I'm Gonna Have To Be Killed Before

I Am The Astronaut Of Boxing. Joe Louis And Dempsey Were Just Jet Pilots. I'm In A World Of My Own.

I Was Asked In A Way When Honorable Elijah Mohammed Said Take The Step, Choose Between The Wealth Of America And The Millions Of Dollars And The Title, The Ministry. So, I Chose The Ministry. If I Was Not Sincere, Then I Would Have Easily Went To Vietnam, Boxin' Exhibitions, And Made A Couple Of Cool Million.

On My Twelfth Birthday, I Got A New Bicycle As A Present From My Folks, And I Rode It To A Fair That Was Being Held At The Columbia Gymnasium, And When I Come Out, My Bike Was Gone. I Was So Mad I Was Crying, And A Policeman, Joe Martin, Come Up And I Told Him I Was Going To Whip Whoever Took My Bike. He Said I Ought To Take Some Boxing Lessons To Learn How To Whip The Thief Better, And I Did. That's When I Started Fighting.

Don't Ever Squeeze A Fighter's Hand, Man. You're Doing Good Just To Lay Your Eyes On Me

Life Is A Gamble. You Can Get Hurt, But People Die In Plane Crashes, Lose Their Arms And Legs In Car Accidents; People Die Every Day. Same With Fighters: Some Die, Some Get Hurt, Some Go On. You Just Don't Let Yourself Believe It Will Happen To You.
