Brother Ali
Madison, Wisconsin Ali born
albinism baby, parents forlorn.
Nineteen seventy seven the year
Jimmy Carter Premier.
He is also legally blind
do you want that defined.
Began rapping aged eight
eventually it would dominate.
Robbinsdale High, New Hope, Minnesota
no mention of a diploma.
Convert to Islam aged fifteen
Liberal Islam as foreseen.
Tho' Brother Ali is white
his own kind full of spite.
Most at ease amongst coloured folk
they listened when he spoke.
Here he is then
an odd ball amongst men.
It never got him down
the world now his playground.
