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
<Interlude>
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 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 minds,
Skill sublime yours to mine!
I want to know who you are!
cked down
and they put you first in line
And so you finally ask yourself
just how big you are
and take your place in a wiser
world of bigger motor cars
<Intelrude>
So Where the hell was Biggles
when you needed him
last Saturday
And where were all the sportsmen
who always pulled you though
They're all resting down
in Cornwall
writing up their memoirs
for a paper-back edition
of the Boy Scout Manual
See there! A man born
