Lyrical Analysis of...
nobody
- Intro:
- Yo, check the mic, one two...
- They called me nobody, yeah, that's what they do.
- But the quiet ones, they always got a story brewing,
- Listen close, 'cause this ain't no ordinary viewing.
- Verse 1:
- Born in the shadows, raised in the doubt,
- Just another face in the crowd, no way out.
- Empty pockets, a vacant stare,
- Cold nights, not a soul to compare.
- They saw a blank slate, a future erased,
- Said, "He's got no potential, no talent, no trace."
- Whispers and snickers, behind my back,
- "He's a ghost, a drifter, stuck on the wrong track."
- No invite to the table, no seat at the feast,
- Just the hunger pangs, growling in the beast.
- Overlooked, understated, truly unseen,
- Living out a forgotten, invisible dream.
- But every dismissal, every turned down plea,
- Was a brick in the wall, built by me.
- Chorus:
- Yeah, they called me NOBODY!
- Nobody saw the vision, nobody heard the plea.
- Nobody but myself, that's who believed in me!
- They called me NOBODY!
- Just a ghost in the street, an echo, a blur.
- Now everybody wanna know, "What happened to her/him, sir?"
- From the bottomless pit, where they left me to die,
- I rose from the ashes, with a fire in my eye.
- I'm NOBODY, yeah, so I got nothing to lose,
- And everything to prove, when I'm singing the blues!
- Verse 2:
- No handouts, no silver spoon feed,
- Just late night sessions, planting the seed.
- Sweat on the pad, blood on the mic,
- Battled the demons, put up my own fight.
- Learned to move silent, move smart, then move loud,
- Escaped from the chains of that invisible shroud.
- Every single 'no' was a fuel to the flame,
- Every closed door just etched my new name.
- The one they dismissed, the one they forgot,
- Was out there grinding, giving all that I got.
- They were chasing distractions, chasing the hype,
- While I was perfecting, getting my stripes.
- From the bottom of the barrel, to the top of the heap,
- While their empires crumbled, mine ran so deep.
- Used to be unheard, unseen, untold,
- Now my story unfolds, worth more than pure gold.
- Chorus:
- Yeah, they called me NOBODY!
- Nobody saw the vision, nobody heard the plea.
- Nobody but myself, that's who believed in me!
- They called me NOBODY!
- Just a ghost in the street, an echo, a blur.
- Now everybody wanna know, "What happened to her/him, sir?"
- From the bottomless pit, where they left me to die,
- I rose from the ashes, with a fire in my eye.
- I'm NOBODY, yeah, so I got nothing to lose,
- And everything to prove, when I'm singing the blues!
- Bridge:
- To all the gatekeepers, the ones who slammed the door,
- The ones who said, "You lack, you won't make it to the shore."
- Look at me now, I ain't looking back no more.
- That 'nobody' you dismissed, just built an empire, pure!
- I don't need your validation, your nod or your praise,
- I found my own lane, through these treacherous maze.
- The power in 'nobody' is the freedom it brings,
- No expectations, just the beat of my own wings.
- Outro:
- Yeah, they called me nobody...
- But this ain't no myth, this ain't no odyssey.
- From the bottom to the top, with a powerful gift,
- The one who was nothing, caused a cultural shift.
- Remember the name? NOBODY. Yeah, that's who I am.
- Turned zero to hero, from silent to slam!
- (Beat fades out slowly with a final, heavy bass note)
- NOBODY.
