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 King of the Jungle.For this fight, I’ve wrestled with alligators,I’ve tussled with a whale.I done handcuffed lightningAnd throw thunder in jail.You know I’m bad.just last week, I murdered a rock,Injured a stone, Hospitalized a brick.I’m so mean, I make medicine sick.I’m so fast, man,I can run through a hurricane and don't get wet.When George Foreman meets me,He’ll pay his debt.I can drown the drink of water, and kill a dead tree.Just wait until you see me.
