muhammad anwar (mo) - chanthem lyrics
[intro: muhammad ali]
this i predict and i know the score
i’ll be champ of the world in ’64
when i say three, they’ll go in the third
so don’t bet against me, i’m a man of my word
[verse 1: mo]
i’m tryna get the papers, tryna get the acres
up my game till i ball with the lakers
for the fan, for the haters and the fakers
for the city, for the cynic and the critique
twenty two, twenty fours, rolling with the metaphors
never gonna stop, never trip, never gonna fall
headed to the top, way up to the pinnacle
paaaaaaaaaaaaaaause!!!
no time for that, i just spit the bars
just pick the pen, then i write the verse
change gears never hit reverse
go big bang, universe
hit that peak ‘fore the clock go
tick-tick-click mind go-go-going crazy
eyelids be drooping lazy… h-ll nah
stay on my toes like a ballerina
eyes on the game like ref collina
hitting every note from the minim to the quavers
can’t afford to stutter, i can’t afford to waver
doubts come slow creeping in
confidence steady getting lean
i just go, i just go…
to the front to the top
to the front to the top go
giddiyap giddiyap
giddiyap giddiyap go
to the front to the top
to the front to the top go
giddiyap giddiyap
giddiyap giddiyap go
[hook: mo]
until my flows so dope i’m dropping escobars
until my flow so cold they call me eskimo
until my flows so dope i’m dropping escobars
until my flow so cold they call me eskimo
until my flows so dope i’m dropping escobars
until my flow so cold they call me eskimo
until my flows so dope i’m dropping escobars
until my flow so cold they call me eskimo
[interlude: muhammad ali]
this brash young boxer is something to see
and the heavyweight championship is his destiny
this kid fights great, he’s got speed and endurance
but if you sign to fight him, increase your insurance
this kid’s got a left, this kid’s got a right
if he hits you once, the ref counts ten
you’ll pray that you won’t have to fight me again
for i am the man this poem’s about
the next champ of the world, there isn’t a doubt
[verse 2: mo]
i’m tryna go gold, tryna go platinum
hit number one starting with the chanthem
i see it so clear in my cranium
visions of me in the stadiums
people screaming out when we hit the encore
ship set sail but still i feel the anchor
deep down deep down i feel it
deep down deep down i’m screaming
am i gon get there?, can i even get there?
giddiyap, giddiyap, get back on track
double up double up
‘nough with the cr-p
top keeps getting farther though
next step getting harder bro
next line so elusive yo!
i’d better get a 9 – 5
take me back to ’95
daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn!!!
winners don’t quit and quitters don’t win i know
the darkest hour’s before the dawn i know that winners don’t quit
and quitters don’t win i know
the darkest hour’s before the dawn i know
to the front to the top
to the front to the top go
giddiyap, giddiyap
giddiyap giddiyap go
