I Outwit Them, And Then I Outhit

The World’s Champ Should Be Pretty Like Me!

I Came Back To Louisville After The Olympics With My Shiny Gold Medal. Went Into A Luncheonette Where Black Folks Couldn't Eat. Thought I'd Put Them On The Spot. I Sat Down And Asked For A Meal. The Olympic Champion Wearing His Gold Medal. They Said, "we Don't Serve Niggers Here." I Said, "that's Okay, I Don't Eat 'em." But They Put Me Out In The Street. So I Went Down To The River, The Ohio River, And Threw My Gold Medal In It.

You Got Black People In An All-white Country And They Don't Know Nothing About Themselves.

I Say Get An Education. Become An Electrician, A Mechanic, A Doctor, A Lawyer, Anything But A Fighter. In This Trade, It's The Managers That Make The Money And Last The Longest.

Whatever The Challenge Was, However Unattainable The Goal May Have Seemed, I Never Let Anyone Talk Me Out Of Believing In Myself.
