Faithless - Muhammad Ali lyrics

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 little 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 retreat when I'm wrapped up

Respect from teachers, Red Necks

And creatures who attack in a pack

Like incensed 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 for every through eternity stings

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,

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 at place 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 minds,

Skill 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
