Verse 1- My teacher said I had the brain to be an astronaut
The main character, I could carry the plot
Showed me American pie, with the cherry on top
But its hard to see #space, when you're staring at the block
Waves on top, bebes on the side
Hopping out the hooptie, hoping they ain't see me in the ride
Wishing my sneakers featured MJ leaping on the side
Dreaming about how I can be the guy
Shorty said I walk like a bird, talk like a nerd, awkward
All turn offs to her, she just want a boss
Either be a preacher or put jesus on the cross
In 24 karat gold how they floss, floss
I stayed glued in, hoping to be a shoe-in
Putting my two cents towards Jigga mans blueprint
Until i find my place in the huddle, a space shuttle
Awaiting the day where i can blast off (space)
Hook- I just wanna be somebody, its really hard to be
Cuz i dont really see anybody, who's somebody like me
Verse 2-
The laws of physics swallow up small fishes
Small business falls to Sam Waltons, privilege
Yea Walmarts leaving these strip malls in stitches
We all narcissistic in spite of all these statistics
They thought I was autistic
Because I ain't have the gall to let my thoughts
Live a bit
Before blogs and twitter gave every kid in the hall
False significance
You had to ball to be the big event

Verse 3 by Jerrell Johnson-
They say that light allows you to see the pigment of leaves
So ima show yall my family tree
When i was younger had hair like Basquiat
Who knew i would trot through my neighborhood block
On skates, pops was in another state
Mom was coming home late
From working all day, so i buried my face
In those Dreamcasts, Genesis'
He ain't pa**ing his cla**es, cuz he's too busy
Listening to music from cla**ic to fusion
Causing ma**ive confusion
I'm not a straight A student
But music is what I'll be doing when I'm 94
And this is how I'm living my life
With no filler
Instagram grams, most of my friends was drug dealers
The only mug that they held was a mug shot
That's picture perfect to the criminals in cell blocks
Waiting on release dates, hoping to see more
Of the sun, I gotta blow up like C-4
And change their mind frames from John Gotti and armed robbery
Because i can hear em saying loudly (I just wanna be somebody)
Hook
