[Intro: Female voice]
The one night that we wait for
When it's all put on the line
We all striving to reach the top and be the champion this time

[Chorus: John Alicastro and female voice]
(I'm gonna be a champion)
Yeah I got what it takes, risk it all make my own fate
(Yeah I'm gonna be a champion)
All the glory and the fame just setting in my own plate
(I'm gonna be a champion)
Silhouettes in the spotlight, cash falling from the sky
(Yeah, I'm gonna be a champion)
All it takes is one night for me to turn around my whole life
(My whole life)

[Verse 1: John Alicastro]
You say it's easy coming up and try'na be the best
I'm calling bluff, looking tired man, you need a rest
You trying to graduate ahead of class, cheat the test
Homie I ain't even trying, I just be the best
Championship, rings, yeah I got a few
Gold medal, first place, what I gotta do
Hard work, dedication, never quitting
Now you looking at a champion
[Chorus]

[Outro: Female voice and John Alicastro]
I wanna be a champion, a champion (I'm gonna be a champion)
I wanna be a champion (I'm gonna be a champion) I'm gonna be a champion
(Yeah, I'm gonna be a champion)
