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 bu*terfly
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
Sk** 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!
