[English]

Ain't quittin', I trust my intuition (okay)

Time tickin', but they don't see the vision (okay)

I ain't givin' up, no, I ain't willin' (okay)

I be winnin' like it's an addiction

Head high, run into the sky

I live in the clouds

No lie, look into my eyes

You can't take me out

If I ever, ever fall down one time

I'ma keep goin' on, 'cause I know I'm a champion

And if I take a, take a L, I'll still fight

'Til the bitter end, I'm strong, 'cause I know I'm a champion

Pull up, four in a Sprinter (okay)

We eat losers for dinner (okay)

Hit hard, hard like a heart attack (okay)

Same team, girl, yeah, I got your back

Head high, run into the sky

I live in the clouds (and I'm lookin' over you)

No liе, look into my eyes

You can't take mе out (even if you wanted to)

If I ever, ever fall down one time

I'ma keep goin' on, 'cause I know I'm a champion

And if I take a, take a L, I'll still fight

'Til the bitter end, I'm strong, 'cause I know I'm a champion

...

(Champion)

(I'm a champion)
