Be Somebody

(album: The Never Ending Mixtape - 2010)

[Moe-T:]
Alright you ready? Go

[Packy:]
Now I see, now I see things clear
On the road less traveled, you gotta face fears
The time's gonna come when you gotta face smears
Even if the truth hurts to hear, you persevere
And realize the lives that put you here
Hiding in disguise is a curse to bear so be yourself
Even when it's difficult
Do the right thing even if it ain't typical
I don't wanna be hypocritical, I'm guilty too
But this song is step one, you're step two
This ain't just a beat for you to step to
It's a movement, open the door and step through
I was like you, didn't know what I could do
Didn't know my capabilities or didn't want to
Began as my only fan, just one supporting
Went from two, three, to four, five like Jordan
Five became ten, ten became hundreds
Look at all the things you can do with just one kid
But we got two plus the crew plus you
So before we get old, let's start something new

Every time you wake up, thank the Lord
For all the opportunities you can work toward
Don't be indifferent, don't be complacent
Do something, go out and make a statement
Be somebody, be somebody, be some, be some, be somebody
Be somebody, be somebody, be some, be-be-be-be somebody

[Moe-T:]
I never wanted to be another Joe Shmo
The same old guy with the same old mold
So I took a deep breath and I showed the world
That I could be a little more than everyone took me for
Which you start at the bottom, be the butt of every joke
When you feel like you're alone, that's when you see yourself grow
When you see yourself grow, that's when you know
That you've outgrown the rest, leave haters in the shadows
Never shown how to do it, never known how to lose it
Just kept the fire burning long enough to pursue it
Always kept my head high and charged right through it
I had faith in myself when they all thought I'd lose it
Uh huh, but now I'm here and I'm with it
Feels like a weight has been lifted
The tables have turned and the ground has shifted
Take this blueprint and be something to me

[Packy:]
Every time you wake up, thank the Lord
For all the opportunities you can work toward
Don't be indifferent, don't be complacent
Do something, go out and make a statement
Be somebody, be somebody, be some, be some, be somebody
Be somebody, be somebody, be some, be-be-be-be somebody

Everyone's got goals and aspirations
But the ones that make it are the ones with patience
Go ahead, give yourself expectations, and meet 'em
Matter fact, go ahead, beat 'em
Exceed 'em, leave negativity, nah, you don't need it
Recognize that you succeeded
I just wanna take a mic and I wanna heat it
Got a fire inside and I wanna feed it
Indeed it learns
I don't want the burning to be concerning, urning
I want the burning, concerned with yearning
Yearning for learning
Learning that keeps the world turning and turning
Yeah, the world is turning and turning
Turning and turning
Yeah, the world is turning and turning

Every time you wake up, thank the Lord
For all the opportunities you can work toward
Don't be indifferent, don't be complacent
Do something, go out and make a statement
Be somebody, be somebody, be some, be some, be somebody
Be somebody, be somebody, be some, be-be-be-be somebody

Be somebody, be somebody, be some-some-body
Somebody, some-some-some-body
Be some-some-some-body
Be some-some-some-body
Be some-some-body
Be-be-be somebody
