Lyrical Analysis of...
Be Somebody — Remix9/22
- prod. elie
- **[Intro]**
- Yeah
- Look—
- I came from the silence, now they hear me loud
- Used to feel invisible inside the crowd
- I just wanna be somebody
- Somebody they remember
- **[Chorus]**
- I wanna be somebody, more than just a name
- More than all the nights I spent runnin’ from the pain
- City lights blur when I’m switchin’ through the lanes
- If I lose myself tonight, will you love me just the same?
- I wanna be somebody, I can’t fade away
- Built it from the ground, I got somethin’ left to say
- Clouds over my head, but I’m searchin’ for the rays
- If tomorrow never comes, I made something out today
- **[Verse 1]**
- Used to stare at the ceiling, dreamin’ bigger than the room
- Now I’m movin’ through the city with the shadows and the moon
- Everybody wants the shine, they don’t see what it consumes
- Had to water every seed before I ever saw it bloom
- Phone full of numbers, still I’m feelin’ on my own
- Funny how they call you family when they see you gettin’ known
- I was workin’ through the silence, buildin’ kingdoms out of stone
- Now the same ones overlooked me wanna say they always known
- I don’t need a crown, I just need a little peace
- Tryna turn these broken moments into somethin’ I can keep
- Every scar became a story, every loss became a key
- If the whole world forgets me, I remember who I be
- **[Chorus]**
- I wanna be somebody, more than just a name
- More than all the nights I spent runnin’ from the pain
- City lights blur when I’m switchin’ through the lanes
- If I lose myself tonight, will you love me just the same?
- I wanna be somebody, I can’t fade away
- Built it from the ground, I got somethin’ left to say
- Clouds over my head, but I’m searchin’ for the rays
- If tomorrow never comes, I made something out today
- **[Verse 2]**
- Late nights, cold air, headlights paint the street
- Whole world movin’ fast, but I’m steady on my feet
- Had some people disappear when I was down beneath
- Now they reachin’ for my hand when they see me reach my peak
- I ain’t chasin’ validation, I been chasin’ what is real
- Money never fixed the emptiness you’re scared enough to feel
- So I’m ridin’ with my windows down, lettin’ everything reveal
- Every dream I kept inside me, I’ma finally make it real
- Maybe being somebody ain’t the cameras or the praise
- Maybe it’s surviving every dark and lonely phase
- Maybe it’s lookin’ in the mirror, finally proud of what you made
- I don’t need the world to know me—
- I just need to know my name
- **[Outro]**
- I just wanna be somebody
- Even if nobody sees
- Turned the weight into a purpose
- Turned the hurt into a dream
- Yeah
- Be somebody.
