In the Studio w/ a Champion

Studio time!

Last week I started writing the words and melody for a song called “Champion” over an instrumental Silver Roland (executive producer for this "Do You Believe" album) had sent me. We collaborated and co-wrote over my initial rough draft and boom goes the dynamite… I was in the studio this week laying it all down.

“Champion” is about wanting it all! Wanting to be number one, to be on top… to being the CHAMPION over your own life! Fortune favours the bold, not the modest or the uncertain. I spend enough time second-guessing and doubting myself as an artist that I wanted to go in the complete other direction with this song.

So with that, I pretended to be someone else as we came up with some of these words. Someone without fear or doubts about the future. Someone who not only expects challenges and obstacles along the way, they INVITE them, knowing they can conquer them all. This someone doesn’t just want to better… they want to be the BEST!

One can dream, right? ;-)

I only want the best
Cuz in my life I want it all
I don't take nothing less
That's the past tense
I'm moving forward

So not impressed
With the way they tell me I should be
I know what I need

I just gotta be the champion
The number one
Til I'm on top
I'm never ever gon' stop

I just gotta be the champion

The only one
Sittin on top
'cuz I just wanna be
I only wanna be
I just gotta be the

Girl... To be the one who rules my world... Won't be long before I see
See... My dreams become reality oh

I don't need to plead or wish
I won't stop, I persist
To do what I came to do

Ain't nothin' to it

Just watch me get down to it
I'm bout to turn these dreams
To possibilities
