Be Somebody - Fort Minor

Lyrics by：Derrick Johnson

Getting lenon

Uh M S Lupe

You know I'm a fan man I'm a real fan

Be somebody

Feel real honoured to be up in here you've seen

Gonna be someone

They had to bring out the expensive mics for this one

Gonna be somebody

You I'm saying the

Seven thousand dollar headphones for this one here

Know I'm saying

Come on talk to me

This is the story of them against us win or lose

Forcing your feet into someone else's shoes

Everybody's got something to say

That we ought to live their way what we're doing's not okay

In this world everybody's got a chip

On both sides of their neck

Got no respect wait up a sec

You ever feel like the pressure's too much to take

Too much weight ladies and gentlemen

If anybody can hear me right now please shout back

We're not the only ones feeling so trapped

In a dream of somebody else in fact

They got their heads full of some overblown scheme

Opportunity they missed back when they were sixteen

And all they want do is push you to be that

And all you want do is scream back

Gonna be somebody

For anybody telling me I can't

Gonna be someone

For anyone who told me I had no chance

Gonna be somebody

I'm telling 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

'Cause this ride is about to begin

Sit down and buckle it in let me say it again

In this world everybody's 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 f**k it

I'm tired of them saying the dream you have doesn't exist

Telling you you're worthless saying you should quit

Basically telling you that you'll never be s**t

Really they're pissed 'cause they'll never achieve

Some opportunity they missed back when they were sixteen

And all they want do is push you to be that

And all you want do is scream back

Ugh they gon' think you're crazy mumbling to yourself

In the basement all day uh uh uh in to yourself

My pops didn't dig it was shoveling to myself

My boys used to get it they dug it because they felt

My undertaking took me I was making in my stealth

A wealth of rhymes of crazy I would chuckle to myself

Then they went into the mental Rolodex

See I'm know 'em by heart like a brain in my chest

Then I took them to school where subjects was gettin' felt

Books under my seat notebook laying on my desk

My teacher's like mister Jaco yes

With all that knowledge you ain't tryna go to college

Be a Lawyer or a Doctor get a whole lot of dollars

Rather degrade women and glorify violence

Well the work that works for me might not work for you

No homework I got work to do

Gonna be somebody

For anybody telling me I can't

Gonna be someone

For anyone who told me I had no chance

Gonna be somebody

I'm telling you the time has come like that

Gonna be someone

Maybe you'll get it when I'm finally done

I'm finally done

This is innovation

Fort Minor

The right tick time

It stores no repeat twenty two
