The World's Greatest Lyrics
I am a mountain
I am a tall tree
Ohhh, I am a swift wind
Sweepin' the country
I am a river
Down in the valley
Ohhh, I am a vision
And I can see clearly
If anybody asks u who I am
Just stand up tall look 'em in the Face and say
[Chorus]
I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
I made it
I'm the worlds greatest
And I'm that little bit of hope
When my backs against the ropes
I can feel it mmm
I'm the worlds greatest
I am a giant
I am an eagle
I am a lion
Down in the jungle
I am a marchin' band
I am the people
I am a helpin' hand
And I am a hero
If anybody asks u who I am
Just stand up tall look 'em in the Face and say
[Chorus]
I'm that star up in the sky
I'm that mountain peak up high
I made it
I'm the worlds greatest
And I'm that little bit of hope
When my backs against the ropes
I can feel it
I'm the worlds greatest
[Choir sings with R Kelly]
I reckon that this sing has got real meaning. It's about a guy who pulled thru all his struggle and is now on top of the world...
This is a song about Muhammed Ali. He was the greatest, just just the greatest athlete, but one of the greatest American in the 20th century.
why are you the only person who knows what this song is about? i thought that was common knowledge

The song was about Mahammed Ali as yoyofella just stated. Mahammed Ali would always say "I'm the Worlds greatest" as in boxer... Not Athlet. And let's all face it, he is. No one was as good a boxer or ever will be than Mahammed Ali. That's what this song is about. How no one will ever be as great a boxer as Mahammed Ali. If you watch the music video for this song, R. Kelly is playing a boxer (Mahammed Ali) and he gets into the ring and the song starts. It's a great song dedicated to Mahammed Ali.
You guys have the wrong idea, think about what colors show, what is the artist trying to tell you by only showing red white and blue? What do you think the purpose was in showing the US army, the doctors and women and children of America. Fire-fighters & policemen of AMERICA. What is he showing by wearing American-flag-print attire, and everyone in the audience holding American flags.
He is saying that his country is the worlds greatest, that country be the USA.
very inspirational and touching.
i think he has worked really hard and has got a meaning that there is a man who wants to be the worlds greatest.keep it up!!!!!
HE'S THE WORLD'S GREATEST, THE WORLDS GREATEST RAPER! lol
I'm thinkin you probably mean Rapper, not Raper. If he were the world's greatest raper, this song would be quite distasteful. :-) Also, just to be REALLY picky, you don't really hear R Kelly rapping all that much, do you? He's more of a singer. Have a nice day!
i think rockinrose ment raper...there are a lot of rumors that says he has been raping girls...an stuff
by the way i think it is a great song...about a guy who feels like he´s on top of the world....like wow i made it! =)
