Hey people,we got a little something | |
That we wanna tell you all,so listen | |
Undestand,"yo god made one no better than | |
The other,every girl becomes | |
A woman every boy a man" | |
While you're livin' in your mansion | |
Driving big cars,there's another | |
On the street cold sleepin' | |
On the ground | |
So when you walk by,"yo,don't act | |
Cold-blooded,'cause it just ain't | |
Fair to kick a man when he's down" | |
'cause,he is somebody | |
Like i am somebody | |
You are somebody | |
Like i am someone | |
Whether you're here or you're gone | |
Right or you're wrong,you were meant | |
To be somebody from the second you're born | |
Don't criticize and knock one another | |
It ain't really that hard to just be | |
A brother,so be good speak up | |
Don't wait for it to happen,life is | |
Passing you by and homeboy | |
You're cold knappin' | |
Don't get hung up on what you're not | |
Be proud of what you are and whatever | |
You got! | |
'cause it's a cold cruel world causing | |
Kids to cry,if you're hangin' | |
Your head,cold kiss it goodbye | |
Stand up for your heritage,rejoice | |
In the fact | |
Whether you're red,white,tan | |
Yellow,brown or black | |
'cause,he is somebody | |
Like i am somebody | |
He is somebody | |
Like i am someone | |
There are fireman,bankers,messengers,preachers | |
Brokers,policeman,executives,teachers,journalists | |
Janitors,architects,doctors,restaurant workers | |
Nurses,chief rockers | |
If you feel you're somebody | |
Be proud and show it!'cause everybody's | |
Somebody,(ugh) and ya know it | |
It doesn't matter if you're black,white or chinese | |
Livin' in the states or reside overseas | |
'cause you and i are special,same as everyone else | |
And if you don't believe me | |
You're only cheating yourself | |
'cause we all got a purpose in life to achieve | |
(that's a fact)and here's another | |
That you better believe | |
That i am somebody | |
Like you are somebody | |
He is somebody | |
Like i am someone | |
You got wealth,good health and you're stuck | |
On yourself | |
Let me tell you that you're better than no body else | |
'cause you got no self-esteem,so i'm richer | |
And when you leave this earth you can't | |
Take money witcha | |
So play your dumb game,call me out | |
My name,but there's nothing | |
You can do that could make me feel shame | |
We're all created equal we live and we | |
Die,so when you try to bring | |
Me down i keep my head up high | |
Don't judge a book by its cover 'cause | |
It's never what it seems | |
Now i know what i'm sayin' and i feel | |
I gotta scream | |
That i am somebody | |
Like you are somebody | |
He is somebody | |
Like i am someone | |
So be yourself, huh!!! |
