Jerrell Johnson - Somebody Like Me lyrics

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 Hook- 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
