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 two hands Faster than the eye can see, mesmerizing You know what? Skinny little me started to struggle Ten years old, suddenly bold 'Cause I resolved to live like my hero in the ring Be smart never give an inch No retreat until when I'm wrapped up Respect from teachers, Red Necks And creatures who attack in a pack Like insects, never seen the light, not before or since a young prince And I remain convinced of his invincibility, athletic agility, virility Seen your free spirit forever through eternity Stings like a bee, Mr.Mohammed Ali I want you to know you're the original I want you to know you're the original I want you to know you're the original Your achievements defy belief from the belly of the beast Rising like yeast, 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 myself, born slippy, outta love for you And I knew that someday people would love me too None of that heckling about my black skin got through I would walk bare foot through hell for you It was how I felt back then I would still do for you So accept these humble words of praise And my gratitude for those glorious days And your victorious ways, instilled in the young mind Skill, sublime yours to mine I want you to know you're the original I want you to know you're the original I want you to know you're the original I want you to know you're the original I, I, I I want you to know you're the original I want you to know you're the original I want you to know you're the original I want you to know you're the original © CHAMPION MANAGEMENT AND MUSIC LTD; WARNER-TAMERLANE PUBLISHING CORP; BMG MUSIC PUBLISHING LTD; WARNER/CHAPPELL MUSIC LTD; Bu döküman AkorMerkezi.com'da yayınlanmıştır. http://www.akormerkezi.com
