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!!!
