This is quite an interesting song, with much more depth than the average pop record. I'm not any dedicated fan of Chipmunk but I heard this song on the radio today and thought it was pretty good.
The first verse is encouraging people to be confident and achieve the best they can. 'the hunger in your tummy' is probably a metaphor for the desire to succeed. He reminds us that 'not everybody gets a second chance at getting money' though--it's a lot harder for some people than others.
Verse 2 is about the difficulty of doing this--'It's only you believing in you'. With 'they turn you into a bastard the moment you rude' he's saying how the slightest error can mess up your chances. Verse 3 is saying you'll have to pull through things yourself, since 'No-one wants to help'. You have to develop a thick skin, and remember 'Opinions ain't fact'.
So basically the lyrics try and inspire you to achieve your dreams but acknowledge that it's not easy.
However, in the chorus it's stated 'Some people but not me, I was born a champion', which seems to imply that the singer feels like he's had an easy rise to fame, and not had to get through much challenges on the way. This is another reminder (like the lines at the end of the 1st and 2nd verses) that there is inequality; some people will find it harder to achieve than others.
