Earlier tonight at the 2016 ESPY Awards, Chance the Rapper gave a stirring musical tribute to the late Muhammad Ali, who passed away last month at the age of 72.
The song titled "I Was A Rock" also featured Donnie Trumpet, Jamila Woods, Peter Cottontale, and Teddy Jackson. You can check out the performance and the lyrics to the song below.
Here are the lyrics to "I Was A Rock" by Chance The Rapper:
Back in time
I lost track of time
Rolling on the road
Christmas eves and valentines
Seem like the days before
I came I went I did well
I did I really meant well
But I almost missed my beat
So thank you for saving me a seat
I swear ain't nowhere greater
Ain't nowhere brighter
Ain't nowhere better, better, better, better
Ain't no one prettier
Ain't no one wiser
Ain't nowhere better, better, better, better
God is watching me
God don’t praise me because I beat Joe Frazier
God don’t give nothing about Joe Frazier
God don’t care nothing about England or America
As far as wealth
It’s all his
He wants to know how do we treat each other

I was a rock
I was a rock and roller
Back in my day (Back in my day)
But now I'm just a rock (I was a rock)
I was a rock and roller
Back in my day (Back in my day)
But now I'm just a rock
I was a rock
Steady hold
I've grown weary and old
We're as close as we'll ever be
I was gone I have places to be
And of course you're in the place I look
I swear ain't nowhere greater
Ain't nowhere brighter
Ain't nowhere better, better, better, better
Ain't no one prettier
Ain't no one wiser
Ain't nowhere better, better, better, better
And I'm still standing here
Standing still
I won't be moved
How used to when
I was a rock
I was a rock and roller
Back in my day (Back in my day)
But now I'm just a rock (I was a rock)
I was a rock and roller
Back in my day (Back in my day)
But now I'm just a rock
I was a rock
I was a rock
I was a rock and roller
Back in my day (Back in my day)
But now I'm just a rock (I was a rock)
I was a rock and roller
Back in my day (Back in my day)
But now I'm just a rock
I was a rock
