Be Somebody

[Intro: Dre]

This is, fo sho

This is, fo sho

Ha ha, Beat Novocaine

Yeah

[Verse 1: Dre]

One of them jump-out boys, jackin' toys out their cars, I remember

Miami, where it’s 95 degrees in December

That's why the years go by so fast

It seem like yesterday I used to sport that pleather MCM member

Tryin' to be a jack boy, me, Mark and Larry

Used to grab them girls’ ass, run off, trip out and laugh at 'em

And white boys wearin' Edwin jeans

Thought them white girls was pretty

Yo! MTV Raps was the first time I heard a New York rapper

Before that, bass music was the thing that I blasted

Out the boombox, 2Pac, Digital Underground

Thug Life, muhfucka I get around

Come up in the city where they figured us clowns

Disrespected our music, look at us now

Crunk music, all it is is bass music slowed down

We them boys that made New York City proud

How ironic is that?

[Chorus: Dre & Keyshia Cole (Both)]

In due time, one day, just wait

I'ma be somebody, yo, tell somebody

I'ma, I'ma make it happen

You'll see, I'mma make it happen, uh-huh

In due time, one day, just wait

I’ma be somebody, yo, tell somebody

I’ma, I'ma make it happen

You’ll see, I'mma make it happen, Keyshia, sing it for me!

This is all that I know

Up in my heart and my soul

I'll never give up, oh no

One day, you already know

That I'm somebody, you’re somebody

We're all somebody, I'mma be somebody!

I'm somebody, you're somebody

We're all somebody, I'mma be somebody!

[Verse 2: Dre]

My homie Kanye say "Bush, he don't care 'bout us"

The water rising, yet he won't stare at us

Cameras flashin', can't believe the news

We just tryin' to stay alive, they call it "black people lootin'"?

(Damn)

Well, back to the music, back to the bullshit

Back to when Ja Rule did "New York, New York," we was happenin' producers

"Hate It or Love It," ha-ha, we back on the news clips!

They say we up for some Grammys

I could give two fucks, I ain't tryin' to win no Grammys

I'm tryin' to get my niggas off the block slingin' grams and

Hangin' out of Chevys, sendin' shots, killin' families

Dade County filled with hard-ass niggas

No homo, survived through that Hurricane Wilma

Our grind started in the Continental

Now when I arrive, step out the Bentley Continental, nigga!

[Chorus: Dre & Keyshia Cole (Both)]

In due time, one day, just wait

I'ma be somebody, yo, tell somebody

I'ma, I'ma make it happen

You'll see, I'mma make it happen, uh-huh

In due time, one day, just wait Ohh

I'ma be somebody, yo, tell somebody

I'ma make it happen

I'ma, I'ma make it happen

You'll see, I'mma make it happen, Keyshia, sing it for me!

This is all that I know

(I know) Up in my heart and my soul

I'll never give up, oh no

One day, you already know

That I'm somebody, you're somebody

We're all somebody, I'mma be somebody!

I'm somebody, you're somebody

We're all somebody, I'mma be somebody!

[Outro: Dre & Keyshia Cole]

It's Dade County fo sho, tell everybody you know

It's D-Dre, Beat Novocaine, Keyshia Cole

Can you hear me singin' to you?

I'm somebody, you're somebody

We're all somebody, I'mma be somebody!

It's Dade County fo sho, tell everybody you know

It's D-Dre, Beat Novocaine, Keyshia Cole

I can feel it, yeah

I'm somebody, you're somebody

We're all somebody, I'mma be somebody!

Can you feel it, yeah?  Ohhhh

Dade...Dade...Dade

Oohhh, thank you, baby!
