Champz – Champion Sound Lyrics

Champion sound
No worry, we dey for you 100

Real niggas know issa champion sound
No intro this time around
It’s straight to the business
I hate cutting through the corners
Look at the phone and it’s mumsy calling me

She knows I’m a champion
There’s smoke on the mountain
Try enjoy 1da Banton
Shout out to the OGs in the game
But it’s time to pass on the baton to the champion

I’m gonna mash up the scene, bare anthems
It’s Champz widda Z, in the cut
And you know what’s happening
I got zero competition, not cause I’m good
Cause I’m not competing oh
If you wanna hate
Hate, that’s your cup of joe
It’s 2Am and I’m glued to my notes
And I don’t act cocky, there’s a long way to go
There’s a long way to go

Issa champion beat and I’m throwing a tantrum
Very soon, I’m gonna buy my champion mansion
Built for a bad man
They try compare all talk no action
They talk on the net and expect a reaction (no)
I can never break my code
To address allegation not my boat
I was born for the mic if you know then you know

Real niggas know issa champion sound
No intro this time around
It’s straight to the business
I hate cutting through the corners
Look at the phone and it’s mumsy calling me

She knows I’m a champion
There’s smoke on the mountain
Try enjoy 1da Banton
Shout out to the OGs in the game
But it’s time to pass on the baton to the champion

I’m gonna mash up the scene, bare anthems
It’s Champz widda Z, in the cut
And you know what’s happening
I got zero competition, not cause I’m good
Cause I’m not competing, oh

In what fans are calling a “Starboy prophecy come true,” it looks like Wizkid’s first son, Boluwatife Balogun, is officially following in his father’s legendary footsteps, and the internet can’t stop talking about it.

Nearly a decade ago, Wizkid playfully predicted during an interview that his son might one day venture into music. With a laugh, he said,

“If my son ends up being an artist, that’s more money for me. I’ll just sign him to Starboy. Me and my son turn up.”

That offhand comment now seems prophetic. A new video making rounds on social media shows Tife Balogun in a recording studio, confidently wearing headphones and laying down vocals for what fans believe could be his debut single.
