The Greatest has gone ~ (For Muhammad Ali)
The Greatest has gone
He went for a round with God
Ali bombaye! I will never forget
The posters in the Indian barbershop
How we all admired and adored you
Looking so smart and invincible
Floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee
“No Vietnamese ever called me a nigger”
How they tried to blackmail you
Rob you from your dignity
The tremendous feeling of pride
That you gave us
