[The 2016 NBA's Finals anthem]

Success in life it comes when you simply refuse to give up!
On a mission so strong that the obstacles like failure are lost,
Only active motivation, I mean like no one has the power to shadow your dreams
Unless you were selling me to stop
I'd never do that in the name of love
Until I've given in my all, it just ain't enough
See, even if it's getting real and they say it was straighten up
Who's afraid to work, play and get involved?
No, you weren't caught to your better off
24/7, 365 never off, look at me, I'm nocturnal, I don't sleep
My eyes heavy bags, and closed feet, but I won't be stopped
I go from tragedy to majesty,
The victory has been woven into my tapestry
My adversary does not come from the same flag as me
That's why the champion is gonna be who has to be
This ain't the type of opportunity to disappear,
I've made it here because I shed blood, sweat and tears
Forget the title, I'll forever have my sight soar
This is where I've become an American icon

Yey, if you're a Champion, show me you're a Champion
If you're a Champion, show me you're a Champion
'Cause we are champions, move like champions
And real Champions prove that they're Champions
If you're a Champion, show me you're a Champion
'Cause we are champions, move like champions
And real Champions prove that they're Champions

Listen, forward motion never fail
I learn to hustle, it's part of a cautionary tail
Hard work is something I know very well
A lesson in a blessing out of each and every L, I ball
I ball, I fell in love with the game and never look back
My foundation and frame, they never shook that
Been trailblazing my name into the book that
Represent all the champs who had a chance and took that
And laser focus in the reoccurring theme
Forever coming to me like a reoccurring dream
If we weren't kings, we'd probably be swimming up stream
Tryna make the devil come clean for the umpteenth
You know me as the global dean from the noble team
So convene and the whole regime shall be overseen
I'm a pillar like a column in the Pantheon
Competition I can't see 'em, I'm champion

Yey, if you're a Champion, show me you're a Champion
If you're a Champion, show me you're a Champion
'Cause we are champions, move like champions
And real Champions prove that they're Champions
If you're a Champion, show me you're a Champion
'Cause we are champions, move like champions
And real Champions prove that they're Champions

I'm gon' prove that I'm the champion
And if there's something I can't do, then it can't be done
And I ain't saying I don't lose, I'm saying I'm the only one
And if it's either I or you, you best believe there's only gon' be one
True Champion!

(x2)
If you're a Champion, show me you're a Champion
If you're a Champion, show me you're a Champion
'Cause we are champions, move like champions
And real Champions prove that they're Champions
If you're a Champion, show me you're a Champion
'Cause we are champions, move like champions
And real Champions prove that they're Champions
