Somebody

[Intro]

Oh, do it now, oh, do it now

Yeah, we celebrate diversity in the university

Everybody can't be a queen, everybody can't be a ho and a bitch (Ha ha)

Everybody can't b e a philosopher

Some of y'all gotta load up the clip

Word up, watch this

[Hook]

It goes 1, 2, 3 we the best

Knowledge Reigns Supreme, as you can see, or KRS

You don't wanna test the team, why get a vest

You don't wanna be cursed in a verse, by the blessed

KRS with the sound for the east and the west

Follow no, follow no, follow no, follow no beast on a quest

[Verse]

Somebody gotta be the emcee

Somebody gotta do the rap

Somebody gotta be smart

Somebody gotta do that

Somebody gotta do art

Somebody gotta be black

Somebody gotta have heart

Somebody gotta be white

Somebody gotta do their part

Somebody gotta be bright

Somebody gotta be up

Somebody gotta be down

Somebody gotta be the teacher

Somebody gotta be the clown

Somebody gotta be lost

Somebody gotta be found

Somebody gotta be in the economy making the money go round

Somebody gotta be the president

Somebody gotta get down

Somebody gotta be hesitant

Somebody gotta be relevant

Somebody gotta be celibate

Somebody gotta be having their sex in a lex for the hell of it

Somebody gotta be intelligent

Somebody gotta be illiterate

Somebody gotta go all the way

Somebody gotta go a little bit

Somebody got to be an idiot

Somebody gotta be belligerent

Somebody gotta be hip hop

Cause somebody else is living it

Somebody gotta be spitting it

Somebody gotta be ignorant

Somebody gotta be holy

But somebody gotta have sin in it

Somebody gotta be losing it

Somebody gotta be winning it

Somebody gotta be flippin' the style I'm kicking just a little bit

Somebody gotta be into it

Somebody gotta be out of it

Somebody gotta be up for it

Somebody gotta be doubtin' it

Somebody gotta be running it

Somebody gotta be all that

Somebody don't even know that

Somebody gotta come right here

Somebody else gotta go back

Somebody gotta be scheming

Somebody gotta be a witness

Somebody gotta be seeing in the meaning is different

Somebody else gotta be somebody, for some else to be somebody

Somebody else to run into to wealth, to try to create one body

One aim, one God, one destiny

I'm not non-violent, you can back up off of me

I sip my tea, and cock back three

One for Tiny Tim, Mr. Walt, and Evil Dee

I hope you all see, the need for unity

I'll never stop speaking about Marcus Garvey

Kwame Ture or Malcolm X all day

Black leadership today is all play

Y'all play, y'all immature black behavior

Is worse than being a traitor

Do on to others, as you would have done do to your neighbor

Big up to my philosophy majors

Free Mumia Abu-Jamal from the cages

We writes the pages and teach all ages

Justice, tell me what we want now

Justice, for Mumia Abu-Jamal

Or justice for Amadou Diallo

Justice, there is no peace without (*Justice*)

All dem mercy, now watch this

[Hook]

Follow no beast, on a quest

Do you hear me?

Follow no beast, on a quest

Word
