Faithless- Muhammad Ali Lyrics

Faithless- Muhammad Ali Lyrics

"If all you keep hearing it so long you will see me as a passing star and you`ll have time to blow with your minions and things"

I see your side in presence of me, still grainy
From that old black`n'white TV
My whole family silent,
Watchin` you shape destiny witcha two hands
Faster than the eye could see_

Mesmerising

Y`Know what?

Skinny lickle me, started to strut.
Ten days old, suddenly bold,
`Cos I resolved to be like my champion in the ring_
Be smart, never have an inch, no retreating
An I racked up, respect from teachers, rednecks
And creatures who approach in a mob like insects.
Never, seen the like, not before or since,
A new prince an I remain convinced of his invincibility,
Athletic agility, virility, still a liberal spirit.
Forever through eternity, stingin` like a bee_
Muhammad Ali.

I wish you to know
Your are the o-riginal
I wish you to know
Your are the o-riginal
I wish you to know
Your are the o-riginal

Your achievements defy belief,
From the abdomen of the beast
Risin` like yeast yo, my backup from low self-esteem
Came when I saw you rappin` on my TV screen, float.
Like a romance that account my walk to school.
After fight night, I felt so cool
Cos` I was the greatest too.
Love of self born only out of passion for you
An I knew someday people`ll love me too
None of the hecklin about my dark skin got through.
I woulda walked barefoot through hell for you
It`s how I felt back then an I even do so will you
Accept these modest words of praise.
And my gratitude for those glorious days
And meritorious ways instilled in a youthful mind
Skills sublime,
Yours to mine.

I wish you to know
Your are the o-riginal
I wish you to know
Your are the o-riginal
I wish you to know
Your are the o-riginal

[Faithless- Muhammad Ali Lyrics]
