(Yo, Uh) Oh
(Talk to me) You know you looking at a winner
(Haha uh, yeah)
(Lemme get it right here first)

I'm wakin'
Up in the morning
Hustlin' to the stage, if I been performin'
Bustin' in through the hay and bustin' the door in
Wakin' up the misses of my seven story
Speakin' of the misses
I'm watchin', I'm pourin'
Just like a drink that I'm enjoyin'
And don't mean bottles you up and rejoice
Just look at me soarin'
Feelin' like Jordan

(Aaah Ah) Hold up I ain't finished yet
On top but you just don't get it yet
I don't get cut
I make 'em cut the check
Can't hear me in the stands
Lemme say it again
(Aaah Ah) You ain't heard I'm the shit
On top but you just don't get it yet
I never got cut but I make 'em cut the check
So hate on but guess what

I feel like I can't miss
I know they want me to fall
But ain't nothing bigger than this
So just pass me the ball
You know you looking at a winner
I can't miss, Can't lose, Can't miss
You know you looking at winner
'Cause I'm a winner
Yeah I'm a winner

I'm stepping out in the evening
Keep women in screams
You gotta be cheatin'
But I'm so pleased
I make this look easy
And ya'll thinking I'm seasoned
You gotta believe me
I went from TV's
To Screens and DVD's
To CD's,
To MP3's Overseas
I got no time
The talking is boring
Just look at me soaring
Feeling like Jordan

(Aaah Ah) Hold up I ain't finished yet
On top but you just don't get it yet
I never got cut
I make 'em cut the check
Can't hear me in the stands
Lemme say it again
(Aaah Ah) You ain't heard I'm the shit
On top but you just don't get it yet
I never got cut but I make 'em cut the check
So hate on but guess what

I feel like I can't miss
I know they want me to fall
But ain't nothing bigger than this
So just pass me the ball
You know you looking at a winner
I can't miss, Can't lose, Can't miss
You know you looking at winner
`Cause I'm a winner
Yeah I'm a winner

I feel like I can't miss
I know they want me to fall
But ain't nothing bigger than this
So just pass me the ball
You know you looking at a winner
I can't miss, Can't lose, Can't miss
You know you looking at winner
`Cause I'm a winner
Yeah I'm a winner
