, like a bee I sting you
like rocky I box you
like Bob Marley
I get up stand up for my right
I stay up all night till daylight
and I write another hit
go to the studio and record it
and the remixer remixes it
at the post office I post it
Send it to the label
they did not listen to it
they write me back and tell me some sh..
they tell me my demo is unsolicited
But I know I'm not going to quit
Chorus:
Cause I am a champion
I am a champion
Yes I'm a champion
I know I will survive
And I know I'll survive
today
yes I will survive
I'm a champion, Champion, Champion!
(guitar Solo)
I know I will survive
And I know I'll survive
today
yes I will survive
I'm a champion, Champion, Champion!
End.
