My Only Fault Is That I Don't

Float Like A Butterfly, Sting Like A Bee. The Hands Can't Hit What The Eyes Can't See.

Inside Of A Ring Or Out, Ain't Nothing Wrong With Going Down. It's Staying Down That's Wrong.

In Florida I Was Illiterate, Boxing Authority Didn't Want Me, Then They Had A Special Psychiatrist To Come To Kentucky, They Checked And They Didn't Want Me. But As Soon As My Name Was Mohammed Ali, As Soon As I Announced I Was A Muslim, Then All Of A Sudden I Became Smart.

I've Never Let Anyone Talk Me Into Not Believing In Myself

I Am An Ordinary Man Who Worked Hard To Develop The Talent I Was Given.
