"The Peoples Champ"

[Paul Wall]
 Paul Wall, I'm the People's Champ
 It ain't easy bein the People's Champ
 It's the new me, new me, new me, new me...
 True, a lot of struggles I done been through and still goin through
 Let me show you what it's like to be me (Paul Wall, Paul Wall baby)


I'm not your average guy, I'm more than meets the eye
 I know I'm friendly and fly, but let me tell you why
 I was abandoned at an early age
 My daddy was a dopefiend, I ain't seen him since the second grade
 I sing the same song, deadbeat dad, single mom
 I was always in the crawl, yet and still I was alone
 I kept my faith in God, even in my younger days
 I gave my life to Christ, got down on my knees and prayed
 And God answered our prayers and momma remarried
 All the burdens she carried, I must admit that it was scary
 Somehow I got a real man as my father figure
 Thangs started gettin better for my momma and my sister
 Pain took me from a boy to a man
 I knew I'd make it to the end if I could stick to the plan
 People judge me off my music but they never even met me
 But I'd introduce myself if you'd let me - Paul Wall baby


[Chorus: Paul Wall]
 See I've been doin this here for a while
 Eventually y'all boys gon' respect me dawg
 I'm Paul Wall - until it's over I'ma ball 'til I fall
 I'm the greatest in a minute ch'all
 Let me tell you if you knew me (knew me) yeah the true me (true me)
 Not the glamour and glitz that y'all do see (do see)
 I'm just a regular G, I gotta do me (do me)
 I'm 'bout to introduce y'all boys to the new me, c'mon


[Paul Wall]
 It's more to me than all this glamour and glitz
 I spent my whole life broke, I'm just tryin to get rich
 I kept it real all my life, I never stepped on toes
 But somehow my friends keep turnin into my foes
 My ex keep callin me, but I don't wanna talk to her
 So then she call the laws on me like I'm the one stalkin her
 My new girl say I don't love her enough
 But all the hatin friends jealous cause I love her too much
 I'm drinkin bottles of Patron tryin to drink away my troubles
 But bein an alcoholic only make thangs double
 People judge me off my music but they never even met me
 But I'd introduce myself if you'd let me - Paul Wall baby


[Chorus]


[Paul Wall]
 You think you know me mayne? But you don't know me mayne
 Just because you shake my hand don't mean that you my homey mayne
 It's people prayin on my downfall
 And I can't understand why, cause I show love to alla y'all
 People are grateful for the favors you show 'em
 But when they need you for another one they still act like you owe 'em
 Everybody be takin credit for somethin they ain't do
 But you need to quit reachin and stand on your own two
 I always stayed humble, I never once changed
 I never got a ego or a big head cause of fame
 People judge me off my music but they never even met me
 But I'd introduce myself if you'd let me - Paul Wall baby


[Chorus]


[Paul Wall]
 I'm Paul Wall, I'm the People's Champ
 But it ain't easy bein me
 I done put in my fair share of work, blood, sweat, and tears, f'real...
 Passin out flowers at the club
 Doin freestyles that don't go on mixtapes
 I ain't understand it then but, now I understand it
 It's a bigger picture than just what you think
 You gotta think outside the box and try to make it
 It's chess moves, not checkers baby
