Song: I Am Somebody

Typed by: [email protected] {*with help from the website*}
|
|
[All]
|
Yo, raise the level, bass bottom to treble
|
Forever keep it ghetto
|
Funk and heavy metal
|
F*ck the devil
|
Unify the rebel
|
Whistle like a kettle
|
With a fly acapello
|
Smooth and mellow
|
Locked load and settle
|
Shine through times with rhymes bright like yellow
|
Taste and swallow, lead and never follow
|
Break it like a bottle
|
Inspire like a role model
|
|
Chorus:
|
[Soup]
|
Say, "I am" (I am) "Somebody" (Somebody)
|
|
[Akil]
|
Yo, my soul, bounce rock and roll
|
Tumble with the rhythm
|
Heat the mic when it's cold
|
I was told "Be Bold"
|
Whether platinum or gold
|
Keep it solid
|
Do the knowledge
|
Til' I reach my goal
|
My hunger-pain thunder
|
Lumberjack the fifth wonder
|
I never slumber cuz I keep it on the under
|
My post beat for people in the street
|
Ghetto M-U-S-I-C (We bring the heat)
|
That African soul
|
Clap black power impact
|
Who said ghetto rap was all about a dope sack?
|
A pimp slap or a big black gatt
|
Fuck around and get jacked
|
For your rhymes where I live at
|
Uh, I'm not a gangsta but I boogie wit beats
|
No gang affiliation in my lyrics or speech
|
But still I keep it straight hood-hop techniques
|
South Central Fundamentals J5 emcees
|
And it's on!
|
|
Chorus
|
|
[Chali 2na]
|
Who's to say if I choose to make moves today
|
Whether I win or lose or I end up on the news today
|
Amuse but never confuse
|
Still got dues to pay
|
You abuse elegant rules when you use cliches
|
|
[Marc 7]
|
They got you sittin' on the edge of your seat
|
|
[Chali 2na]
|
Creatin' beef
|
|
[Marc 7]
|
Mark of the beast
|
Code on the street
|
Cease and decease
|
|
[Chali 2na]
|
Never the least
|
|
[Marc 7]
|
Let me repeat
|
The situation gets sticky like the badge on police
|
|
[Chali 2na]
|
We individually driven in the beginnin'
|
We winnin'
|
Six men and a venomous independent decision and clear vision
|
Pretendin' was never a possibility
|
I got to kill it
|
Because I want to be it
|
The poet to win a Pulitzer Prize
|
Who wouldn¡¯t survive?
|
|
[Marc 7]
|
The fullest of vibes
|
|
[Chali 2na]
|
Deliberate surprise
|
|
[Marc 7]
|
When bullets the size
|
|
[Chali 2na]
|
Of quarters arrive
|
|
[Marc 7]
|
And slaughter your lives
|
|
[All]
|
We trying to counteract that
|
|
[Chali 2na]
|
Unifying these ballers and backpacks
|
With Knowledge-&-Fact-Tracks
|
|
Chorus
|
|
[Soup]
|
Yo, my soul, infiltrate birth control
|
And control guns Huey P used to hold
|
I breathe life and through the 60's
|
Voted most likely to get busy
|
Inner city flash jiggy burn
|
Phillies and things
|
And we boogie to the bang
|
Sunshine and rain
|
Why you cats be talkin' that pimp crap in jail
|
I corresponded with a nigga who can barely spell
|
I know the situation oh so well (so well)
|
I done seen it in 3D
|
It ain't hard to tell
|
Why you bang for your turf chain girl or your man
|
I be banging for Islam in a spot in Sudan
|
Cuz I can't solve or stop or put foot to this
|
The hottest brother on the block couldn't cook to this
|
J5 drop the verse beat hook to this
|
And if you want a fly jam you should look to this
|
So...
|
|
[All]
|
Raise the level, bass bottom to treble
|
Forever keep it ghetto
|
Funk and heavy metal
|
Fuck the devil
|
Unify the rebel
|
Whistle like a kettle
|
With a fly acapello
|
Smooth and mellow
|
Locked load and settle
|
Shine through times with rhymes bright like yellow
|
Taste and swallow, lead and never follow
|
Break it like a bottle
|
Inspire like a role model
|
|
Chorus
