Hey people,
we got a little something that we want to tell you all, listen, understand.
Yo,
God made one no bet ter than the other,
every girl becomes a woman, every boy a man.
And while you're living in your mansion, driving big cars,
there's another on the street, close
sleeping on the ground.
And when you walk by, don't act cold -blooded,
cause it just ain't fair to kick a man when
Cause he is somebody
Like I am somebody
You are somebody
Like I am someone
Whether you're here, 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 and happy,
don't be getting 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 hanging your head,
cold kiss and goodbye, stand up for your heritage,
rejudging the fact, cause are you red, white,
tan, yellow, brown or black, cause you are
He like I am somebody
He is somebody, like I am someone
They are firemen, bankers, messengers, preachers,
brokers, policemen, executives, teachers,
journalists, janitors, architects, doctors,
restaurant workers, nurses, chief rockers
If you see a somebody,
be proud and show it cause everybody's somebody
And you know it doesn't matter if you're black,
white, or
Chinese
Livin' in the states or reside overseas
You and I are special, same as everyone else
If you don't believe me,
you're only cheatin' yourself
We all got a purpose in life to achieve
An d 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.
But let me tell you that you're
better than nobody else.
Cause you got no self esteem,
so I'm richer.
And when you leave this earth,
you can't take money with ya.
So play your dumb game.
Call me out my name,
but nothing you can do can make me feel shame.
We're all created equal,
we live and we die.
So when you tryin' 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 speak
That I am somebody
Like you are somebody
He is somebody
Like I am someone
So be yourself
Thanks watching!
