I Am Somebody - Kendrick Lamar

When I was younger, mama had said one day I'll be a star
Handful of singers, one of these dollars gon' add up tomorrow
Cadillac Brougham, pull up slowly, whistlin' El DeBarge
Tap on my shoulder, he said whatever I do, better do it with heart

I am somebody, I am
I am somebody, I am (I am)
(I am, I am, I am)

I'm in the water, so I feel like salt
[?] the [?], I [?] love and adore, say
Trees are fallin', oh, coming late for four [?]
I [?] the [?], they evolvin' and rollin' [?]
I mean, some of them fallin' "ba, ba, ba"
I mean

Hey, do you wanna play?
Pussy that get you excited, do you wanna taste?
I be in your dreams, I be in the fire
[?], [?] desire
Oh, you don't love me no more
What, you don't love me no more?
Oh, you don't love me no more
What, you don't love me no more?
Oh, you don't love me no more (I be in your dreams, I be in the fire)
What, you don't love me no more?
Oh, you don't love me no more ([?], [?] desire)
What, you don't love me no more? (Huh, huh)

In a drop-top [?] ([?])
[?] ([?])
[?] ([?])
Fallin' but [?] God stop (Fallin' but)
(Silence) [?] faints ([?])
[?] ([?])
[?] faints ([?])
I might tolerate (tolerance)
[?] ([?])
Dreams as ([?])
And a lot [?] ([?])
[?] ([?])
Gettin' [?] ([?])
I didn't mean dreams and ([?])
I'm a [?] ([?])

Hey, do you wanna play?
Pussy that get you excited, do you wanna taste?
I be in your dreams, I be in the fire
[?], [?] desire
Oh, you don't love me no more
What, you don't love me no more?
Oh, you don't love me no more
What, you don't love me no more?
Oh, you don't love me no more (I be in your dreams, I be in the fire)
What, you don't love me no more?
Oh, you don't love me no more ([?], [?] desire)
What, you don't love me no more? (Huh, huh)

Facin' four finger rings
Drug dealin' and bitches both in s-ini-ync
You only wanted to be king
Ten million in cash was an extreme
Chastised me 'till I got it right, ah
I was shy but I always wanted your advice
Summoned your ghost when I felt weak, ah
That's the transfered energy of a black sheep
Hey, when I was younger, mama once said one day I'll be a star
Maybe brighter than tomorrow, I fly if I ever fall
See the water in my E-Y-E, huh
Steppin' on steppers was the POV, huh
Who would I be if I ain't used my voice? Tuh
I am the flowerchild of D-O-C, ah
I am the savant of the hallway watchers
I am the confessions of all my chakras
Lift up my hands to the heavens and pull
Back to my God, that's a heavy renewal
Remember when I wanted to be like you
Two Gemini's both living out our truth
I find it funny we nothing alike
But I still call your name in light of the fight

When I was younger, mama had said one day I'll be a star
Handful of singers, one of these dollars gon' add up tomorrow
Cadillac Brougham, pull up slowly, whistlin' El DeBarge
Tap on my shoulder, he said whatever I do better do it with heart

I am somebody, I am
I am somebody, I am (I am)

Ma-ma-se, ma-ma-sa, ma-ma-coo-sa (Hee-hee)
Ma-ma-se, ma-ma-sa, ma-ma-coo-sa (Hee-hee-hee)
Ma-ma-se, ma-ma-sa, ma-ma-coo-sa (Hee-hee)
Ma-ma-se, ma-ma-sa, ma-ma-coo-sa (Save the world)
Ma-ma-se, ma-ma-sa, ma-ma-coo-sa (I like that)
Ma-ma-se, ma-ma-sa, ma-ma-coo-sa (Be like us)
Ma-ma-se, ma-ma-sa, ma-ma-coo-sa (Buy it all)
Ma-ma-se, ma-ma-sa, ma-ma-coo-sa (Baby, stop)
Ma-ma-se, ma-ma-sa, ma-ma-coo-sa ([?])
Ma-ma-se, ma-ma-sa, ma-ma-coo-sa (Hee-hee)
Ma-ma-se, ma-ma-sa, ma-ma-coo-sa
Ma-ma-se, ma-ma-sa, ma-ma-coo-sa
