Muhammad Ali
Some joker just stole my wheels
Went to the law and said, 'What's the deal?'
Cop said, 'Do you know how to box?'
I heard the bell and now I'm stepping out
I paint the canvas, man, I stroke 'em out
Undefeated, young, beautiful and bold
At home in Rome, you know I rolled with gold
Tussle with Liston, Frazier, Foreman
Even whupped the USA
You know my name, what's my name?
I got back and I hit the street
I got met by men in sheets
Just like a racist society delivers
I slung my country's medal in the river
I changed my name cos that's who I be
Reflect the radical Muslim in me
I'm not Uncle Sam's gravedigger
No Viet-Cong ever called me nigger
Tussle with Liston, Frazier, Foreman
Even whupped the USA
You know my name, what's my name?
I won the fight for the right to fight
Like Tommie Smith, I was always right
I can't be what you want me to be
King and I and X were not born to bleed
Muhammad Ali
Muhammad Ali
Muhammad Ali
Muhammad Ali
