What's My Name Muhammad Ali
What's my name
(Muhammad Ali)

I chose my own name and became a legend;
I refused to play your game and you tried to break me;
You lost because I rose and became the greatest;
I am a hero to the world - made it better regardless.
What's my name? Can you say it?
What's my name? I am the greatest!
What's my name? Don't have to fake it!
What's my name? I am the favourite!
I float like a butterfly and sting like a bee;
I am a boxer and a poet -
I am the best a man can be!
I am a leader, I keep rising;
I am courage and integrity surviving;
I am the hope of future leaders and
Create a legacy of believers.
What's my name? Can you say it?
What's my name? I am the greatest!
What's my name? Don't have to fake it!
What's my name? I am the favourite!
I am the best of my sport,
The greatest comeback, proven worth;
I chose to be Muhammad Ali,
Avoided war and political evil;
I became a legend in my time,
Stand up for family and home, what's mine;
No matter what, they'll remember me,
For my courage helped set men free.
What's my name? Can you say it?
What's my name? I am the greatest!
What's my name? Don't have to fake it!
What's my name? I am the favourite!
Don't count the days, make the days count -
One of my mottos that I spoke about;
Philanthropist and courageous warrior,
Civil rights and all freedom honoured;
I embraced all that I could be and
Lived a life as a man so free;
Moved mountains politically and
Left a legacy that's pure and real.
What's my name? Can you say it?
What's my name? I am the greatest!
What's my name? Don't have to fake it!
What's my name? I am the favourite!
