What’s My Name?

Lyrics

What's in a name? Power of shame A message in code but the meaning is plain Choose this name and set yourself free Float like a butterfly sting like a bee What's my name? What's my name? Don't call me… Champion of the world, a poet and a clown Still the greatest when they dragged you down Stripped of the title, banned from the ring Just too pretty and you say all these things Throw thunder in jail and dance in the light Stand up along in the fight of your life The Silent majority, the Southern strategy Won't fight in their war, got his own war to fight What's my name? What's my name? Don't call me… Houston Astrodome, Jim Crow South Punch a way out with two fists and a mouth Got no quarrel with them Viet Cong On Celebrity Squares Ernie's singing a song 'Bout how he'll change your features cos you changed your name Now your draft number's changed from 1-Y to 1-A & Ernie Terrell won't call you Mohammed Ali Hold his broken body up til he can speak…..your name
