I Am Somebody

Yeah yo yo yo

Yo, 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 the 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

Say, "I am (I am)

Somebody" (somebody")

Say, "I am ("I am)

Somebody" (somebody")

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 'cause 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 with 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!

Say, "I am ("I am)

Somebody" (somebody")

Say, "I am (I am)

Somebody" (somebody")

Who's to say if I choose to make moves today

Whether I win or lose I end up on the news today?

Amuse but never confuse

Still got dues to pay

You abuse elegant rules when you use cliches

They got you sittin' on the edge of your seat

Creatin' beef

Mark of the beast

Code on the street

Cease and decease

Never the least

Let me repeat

The situation gets sticky like the badge on police

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?

The fullest of vibes

Deliberate surprise

When bullets the size

Of quarters arrive

And slaughter your lives

We trying to counteract that

Unifying these ballers and backpacks

With knowledge and fact tracks

"I am ("I am)

Somebody" (somebody")

Say, "I am ("I am)

Somebody" (somebody")

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 **** 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

'Cause 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 best beat hook to this

And if you want a fly jam you should look to this so

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 the 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

Say, "I am ("I am)

Somebody" (somebody")

Say, "I am (I am)

Somebody" (somebody")

Who-who, who are you? (Somebody)

Who-who, who are you? (Somebody)

Who-who, who are you? (Somebody)

Who-who, who are you? (Somebody)
