The song "Champions" by Genetikk is about the journey of the artists Karuzo and Sikk, also known as Genetikk, in the music industry. They reflect on their rise to success despite facing obstacles and doubters along the way. The lyrics start with Karuzo questioning if they have reached their destination, but even if they haven't, he still enjoys where they are. He recalls how people said they would never succeed, but they proved them wrong as they achieved success in the form of Grammys and continued to make a significant impact. They talk about their earlier days when they were underground artists, not receiving much support or recognition. They contrast this with other artists from their neighborhood who were involved in drugs and partying. Karuzo talks about his addiction to the lifestyle of late nights and partying, suggesting that his dedication and passion were part of his addiction. Sikk da Kid's contribution to their success is highlighted as he helped Karuzo with beats, lyrics, and motivation. The outcome of their collaboration resulted in them becoming pioneers in the rap scene, while mocking those who only care about money and business. The chorus emphasizes their confidence and ownership of their success. They proclaim that they are part of a gang, dominating the world without competition. They mention their past struggle with poverty and having next to nothing, but now they consider themselves champions. In the second verse, Karuzo humorously describes his birth, saying that his mom knew it wouldn't be easy raising him. He also jokingly mentions his coolness and talent for rapping from an early age. They continue to assert their status as the coolest in the neighborhood, in school, on the streets, and in the music charts. They acknowledge their rising fame and hint at their previous drug use, implying that they were already "high" before their success. The lyrics play with wordplay and riddles, showcasing their cleverness. They mention their self-made journey, breaking records, and their willingness to battle anyone, even on short notice. Sikk is referred to as Karuzo's brother from another mother, and they promise to achieve even greater success. They question their own authenticity as backpack or street rappers, but ultimately decide that it doesn't matter as they excel in both worlds. They request space for Sikk to showcase his talent as a DJ, and Karuzo confidently states that he will burn and surpass other music labels when given a microphone. Overall, "Champions" speaks to Genetikk's rise to fame, their determination to succeed regardless of adversity, and their pride in their achievements.
