Muhammad Ali |
| If all you keep hearing it so long you will see me as a super |
| Star and you’ll have time to waste with your minions and tink |
| I see your face in front of me |
| Still grainy from that old black and white TV |
| My whole family silenced |
| Watching you shape destiny with your 2 hands |
| Faster than the eye can see… |
| Mesmerizing |
| You know what skinny lickle me started to struggle |
| 10 years old suddenly bold |
| Cause I resolved to live like my hero in the ring… |
| Be smart never give an inch, No retreating |
| An I racked up respect from teachers, Red Necks |
| And creatures who attack in a pack like insects |
| Never seen the like not before or |
| Since, a young prince |
| An I remain convinced of his invincibility |
| Athletic agility, virility |
| Still a free spirit, forever through eternity |
| Stingin' like a bee… |
| Mr Muhammed Ali |
| I want to know who you are! |
| I want to know who you are! |
| I want to know who you are! |
| Your achievements defy belief from the belly of the beast Rising like yeast |
| Yo, My release from low self esteem |
| Came when I saw you rapping on my TV screen |
| Float like a butterfly |
| That describes my walk to school after fight night |
| I felt so cool cause I was the greatest too |
| Love of self born simply out of love for you |
| And I knew that someday people would love me too |
| None of that hecklin' about my black skin got through |
| I would walk barefoot through hell for you |
| It’s how I felt back then an still do, so will you |
| Accept these humble words of praise |
| And my gratitude for those glorious days |
| And meritorious ways instilled in the a young mind |
| Skill sublime |
| Yours to mine! |
| I want to know who you are! |
| I want to know who you are! |
| I want to know who you are! |
