Heart Of A Champion lyrics - Nelly (feat. Lincoln University Vocal Ensemble)

[Nelly exercising and breathing hard]

[Nelly]

C'mon, uhh, uhh

I guess he's back 'urr derrty, S-T-L derby

I'm like Magic to Kareem, man you tell me I ain't Worthy

I ain't speaking 'bout a jersey, I'm speaking 'bout income

DID YOU HEAR THAT ELIZABETH? HERE COME THE BIG ONE!

I put mo' money in the community than you got in yo' budget

I wipe my ass with yo' advance to the toilet then flush it

My last stance be a stance of a General Custard

I hot dog cause I can, I got the cheese and mustard

I got the stats of a hall of famer - in just two records

That's why I'm back up at the Superbowl - with Julius Peppers

I got that can't stop, won't stop, in my veins

That's why they can't stop, won't stop, screaming the name

NELLY! NELLY! Go tell a friend to tell a friend

I'ma keep the same grin whether I, lose or win

Up, or down ten, I'ma fight to the end

[breathing hard] Let's go

[Chorus: L.U.V.E.]

Ain't no way they can stop me now Nelly

Cause I'm on my way, I can feel my ring coming

It's the blood of a champion, pumping

Deep inside my veins, too much pride to be running

I'ma get what I can and more, even if

My blood, my sweat, and my tears don't mean nothing

It's the heart of a champion (it's the heart of me)

(It's the heart of a..) in me

[Nelly]

I'm the first pick, the first round, signing bonus profound

Playing for his hometown, rapping for the home ground

And getting buffer like Michael Redd, tell 'em again

I gets buffer like Michael Redd, heard what I said?

The MV-P of the game, intensity still the same

I'm shooting out from my reign, with Peyton Manning type aim

Can't stop me from scoring so they result to just hacking

So there's, three of us now - me, A.I. and Shaq'n

From the look to the as I say

Hover man with more heart than Hallmark on Valentine's Day

I'm the one that you've been Raven about, like Ray Lewis

I think it hard to go and change your route

Cause you don't know if I'm blitzing or if I'm sitting and reading

Waiting for you to go and trip, drop back and throw up a brick, man

AIN'T NO WAY THEY CAN - NO, AIN'T NO WAY THEY CAN - NO

AIN'T NO WAY THEY CAN - NO, AIN'T NO WAY THEY CAN - NO

[Chorus]

[Nelly]

It's like a big time decision made on how I can twurk it

If hard work pays off then easy work is worthless

My work habit ain't no habit man, I do it on purpose

I push myself to the limit so my talent'll surface

So now it's, curtains and drapes, on anybody who hates

Disliking what I'm reciting, biting what I've been writing

I've been dogfighting, scratching and clawing on every height

Trying to make you remember me like you +Remember the Titans+

Cause I'm a WARR-IOR, my daddy was a soldier

A Vietnam vet, lil' derrty I thought I told ya

I'm supposed to, whip up your town in Testarossas

Heating like Folgers mayne, I'm young black and rich

As good as it gets, and giving your point guard fits

He think he done seen pressure mayne, but he ain't seen shhhh...

AIN'T NO WAY THEY CAN - NO, AIN'T NO WAY THEY CAN - NO

AIN'T NO WAY THEY CAN - NO, AIN'T NO WAY THEY CAN - NO

[Chorus - repeat 2X]
