I just wanna be somebody
(You will never be nobody)
(Somebody)
(Nobody)
I just wanna be somebody
(You will never be nobody)
We all got somebody in us
We gotta look in us
You feel me
Ain't gotta wait for nobody to tell you that
Know yourself
Nobody wanna die alone
Let alone live they life without love, always hated on
Nobody wanna die just tryna' make it home
Shot by a cop and all you had was a cell phone
Somebody gotta pray for him
Open up a door and make a way for him
Mamma put her last in the plate
She belief in the faith, that this would pay for his misfortune
Crooked world and it seems that everybody don't see no hope
And nobody don't listen cause everybody believe they woke
Wings is broke
Time to fly
Dreamin' of the stars starin' at the sky
Standin' in the ghetto
If I survive, I won't be a nobody and share this story of mine
Listen
(Free your mind)
Nobody
(Free your mind)
(Somebody)
Yeah
Nobody wanna live alone
Whats a house if its an empty home
Whats a child without a father in his life
To pick up and hug and tell him right from wrong
Nobody don't miss you until you're gone
Or in a hospital holdin' on
And then you somebody they should have cared about
Like you wasn't there all along
I'm so sorry for the pain and the excuses I made
Rest in peace to my brother Sirray
You said I looked like a star when I seen you last
And told me never let off the gas, foot off the brakes
You're gonna go far
Live your best life like theres no tomorrow
Shoot for the heavens, not the stars
And never let nobody define who you are
I just wanna be somebody
(You will never be nobody)
I just wanna be somebody
(You will never be nobody)
(Free your mind and your spirit, your body and your soul, be whole)
(Free your mind and your spirit, your body and your soul, be whole)
Everybody want freedom
But nobody wanna fight for it
Cause what it costs to be free
You gotta make a sacrifice for it
Its priceless
Its timeless
Its every moment you dream and take it all in
Its getting to the top
When they called you Nobody as a little kid
Now I'm on my way
When it was no way I kept my faith
Kept my head up and did not stray
I held it down until I got straight
Motivated by the past to not go back to that
When the future is upon us
Dedicated to the peace of my soul
Until I'm at the highest honor
(Free your mind)
(Somebody)
(Free your mind)
(Free your mind and your spirit, your body and your soul, be whole)
(Free your mind and your spirit, your body and your soul, be whole)
I know I can be somebody
(Free your mind and your spirit, your body and your soul, be whole)
I know I can be anybody
(Free your mind and your spirit, your body and your soul, be whole)
(Somebody)
