Did you realize That you were a champion in their eyes? Yes I did, so I packed it up and brought it back to the crib Just a lil' somethin' show ya how we live Everybody want it but it ain't that serious Mm hmm, that's that shit So if you gon' do it, do it just like this Did you realize That you were a champion in their eyes? You 'on't see just how wild the crowd is? You 'on't see just how fly my style is? I don't see why I need a stylist When I shop so much I can speak Italian I don't know I just want it better for my kids And I ain't sayin' we was from the projects But every time I wanted, layaway or a deposit My daddy'd say "When you see clothes, close your eyelids" We was sorta like Will Smith and his son In the movie, I ain't talkin' 'bout the rich ones 'Cause every summer he'd get some Brand new hare-brained scheme to get rich from And I don't know what he did for dough But he'd send me back to school wit' a new wardrobe and ayy Did you realize (ayy, ayy) That you were a champion in their eyes?

They used to feel invisible Now they know they invincible Did you realize (ayy, ayy) That you were a champion in their eyes?
