[Sample from Muhammad Ali (2001)]:
Ali:
I ain't draft dodging
I ain't burning no flag
And I ain't running to Canada
I'm staying right here
You want to send me to jail?
Fine, you go right ahead
I've been in jail for 400 years
I could be there for 4 or 5 more...
If I want to die, I'll die right here, right now, fightin' you
If I want to die
You my enemy...
You my opposer when I want freedom
You my opposer when I want justice
You my opposer when I want equality
Want me to go somewhere and fight for you?
You won't even stand up for me right here in America
For my rights and my religious beliefs
You won't even stand up for me right here at home
[Verse:]
Feeling like Ali against the ropes
Everytime Foreman takes a swing
I’m just waiting for my moment till then I bob and weave
I'm Just a block from the assassination of Martin Luther King
Playin' me against the world with my Carbon 15
Back when Puff told me to vote or die
I was weighing up with a hang man
I was sacking up like a corner store
And I was counting up like rain man
Been there not going back no matter what
Laugh it up same nigga turn their back on us
Keep crawling back trying to patch it up
So far gone, no forgiveness no guilt
Not a single regret, and all I miss is Lil Milt, ok
Back against the ropes here’s my time to Rope-a-dope
Just when they thought I wasn't going to make it out
I just went for what I know
Had to wait a year to get free and clear
There ain't no string on me
It ain't nothing left they could do to me
I paid my dues and gratuity
I can't lie I’m so true to this
That the label ain't know to do with it
So I’m setting up to take another shot
I just bought the SK a cooling kit
