The Unauthorized Biography of Muhammad Ali
Lyrics:
Born Cassius Clay Jr.
January 17th in 42
Louisville Kentucky he grew up
A little boy doing what a little boy do
Til somebody stole his bike
Swearing up and down they would pay the price
A police officer overheard
Laughed at the child and gave advice
Told him to take that rage to fight
Come to my gym and train to fight
Little did he know that would change his life
Make him a star, put his name in lights
As an amateur he would bandage up
anyone he faced
due to his tutelage
even then you knew the kid
was destined to be great
golden child
8 golden gloves, on the road to Olympic gold in Rome
Everything he dreamed
Got his ticket then his feet got cold
Praying in the aisles on the way to the fight
He made it
And in that 1960 Olympics victory
He declared himself the greatest
Critics watched and frowned at his boxing style
Said he couldnt keep his guard up
He went pro and they still couldnt knock him down
Hands low, damn he could dance though
Made em look too stiff to box
A punch too quick to clock
You get hit before you get from tic to toc
And by 64 he was giving knockout predictions
What round they would hit the floor
Ridiculing his opposition
Dismissed as the Louisville Lip
Outspoken but never out boxed
Liston finally gave in
And Clay got his first title shot
He even put out an album
Threw a few Sonny poems together
And called it I am the Greatest
Some say the 1st battle raps ever
He said hed knock him out in 8
But nobody believed, nobody listened
Till the headlines came
Cassius Clay beats Sonny Liston
And after that huge upset he upset the world
When he announced he was a member of the nation of Islam
He lashed back like What was it I did wrong? Huh?
And in the fashion of Malcolm X
For whom he had profound respect
From his slave name he said Im free
And he became young Muhammad Ali
Then the love for him got out weighted by outrage
And fear of his new devout faith
To an organization perceived as only being about hate
Then he refused the draft, denounced the war
On the grounds of religious beliefs, then they hated him more
They told him go to jail or go to Vietnam
Then they took his title and his boxing license
So he took it to court and fought 3 years long
Now somewhere in that time America realized the war was wrong
And he went from traitor to hero
And in a year or so he was coming back strong
Moving with such grace and ease
Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee
Hand cant hit what your eyes cant see
Then came the fight of the century
Ali. Joe Frasier
As far as match ups there were no greater
1st professional loss, but he would beat him in a rematch later
But by the n Frasier lost the belt
To a man by the name of George Foreman
Much stronger and younger than Ali
Still he said Im in if youre in
Then came the Rumble in the Jungle
Promoted by Don King
In 74 they went to Zaire
He got out the plane like What do I hear?
They were saying Ali Buma Ye Ali Buma Ye
It was much more than some ego stroke
He knew he gave the poor people hope
Against the odds, toe to toe
Swarming crowds overflow
But no matter how hard he fought
They said Foreman would never be stopped
But instead of going blow for blow
He let him go for broke
Punch himself out
Later they would call it the rope-a-dope
And in the 8th round everything turned around
Ali springs from the ropes swinging fearlessly and Foreman goes down
And the whole crowd erupts in amazement when he cant beat the count
And a new King is crowned
Fighting for the poor and oppressed
His victory made history
But it was more than just being the best
It was character, it was charisma
Being someone that cares for us
He redefined the word CHAMPION
To a category that the rest cant be in
[talking]
The unauthorized biography of Muhammad Ali
Epilogue
The next seven years of his legendary boxing career were not without its price
And in the early 80s he would go on to develop Parkinsons disease
Presumably due to all of the punishment he had endured
But that didnt stop Ali from what he called his true life calling
In humanitarian endeavours
Travelling around the world as the goodwill ambassador to us all
The end
Next up Martin Luther King, Jr. and Barack Obama

Lyrics:
November 27th, 1942
Seattle, Washinton - Johnny Allen Hendrix was due
His mama named him
But at 17 just a little schoolgirl
Instead of raise him
She dumped him on whoever she could
Till his father came home, he was away at war
Renamed him James Marshall Hendrix
When he walked in that door
Growin up was so rough
They were livin so poor
There were times when he would starve
Mama drank too much and it finally caught up
And at 15 she was gone
And around that time's when he got his first guitar
Bought by his father for five dollars,
And little did they know it birthed a star
He would turn the radio on and he would play along
That's how he learned his chops
Then an electric guitar finally came along
A right handed supro ozark
A gift from his father, but the dope part
Is he was left handed so he electrified crowds
When he got onstage and played it upside down
Got in trouble with the law, stole a car, got cuffed
They said u can either join the army or get locked up
Came back a year later - honorable discharge
Went legit and hit the chitlin circuit hard
Little Richard, James brown
He was touring with the stars
Playing da background with his upside down guitar
But in 65 things would soon change
When he formed his own band
Jimmy James And The Blue Flames
See as a sideman he was too constrained
But as the frontman he could do his thing
And then performin at some hole in the wall club
Greenwich Village, New York
The young brother was discovered
By Chas Chandler from the animals
Told him ill make u famous in london baby vámonos
So he gave him a new name and a new band
And said London
Here he is The Jimi Hendrix Experience
And the british pop scene went delirious
Hey Joe, Purple Haze,
Who'd a thought he'd start a craze
Innovating on the stage
Changing the way guitars were played
But he didn't break America until he did The Monterey
Pop Festival
Where Jimi ended his set by settin his guitar aflame
And a star was made
A rock archetype,
Phychadellic voodoo child
Marcian-like
So outta this world he was larger than life
And they couldn't believe that
He would take something as undesirable as feedback
Use it like its music and fuse it into this new sound
Fuzz pedals, wah wahs, he was breaking new grounds
And it was cosmic the way it caused this epiphany
Of all the electric guitar's possibilities,
And it happened so fast
3 landmark albums in a year and a half
But then things would go differently
Pressure and the drug abuse
Would break the whole band up bitterly
But even with all the misery
Summer of 69,
He performed at woodstock and made history
And like that he was immortalized
And no one would achieve more in such short a time
An icon in the hippie movement
A half Black, part Cherokee kid that couldn't read music
Still he was onstage wit his Stratocaster
Fearless individuality - no master
But his mastery put him on top of the globe
A year later he was dead - rock n roll
