Be Somebody — Remix9/22

**[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.
