Me and Ali

[Richard_Pryor]

Mooney was talking shit to me last night-and he made some good points. Ali and me bust the doors down and we did it both with our mouths-Denis Leary said it on my special and I'm glad he did. He said, "Ali gets no fucking credit". For his fists he does but not for his mouth-that's what I'm talking about. The brother broke face and said shit to the white world, to the whole world that no one said before. Shit that needed to be said. He pissed a lot of motherfuckers off. When I spoke , shit I did it on the stage where it surprised people but the stage is the place to do it; and the white people listened, the black world, everyone, cause truth has no color. But Ali did it from the ring where no one had really talked shit before that! I love him for that, I love him a lot. We broke those boundries down.
