"Ali In The Jungle" Lyrics

It's not how you start, it's how you finish
And it's not where you're from, it's where you're at

Everybody gets knocked down, everybody gets knocked down
How quick are you gonna get up?
How quick are you gonna get up?
Everybody gets knocked down, everybody gets knocked down
How quick are you gonna get up?
Just how are you gonna get up?

Like Ali in the jungle
Nelson in jail
Like Simpson on the mountain
With odds like that, they were bound to fail
Like Keller in the darkness,
Like Adam's in the dock,
Like Ludwig Van, how I loved that man
Well the guy went deaf and didn't give a fuck, no...

No, no, no

It's, not, where you are, it's where you're going
Where are you going?
And it's not about the things you've done, it's what you're doing now
What are you doing now?

Everybody gets knocked down, everybody gets knocked down
How quick are you gonna get up?
How quick are you gonna get up, now?
Everybody gets knocked down, everybody gets knocked down
How quick are you gonna get up?
Just how are you gonna get up?

Like Ali in the jungle,
Like Nelson in jail,
Like Simpson on the mountain,
Well with odds like that, they were bound to fail
Like Keller in the darkness,
Like Adam's in the dock,
Like Ludwig Van, how I loved that man,
Well the guy went deaf and didn't give a fuck, no...

Oooh, ooh, ooh
No, no, no
Oooh, ooh, ooh
No, no, no
Oooh, ooh, ooh

It's the greatest comeback since Lazarus,
The greatest comeback since Lazarus,
It's the greatest comeback since Lazarus,
The greatest comeback since Lazarus,
It's the greatest comeback since Lazarus,
The greatest comeback since Lazarus,
The greatest comeback since Lazarus,
The greatest comeback...
It's the greatest comeback...

(Radio Commentator)
This, is the most joyous scene, ever seen in the history of boxing
This is an incredible scene, the place is going wild
Muhammed Ali has won
Muhammed Ali has won, by a knockdown!
By a knockdown!
The thing they said was impossible, he's done!
