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 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! |
