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.
