Muhammad Ali - Dropping Knowledge (1974)

don't fly together the drones everything is related to yours why people cultures different from blacks Puerto Ricans and Indonesians can't integrate Egyptians and Germans can't integrate Australians and Mexicans can't integrate they have different foods they have music different cultures different we look good none of us black, if the white people have a party tonight and the black people have a party, the party will be under the sun, different from the music, I will go to the white bathroom, we integrate a right, you go to a white restaurant, you have to look at all day. the jukebox to find a new area where a party will arrive a Franklin Stevie Wonder if I'm doing well jukebox in the white resting any black Italian here you have to search all over the box or some black music Hank's not Johnny Cash everything kind of names I've never heard of you, you know when that train comes, so what I'm saying is: I don't want that music with that fist of white culture?

You nod, oh baby, don't go. Oh, who's running out my back door, baby? look, those are problems, so I'm going to China, rest, cleanliness, teenage pollution, I told you, so we came in gray, we will never have peace, the culture, the nature is different, I don't hate you, we can eat in your restaurant , We want to get married. your women, we have your women now, there is nothing we can do today, but these things that the doll has. I see dogs on TV eating the same player. White people. I see dogs on buses and they do everything with dogs, so I don't.

I get nothing, the dog is not a man, so there is really nothing to this integration. I need some land, I need some jobs, my people need jobs, we need something for us to build and do for ourselves and we need to have some land away. 2 million people, you know, a lot of them do things just in New York and Cleveland Baltimore Washington California so many ruins that they are an entire nation 40 million of those who don't tell the truth about it want us to stop having babies, they give everyone their payments 40 million not 20 million yes they pay and black women don't have babies now they have all kinds of plans to stop our race so now we meet a man with a man with my

knowledge

what can you tell a man like me and now what?

What is your suggestion and she will ask you? Okay, you're talking to me, not a fool or a pork chop. I don't know the truth either. I'm free now. I just woke up. What are you going to tell me now? I didn't give you, my solution, a little bit of land on my own, doing something for myself, like you, Engel of America, do now. I know you're not against a black man. I know you are not against me having my land. Is it you and do I know you? English, rules and slave forever for a long time, but you still don't want me to have my own country, build it and cover myself?

Would you think that's bad if we don't like it? I want your solution to my problem

, then everyone just saw a white man who just flew from New York to England in less than two hours. You also progress if you walk on other planets. Now, today, I'm smart too. What are you doing? What is your suggestion? What should my move be? Integrate, yes, equal rights. and a mixed company in this society, why are you still in the government? still at the train station the railway plant the conference floor these television cameras you still play a fool you control everything and I'm like a leash on a dog's back All I can do is wait for you.

I can't do anything for myself. Integrating that into your society doesn't mean I'm doing it for me. You are doing everything. I want to do something for myself. I'm tired. If it depends on you, it is possible that one day you will go bankrupt. Your stores could close. Your gas pumps could cut out again. I trust you. I'll never be able. I have my own land and country. Well, here you have your own freedom, for example. I know you. You are luckier than many blacks in your own nations. I know I promise to represent only myself.

I wouldn't talk like that because I did. I'm Tom to my brothers. I just don't see how mommy. Look how you can cut America into pieces and keep all the whites, all the rest in England, then we're gone, then we're too relieved, but they'd miss you. I know. One last question at the end of your life, if it was Allah who said it Elijah Muhammad or if it was something someone wrote about you after you were gone, what would you most like people to say about your life, he was a great champion or what would you like people to think of you when your life is gone so that they say it took a few cups of love it took a spoonful of patience a spoonful of a teaspoon of generosity a liter of kindness it took a liter of laughter 1 pinch of worry and then he mixed the disposition which happiness added a lot of faith and started well, then he spread it throughout his life and served it to each and every deserving person he met.
