Faithless - Muhammad Ali lyrics

[Faithless - Muhammad Ali lyrics]

"Is all ya keep hearin' it
So long you no see me a superstar
Man, I don' have time to was'e
With your minions an' ting'"

I see your face in front of me, still grainy
From that old black'n'white TV
My whole family silent
Watchin' you shape destiny with your 2 hands
Faster than the eye can see mesmerizing
Y'know what? Skinny lickle me
Started to strut, ten 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 wrapped up respect from teachers
Rednecks 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 muhammad Ali

I want you to know you are the original
I want you to know you are the original
I want you to know you are the original
I want you to know you are the original

Your achievements defy belief
From the belly of the beast
Risin' like yeast yo
My release from low self-esteem
Came when I saw you rappin' on my TV screen
Float like a butterfly that describe
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
An I knew someday people'll love me too
None of the hecklin' about my
Black skin got through
I woulda walked barefoot through hell for you
It's how I felt back then an
I still do so will you
Accept these humble words of praise
And my gratitude for those glorious days
And meritorious ways instilled in
A young mind skills sublime
Yours to mine

I want you to know you are the original
I want you to know you are the original
I want you to know you are the original
I want you to know you are the original
