Memoirs of a Champ
I'm a serial demonstrater who puts thoughts onto paper
Holds them till they're ready then forgets them all later
The enthralled vigorater, thats what I am & in time
I'll clap my old opposition in the Cassius victim line
Who doesn't fit the design?

Henry Cooper
An englishman I think!?! Among journeyman investors
"He hit me so hard, he went & hit my ancestors"
A soft speaking guy who wanted to catapult through me
But I recovered from the canvas & strived to victory
.
George-My Rumble in the Jungle
Hazy mist surrounded, I could smell an upset with a stench
Vital signs were bewildered from the heat being intense
& Foreman came immense, hardest battle in my life
Every punch that connected comes as vivid with a knife
But I embraced the strife, Noone could deny the latest
As my arm was finally raised I became the worlds greatest
.
Joe-Thriller in Manilla
I remember..
This was our third battle while Joe wanted back his pride
He tried to cover my jab but he knew it wouldn't hide
As I fainted to the side I took out the fight from Frazier
I just divorced a boxer who was known as the engager
We were no strangers, I think you know what I mean
It was finally settled when he backed down in round fifteen
.
My Beautiful Daughter
No matter how my mind is or how I lack memory retrieval
I will always protect my baby from all that is evil
She is my all, my world, and she even followed in my shoes
Even if she failed in this sport in my eyes she'll never lose
& I will never refuse, to let her speak and do her own thing
So when I leave this earth, we'll eventually meet in the ring
.
Memories may be distant...
...but are far from being lost

Cassius Clay a.k.a Muhammed Ali
