"Heart of a Champion"
Written by Cornell Haynes, Jr. and John Tesh
Well guess who'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 speakin' 'bout a jersey. I'm speakin' 'bout income.
Did you hear that Elizabeth? Here come the big one.
I put more money in the community than you got in your budget.
I wipe my ass with your advance, to the toilet then flush it.
My last stance be a stance of a General Custer.
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 screamin' the name.
Nelly! Nelly! Go tell a friend to tell a friend.
I'm a keep the same grin whether I lose or win.
Up or down ten, I'm a fight to the end.
Uh, uh, uh, uh, let's go.

Ain't no way they can stop me now, Nelly.
'Cause I'm on my way. I can feel my ring comin'.
It's the blood of a champion pumpin' deep inside my veins.
Too much pride to be runnin'.
I'm a get what I can and more even if my blood, my sweat 
and my tears don't mean nothin'.
It's the heart of a champion in me.

I'm the first pick, first round, signin' bonus profound.
Playin' for his hometown. Reppin' for the home crowd.
And gettin' buffer like Michael Riggs. Tell 'em again.
I gets buffer like Michael Riggs. Hear what I say.
The MVP of the game, intensity still the same.
I'm shootin' out from my reign with Peyton Manning type aim.
Can't stop me from scorin' so they results are just hackin'.
So there's three of us now, me, A.I. and Shaq'n.
From the look to the eyes I say.
Hover man with more heart than Hallmark on Valentine's Day.
I'm the one that you been ravin' about, like Ray Lewis.
I think it hard to go and change your route.
'Cause you don't know if I'm blitzin' or if I'm sittin' and readin'.
Waitin' for you to go and trip, drop back and throw up a brick man.

Ain't no way they can blow. Ain't no way they can blow.
Ain't no way they can blow. Ain't no way they can blow.

Ain't no way they can stop me now, Nelly.
'Cause I'm on my way. I can feel my ring comin'.
It's the blood of a champion pumpin' deep inside my veins.
Too much pride to be runnin'.
I'm a get what I can and more even if my blood, my sweat 
and my tears don't mean nothin'.
It's the heart of a champion in me.

It's like a big time decision made on high if it's worth 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.
Dislikin' what I'm recitin', bitin' what I been writin'.
I been dogfightin', scratchin' and clawin' on ev'ry height.
Tryin' to make you remember me like you remember the Titans.
'Cause I'm a warrior, my daddy was a soldier.
A Vietnam vet, lil' derrty I thought I told ya.
I'm supposed ta whip up your town in Testarossas.
Heatin' like Folgers mayne, I'm young, black and rich.
As good as it gets and givin' your point guard fits.
He think he done seen pressure mayne but he ain't seen shhhhh...

Ain't no way they can blow. Ain't no way they can blow.
Ain't no way they can blow. Ain't no way they can blow.

Ain't no way they can stop me now, Nelly.
'Cause I'm on my way. I can feel my ring comin'.
It's the blood of a champion pumpin' deep inside my veins.
Too much pride to be runnin'.
I'm a get what I can and more even if my blood, my sweat 
and my tears don't mean nothin'.
It's the heart of a champion in me.

Ain't no way they can stop me now, Nelly.
'Cause I'm on my way. I can feel my ring comin'.
It's the blood of a champion pumpin' deep inside my veins.
Too much pride to be runnin'.
I'm a get what I can and more even if my blood, my sweat 
and my tears don't mean nothin'.
It's the heart of a champion in me.
