Fort Minor - Be Somebody lyrics

Mike: This is a story of them against us, win or lose Forcing your feet into someone else's shoes Everybody's got something to say, that we ought to Live their way, what we're doing's not okay In this world everybody's got a chip on Both sides of the neck, got no respect Wait up a sec You ever feel like the pressure is Too much to take, too much weight? Ladies and gentlemen If anybody can hear me right now please shout back We're not the only ones feeling so trapped In the 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 want to do is scream back Holly / Tak / Mike: Gonna be sombody (For anybody telling me I can't) Gonna be someone (For anyone who told me I had no chance) Gonna be somebody (I'm telling you the time has come) 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, lemme say it again In this world everybody's got a chip on Both sides of the neck, got no respect Wait up a sec When I was young they said the Odds of making it were slim to none Ladies and, f** it I'm tired of them saying the dream you have Doesn't exist, telling you you're worthless saying you should quit Basically telling you that you'll never be sh** 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 want to do is scream back Lupe Fiasco: They're gonna think you're crazy Mumbling to yourself in the basement all day Uh-uh-uh-ing and to yourself My pops didn't dig it with shoveling it to myself My boys used to get it they dug it because they felt My undertaking took me I was making in my stealth A wealth of rhymes of crazy I would chuckle to myself Then they went into the mental rolodex See I knew 'em by heart like a brain in my chest Then I took 'em to school where subjects were getting felt Books under my seat notebook laying on my desk My teacher's like, "Mr. Jaco?" "Yes?" "With all that knowledge, you ain't trying to college Be a lawyer or a doctor, get a whole lot of dollars Rather degrade woman and glorify violence?" Well the work that works for me might not work for you No homework, I got work to do
