1:22:00
# Once the pen hits the pad
it's danger

1:22:02
# To this I'll be no stranger
1:22:03
# Step inside the ring
and I'll derange you

1:22:05
# I'm hearing no comments
everyone looks despondent

1:22:08
# Dejected, rejected
similar to Liston catching licks

1:22:11
# Beat it, Sonny, my man
is still the greatest in history

1:22:13
# To hell with Frazier,
yapping about that negative shit

1:22:16
# Now, listen, you can try
and escape if you want to

1:22:19
# But ask yourself
who the hell you gonna run to?

1:22:22
# Like Sade Abu
you got a punch that I can sleep to

1:22:24
# Fugees, Tribe, Busta Rhymes
forever coming through

1:22:27
# You sing Amazing Grace
over two dollar plates

1:22:29
# One roll, snake-eyes,
like Jake the Snake

1:22:32
# Many lies, put up for stakes,
wash our sins at the Great Lakes

1:22:35
# You and I cannot see eye-to-eye
so therefore we can't relate

1:22:38
# I'm here
when I make myself crystal clear

1:22:40
# You fled to Cape Fear
when I aced you up in Zaire

1:22:43
# Tussle with a lasso
in the Royal Rumble

1:22:45
# Separate boys from men
in the concrete jungle

1:22:48
# I remember when Cassius Clay
flipped the script

1:22:50
# Taking trips to Zimbabwe
1:22:52
# Africans started calling the God
Ali, boma ye!

1:22:55
# It be the God stricken,
God nutrition, lightly stricken

1:22:58
# Blow that make you feel
like you was poison bitten

1:23:00
# Ha! Yo, I'm 'bout to blister
you and your sister

1:23:02
# Predicting every ass whipping
before my fights, my nigga

1:23:05
# This be your last warning
once you walk past the doorman

1:23:08
# Ali and Foreman gonna lock ass
until the morning

1:23:11
# Marvellous finances
provided by Joseph Mobutu

1:23:14
# Special guests of honour
like the Archbishop Desmond Tutu

1:23:17
# We watched the Rumble In The Jungle
1:23:19
# To see who be the targeted uncle
to be the first to fall and fumble

1:23:21
# Nuff blows they getting thrown
like solid milestones

1:23:24
# Internally shaking up niggas
imbalance your chromosomes

1:23:27
# With the force
of a thousand warriors

1:23:29
# When I bust your ass
identify me as the lord victorious

1:23:31
# Blocks on fire
1:23:33
# Flames getting higher
1:23:36
# Robbing blue collar
1:23:39
# Killing for a dollar
1:23:41
# Youths get tired
1:23:44
# We're dealing with them liars
1:23:47
# From Brooklyn to Zaire
1:23:49
# We need a ghetto Messiah #
