Lyrics
0:00If all you keep hearing it so long
0:01You will see me as a super star
0:03And you'll have time to waste
0:04With your minions and things
0:43I see your face in front of me still grainy
0:46From that old black and white TV
0:48My whole family silenced
0:49Watchin' you shape destiny with your two hands
0:52Faster than the eye could see
0:55Mesmerising
0:58You know what skinny little me started to strut
1:01Ten years old suddenly bold
1:02'Cause I resolved to live like my hero in the ring
1:05Be smart never give an inch no retreating
1:08And I racked up respect from teachers rednecks
1:10And creatures who attack in a pack like insects
1:13Never seen the like not before or since
1:15A young prince
1:16And I remain convinced of his invincibility
1:19Athletic agility virility still a free spirit
1:22Forever through eternity stingin' like a bee
1:25Mr Muhammad Ali
1:33I want you to know
1:38You are the original
1:42I want you to know
1:47You are the original
1:52I want you to know
1:57You are the original
2:02Your achievements defy belief
2:04From the belly of the beast
2:05Risin' like yeast yo my release from low self-esteem
2:09Came when I saw you rappin' on my TV screen
2:11Float like a butterfly that describe my walk to school
2:14After fight night I felt so cool
2:16'Cause I was the greatest too
2:18Love of self born simply out of love for you
2:20And I knew someday people'll love me too
2:23None of the hecklin' about my black skin got throug
2:25I would walked barefoot through Hell for you
2:28It's how I felt back then
2:29An' I still do so will you
2:31Accept these humble words of praise
2:33And my gratitude for those glorious days
2:35And meritorious ways instilled in a young mind
2:38Skills sublime yours to mine
2:40I want you to know
2:45You are the original
