[Verse 1]
[Em]Hey [Bm]peopl[Em]e,[Bm][B][Em][B][Em]
[B]
[Em]we got a little something that we wa[B]nt to tell you all, li[Em]sten, understand.
[B]Yo,
God made one no [Em]bet ter than the other,
every girl becomes a woman, every boy a man.
And while you're [Bm]living in your [B]mansion, [Em]driving big cars,
there's an[B]other on the street, close
sleeping on the [C]ground.
And when you [Bm]walk by, [B]don't [G]act cold -blooded,
cause it just ain't fair [B]to kick a [G]man when
[B]Cause he is somebody
Like I am [Em]somebody
[B]You are somebody
Like I am [Bm]someone[B]
Whether you're here, you're gone
[Em]Right or you're wrong
[G]You were mea[B]nt to be somebody
From the [G]second you're born
Don't [B]criticize and [G]knock one another
It ain't [B]really that hard
to just be a brother, so be [Bm]good, speak up[B],
don't wait for it to happen, life is passing
you by, and homeboy, you're cold and happy,
don't be getting hung up on what you're not,
be proud of what you are and whatever you got,
cause it's [Bm]a cold cruel [B]world causing
kids to cry, if you're hanging your head,
cold kiss and goodbye, stand up for your heritage,
rejudging the fact, cause are you red, white,
tan, yellow, brown or black, cause [Bm]you are
[B]He lik[G]e I a[B]m somebody
He is somebody, like [Bm]I am [B]someone
They are firemen, bankers, messengers, preachers,
[C]brokers, po[B]licemen, executives, teachers,
journalists, janitors, architects, doctors,
restaurant workers, nurses, chief rockers
If you [Bm]see a somebody,
[B]be proud and show [C]it cause every[B]body's somebody
And you know it doesn't matter if you're black,
white, or
Chinese
[C]Livin'[B] in the states or reside overseas
You and I are special, same as [C]everyone else
If you [Bm]don't believe me,
you're only [B]cheatin' yourself
We all got a purpose in life to achieve
[G]An [B]d here's another
that you better believe
[C]That [B]I am somebody
Like you are [C]some[B]body
He is somebody,
[Bm]like[B] I am someone.[Bm]
[G]You got[C] wea[B]lth, good health,
and you're stuck on yourself.
But let me tell you that you're
better than nobody else.
Cause you [Bm]got no s[Em]elf esteem,
[B]so I'm richer.
And when you leave this earth,
you can't take money with ya.
So play your dumb game.
Call me out my name,
but nothing you can do can make me feel [G]shame.
We're [B]all created [G]equal,
we live and we die.
So when you [B]tryin' to bring me down,
I keep [G]my head up high
[B]Don't judge a [Bm]book by its [B]cover,
cause it's [G]never what it seems
Now I [B]know what I'm sayin'
and I feel I gotta speak
That [Bm]I am [B]so[G]mebody
[B]Lik[G]e you[B] are somebody
[Bm]He i[B]s so[B]mebody
[B]Like I am [C]someone
So be yourself
Thanks watching!
