I said last night I had a dream. 
When I got to Africa, I had one hell of a rumble. 
I had to beat Tarzan's behind first for claiming to be the king of the jungle. 
For this fight, I've wrestled with alligators. 
I've tussled with a whale. 
I don't handcuff lightning and put thunder in jail. 
You know I'm bad. 
I have murdered a rock. 
I injured a stone and a hospitalized a brick. 
I'm so bad I make medicine sick. 
I'm so fast, man, I can run through a [music] hurricane and don't get wet. 
When George Foreman meets me, he'll pay his debt. 
I can drown in a drink of water and kill a dead tree. 
Wait till you see Muhammad Ali.
