Lyrics
I've paid my dues
I have faced challenges and difficulties
Time after time
Repeated emphasis on enduring difficulties over time
I've done my sentence
I have served my time or faced consequences
But committed no crime
I have not committed any wrongdoing
And bad mistakes
Acknowledging past errors
I've made a few
I've made a few significant mistakes
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face
I've faced ridicule and challenges
But I've come through
I have overcome adversity
(And I need to go on and on, and on, and on)
Repetition of determination to continue
We are the champions, my friends
We, the champions, have succeeded
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end
We will persist and fight until the very end
We are the champions
Reiteration of being champions
We are the champions
Repetition for emphasis
No time for losers
No time for those who don't succeed
'Cause we are the champions
Reaffirmation of being champions of the world
Of the world
Finality in being champions
I've taken my bows
Acknowledging recognition and applause
And my curtain calls
Mentions of successful performances
You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it
Gratitude for fame and fortune
I thank you all
Thanking supporters and contributors
But it's been no bed of roses
Admission that success was not without challenges
No pleasure cruise
Comparing the journey to a difficult voyage
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
Viewing challenges as a test for humanity
And I ain't gonna lose
Determination not to be defeated
(And I need just go on and on, and on, and on)
Repetition of determination to continue
We are the champions, my friends
We, the champions, have succeeded
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end
We will persist and fight until the very end
We are the champions
Reiteration of being champions
We are the champions
Repetition for emphasis
No time for losers
No time for those who don't succeed
'Cause we are the champions
Reaffirmation of being champions of the world
Of the world
Finality in being champions
We are the champions, my friends
We, the champions, have succeeded
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end
We will persist and fight until the very end
Oh, we are the champions
Expression of victory and success
We are the champions
Repetition for emphasis
No time for losers
No time for those who don't succeed
'Cause we are the champions
Reaffirmation of being champions of the world
