I Am Somebody

[Hook: Jesse Jackson + (Akon)]

I am somebody

(I am somebody)

I am somebody

(I am somebody)

I am somebody

(I am somebody)

I am somebody

(I am somebody)

I am somebody

(I am somebody)

I am somebody

I am somebody

I am somebody

[Verse 1: Big K.R.I.T]

Country bumpkin this, country bumpkin that

I be damned if I prove them right

Pimp the pen and wrecked the mic

There ain't no stopping me baby I'm on my mission

Been that way since grandma kitchen, livin' conditions wasn't all that easy

I promised her before she up and left I'd make good on my talents

You can't fall if you balanced

Never stray from a challenge ever

And never be the type to give up on your dreams

Things ain't what they seem

So pay attention, play your position, and be a leader

Remember your scriptures, no matter the feat, the lost need ya

Reach they soul, break the mold, encourage your own folk out the gutter

The hood can't ever love ya like I love ya

Ain't no bubble they can put you in

Cause your accent hard

They might judge you by your skin

But they don't know your heart

The struggle of the ups and downs

Of being positive when negative is all around

Cause I am somebody

[Hook: Jesse Jackson + (Akon)]

I am somebody

(I am somebody)

I am somebody

(I am somebody)

I am somebody

(I am somebody)

I am somebody

(I am somebody)

I am somebody

(I am somebody)

I am somebody

I am somebody

I am somebody

[Verse 2: B.o.B]

I am more than just a color

To my niggas doin' time, you are more than just a number

To all of my amigos, I support you like a brother

Why they call it human race, are we competin' with each other?

Oh the world ain't fair, the world don't care

When the sun goes down, the world ain't there

Protect and serve what? Protect and serve who?

I am not the enemy, please don't shoot, hands up

It was all cool back when we was shootin' hoops

Now the streets ain't safe, man somebody call the troops

What happened to democracy?

Really it's the opposite

The neighborhood watch is the neighborhood watchin' me

Maybe it's cause these young niggas ain't got no one to chop it with

Fed up with the world, sick of wonderin' where their pops is at

All these trendin' topics, fuck the dollars, where the knowledge at?

And if you copy that then holler back

Let me hear you say, I am...

[Hook: Jesse Jackson + (Akon)]

I am somebody

(I am somebody)

I am somebody

(I am somebody)

I am somebody

(I am somebody)

I am somebody

(I am somebody)

I am somebody

(I am somebody)

I am somebody

I am somebody

I am somebody
