Listen & view Fort Minor - Be Somebody lyrics & tabs

Uh, MS, Lupe
Ya know, I'm a fan man, I'm a real fan

(Gonna be somebody)
Feel real honored to be up in here, ya know I'm sayin'
(Gonna be someone)
They had to bring out the expensive mics for this one
(Gonna be somebody)
Ya know I'm sayin'
The seven thousand dollar headphones for this one here
Ya know I'm sayin'
(Gonna be someone)
Come on, talk to 'em

This is the story of them against us
Win or lose
Forcing your feet into someone else's shoes
Everybody's got somethin' to say
That we oughta live their way
What were doin'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 too take
Too much weight

Ladies and gentlemen
If anybody can hear me right now
Please shout back

We're not the only ones feelin' 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 to do is push you to be that
And all you wanna do is scream back

Gonna be somebody
For anybody tellin' me I can't
Gonna be someone
For anyone who told me I had no chance
Gonna be somebody
I'm tellin' 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 their neck
Got no respect
Wait up a sec
When I was young
They said the odds of makin' it were slim, to none

Ladies and fuck it
I'm tired of them sayin' the dream you have doesn't exist
Tellin' you you're worthless, sayin' you should quit
Basically tellin' you that you'll never be shit

Really they're pissed 'cause they'll never achieve
Some opportunity they missed, back when they were sixteen
And all they want to do is push you to be that
And all you wanna do is scream back

Uh, they gone think you're crazy
Mumblin' to yourself
In the basement all day
Uh-uh-uhin' to ya self

My pops didn't dig it
Was shovelin to myself
My boys used to get it
They dug it because they felt

My undertakin' took me
I was makin' in my stealth
For 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

And I took 'em to school
Where subjects was gettin' felt
Books under my seat
No book layin' on my desk

My teacher's like, Mr. Jaco
Yes?
With all that knowledge
You ain't tryin' to go to college

Be a lawyer or a doctor
Get a whole lotta 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 tellin' me I can't
Gonna be someone
For anyone who told me I had no chance
Gonna be somebody
I'm tellin' you the time has come (Like that)
Gonna be someone
And maybe you'll get it when I'm finally done
And I'm finally done

Yeah, this one goes out
To those fantastic human beings
That keep us down and hold us back
You give us fuel for what we do
Thanks
