Gonna' be somebody
Gonna' be someone ----x2
This is a story of them against us, win or lose
forcin your feet into someone elses shoes
everybody gots something to say
that we outta live that way what we doin's not okay
in this world everybodys got a chip on
both sides of the neck got no respect
wait up a sec
ou ever feel like the pressurs to much to take
to much weigh
ladies and gentlemen
if anybody can hear me right now please shout back
we not the only ones feeling so trapped in a dream of
somebody else
in fact, they got there head full of some overblown
scheme
oportunity they missed back when they were sixteen
and all they wanna do is push you to be that
and all you wanna do is scream back
Gonna' be somebody
For anybody tellin me I cant
Gonna' be someone
for anyone who told me I had no chance
Gonna' be somebody
I'm tellin' you the time has come/ like that
Gonna' be someone
And maybe you'll get it when I'm finally done
We don't sleep to dream, we sleep to build stamina
energy to do our thing, get your camera
cuz this ride is about to begin
sit down and buckle it in
let me say it again
in this world everybodys got a chip on
both sides of the neck got no respect
wait up a sec
When I was young they said the odds of making it were
slim to none
ladies and fuck it
I'm tired of them sayin the dream you have doesn't
exist
tellin' you your worthless sayin' you should quit
basically telling you that you'll never be shit
Really there pissed cuz they'll never achieve some
opportunity
they missed back when they were sixteen
and all they wanna do is push you to be that
and all you wanna do is scream back
Did God think you're crazy mumbling to yourself in the
basement all day
AAA in to yourself
My pops didn't diggin' with shovelin it to myself/
My boys use to get it they dugg it because they felt
My undertakin took me I was making in my stealth a
wealth of rhymes of
crazy I would talkin' to myself
then they went into the mental Rolodex see I'm bout
heart like my brain in my chest
and I took em into school where subjects were getting
felt
books under my seat notebook layin on my desk
my teachers like Mr. Jacko YES with all that knowledge
you ain't tryin to go college
be a lawyer or a doctor get a whole lot of dollas
rather degrade woman and glorify violence
well work that works for me might not work for you
no homework I got work to do
Gonna' be somebody
For anybody tellin me I cant
Gonna' be someone
for anyone who told me I had no chance
Gonna' be somebody
I'm tellin' you the time has come like that
Gonna' be someone
And maybe you'll get it when I'm finally done
