»…I make Medicine Sick«

I’m bad!

Been chopping trees. I done something new for this fight:

I’d a wrestle with a alligator – That’s right.

I have wrestled with a alligator, I done tussle with a whale

I done handcuff lightning, throw thunder in jail

That’s bad.

Only last week I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalized a brick.

I’m so mean, I make medicine sick.

Bad. Fast. Fast. Fast.

Last night I cut the light off in my bedroom.

Hit the switch, was in the bed before the room was dark.

The entire fight from 30 Oct 1974 in Kinshasa (Zaire) is on youtube (round 1 starting at 21m 10s).
