I've seen the crowd, they all wanna be great
But when it comes to the ring, they can't carry the weight
They talk a big game, but they ain't got the speed
They try to float like a butterfly, but they can't lead
I've got the fire, got the moves, got the fight
In a world full of shadows, I'm the only light
You can train all day, you can fight all night
But there's only one name that's reaching new heights
There's many like me, but there's only one Ali
The greatest of all time, can't you see
They try to step up, try to take the crown
But when it's all said and done, I'm the one who's renowned
They try to jab, try to dance on their feet
But they can't keep up, can't handle the heat
I've seen them come, and I've seen them go
But there's only one king of the ring, and you know
I float like a butterfly, sting like a bee
They can talk all they want, but they ain't me
In the mirror, they see what they wanna be
But in reality, there's only one Ali
There's many like me, but there's only one Ali
The greatest of all time, can't you see
They try to step up, try to take the crown
But when it's all said and done, I'm the one who's renowned
You can mimic my style, you can copy my flow
But you can't touch the legacy, the world knows
I'm the champ, I'm the legend, I'm the truth
In a sea of contenders, I'm the living proof
There's many like me, but there's only one Ali
The greatest of all time, can't you see
They try to step up, try to take the crown
But when it's all said and done, I'm the one who's renowned
So step in the ring, give it your best shot
But remember, there's only one who's got what I got
I'm the champ, the legend, the one you can't be
In a world full of fighters, there's only one Ali
