Cassius (Excellency) lyrics

[Intro: Muhammad Ali]
(Incredible) Fast!
(Incredible)
And you, George Foreman
All of you chumps are gonna bow when I whoop him
All of ya!
I know you got him, I know you got him picked
But the man's in trouble
I'ma show YOU how GREAT I AM!

[Verse 1]
Hold up! Black excellence, I be rappin' it differently, uh
Tell Howard Cosell I’m Howard Hughes with this rapping thing? (uh)
Underrated from Chocolate City with all the flavor
My b*tches ball like I'm Q. McCall, they Sanaa Lathan
Black excellence, we depart from the negative, boy
Black denim that keep a knot like a pessimist, boy
Black n*ggas hate black n*ggas, that's evident so
Keep black windows with masked n*ggas that never miss, boy
Charles Manson to celebrate it, somebody save us
Dr. Sebi was really curing what people gave us
I'm a beacon of what you become if you got passion
I feel like Ali, but feel like I be with all the cash is
Never could reach the masses
Label said I'm too deep and I told them people that's frownin'
Blacks executed for movin' around
And maybe I think too deep, but I think it be for this brown skin
Pro-black isn't anti-white
But how we act like we don't see no tiki torches at night, ya dig?
Pro-black isn't anti-white
But if a Nazi try me, catch these Ali hands on sight, ya dig? Dig
[Interlude: Jimmy Jacobs]
He's young, he's handsome. He's a poet, a prophet
And many people believe he'll be the next heavyweight champion of the world

[Verse 2]
Uh, yeah, boy
Yeah, black excellence, a young perfectionist
White America's fear is intelligent men with melanin
Uh, rap effortless, son of African immigrants
Every baguete is packed like I'm 'bout to "psh, psh" with anyone
You a field n*gga, posing as real n*gga
An Uncle Tom that can sorta rhyme so they deal with ya
With me, I see through it
The honorable Wale Folarin, Cassius, Muhammad, Sonny Liston you lil' n*ggas
Say my name (Olu) now say my name (Olu)
Tell the ref to lift up my fist, Mr. Heyman, pay me my loot
Black excellence, uh, black Lexus that I
Never drive it, ride me if you get the drift
I'm the underdog, they don't talk about what I've done
The odds seven-to-one, the seventh bell, you'll be done
I talk how I talk, I'm walking that walk
Could never fight for a country that want me to fall, nah
Exiled for a short minute when Zyla was born
I beef with her mama literally was throwin' me off
But I'm back, that's my word, if he back
Then I be in the speedback, and go "brrrrt", yeah, a gat with the words
Black excellence, chocolate city, b*tch
I'm on the phone with Coon and Tak talkin' a milly, b*tch
Just a correctional, cut the message off really quick
No pressure, impressive, despite they effort, hit 'em again
You have a collect call from (Wale!)
Double M and DCR and I'ma rep my dog, yeah
Nah, y'all never catch my vibes
I mean I write it, I really write it, I'm still southpaw
Awkward, lefty, introvert, it's hard to get near me
That's why I'm in interviews high because I be highly defensive
For real, I'm black and I'm proud, no walkin' me down
We shockin' the world again, let me get to that album
Bruh
[Outro: Muhammad Ali & Wale]
I shook up the world!
And I'm the greatest thing that ever lived!
Black excellence
I'm king of the world! I upset Sonny Liston
Black excellence
I must be the greatest
Black excellence
I shook up the world!
You must listen to me, I am incredible!
Alright, ladies and gentlemen
Ladies and gentleman, I must tell you this...
Say my name, Olu (Olu, Olu)
