I AM somebody

Music and words：l.dukes, n.glover, j.saddler - 1987 from the album 'ba-dop-boom-bang'
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 youre livin in your mansion
Driving big cars, theres another
On the street cold sleepin
On the ground
So when you walk by,'yo,dont act
Cold-blooded,cause it just aint
Fair to kick a man when hes down'
cause,he is somebody
Like i am somebody
You are somebody
Like i am someone
Whether youre here or youre gone
Right or youre wrong,you were meant
To be somebody from the second youre born
Dont criticize and knock one another
It aint really that hard to just be
A brother,so be good speak up
Dont wait for it to happen,life is
Passing you by and homeboy
Youre cold knappin
Dont get hung up on what youre not
Be proud of what you are and whatever
You got!
cause its a cold cruel world causing
Kids to cry,if youre hangin
Your head,cold kiss it goodbye
Stand up for your heritage,rejoice
In the fact
Whether youre 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 youre somebody
Be proud and show it!cause everybodys
Somebody,(ugh) and ya know it
It doesnt matter if youre black,white or chinese
Livin in the states or reside overseas
cause you and i are special,same as everyone else
And if you dont believe me
Youre only cheating yourself
cause we all got a purpose in life to achieve
(thats a fact)and heres 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 youre stuck
On yourself
Let me tell you that youre better than no body else
cause you got no self-esteem,so im richer
And when you leave this earth you cant
Take money witcha
So play your dumb game,call me out
My name,but theres nothing
You can do that could make me feel shame
Were all created equal we live and we
Die,so when you try to bring
Me down i keep my head up high
Dont judge a book by its cover cause
Its never what it seems
Now i know what im 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 !!!
