Jamila Woods - I Was A Rock (Muhammad Ali ESPYs Tribute) lyrics

[Intro: Kid and Muhammad Ali] Kid: "I'd like to know what you're going to do when you retire from boxing?" Ali: "I really don't know, I want to say something right here this might make you all think. When I get out of Boxing or when I'm through, I want to do all I can to help people. What's the best thing I can do? Get ready to meet God." [Verse 1: Chance the Rapper] Back in time I lost track of time Rolling on the road Christmas Eves and Valentines Seemed like the days before I came I went I did well I did I really meant well But I almost missed my beat So thank you for saving me a seat [Bridge: Chance the Rapper] I swear ain't no where greater Ain't no where brighter Ain't no where better, better, better, better Ain't no one prettier Ain't no one wiser Ain't no where better, better [Muhammad Ali] God is watching me God don't praise me because I beat Joe Frazier God don't give nothing about Joe Frazier God don't care nothing about England or America As far as wealth It's all his He wants to know how do we treat each other How do we help each other [Chorus: Chance the Rapper + Choir] I was a rock I was a rock and roller Back in my day (Back in my day) But now I'm just a rock (I was a rock) I was a rock and roller Back in my day (Back in my day) But now I'm just a rock I was a rock [Verse 2: Chance the Rapper] Steady hold I've grown weary and old We're as close as we'll ever be I was gone I had places to be And of course you're in the last place I look [Bridge: Chance the Rapper] I swear ain't no where greater Ain't no where brighter Ain't no where better, better, better, better Ain't no one prettier Ain't no one wiser Ain't no one better, better [Pre-Chorus: Chance the Rapper] And I'm still standing here Standing still I won't be moved How used to do when [Chorus: Chance the Rapper + Choir] I was a rock I was a rock and roller Back in my day (Back in my day) But now I'm just a rock (I was a rock) I was a rock I was a rock and roller Back in my day (Back in my day) But now I'm just a rock I was a rock (I was a rock) I was a rock and roller Back in my day (Back in my day) But now I'm just a rock (I was a rock) I was a rock and roller Back in my day (Back in my day) But now I'm just a rock I was a rock
