I Am Somebody (part 1) Lyrics

I Am Somebody (part 1) lyrics

I am somebody, yeah

You are somebody, yeah



A lawyer is somebody

Though he loses every case that he pleads

A doctor is still somebody

Though he gives out the wrong remedy



Now, I may not have shoes

To put on my feet

I may not have a [Incomprehensible] to eat



Alright, now, I'll tell you I am somebody

Every man and woman is somebody



Though you're up in society

Tell me where would you be

Without everyday people like me



You can make it, watch me make it

Watch me make it, I'm gonna make it



I am somebody, yeah

You are somebody



Old Martin was somebody

Before he ever started march on Washington

Old Bobby was somebody

Before his campaign for President begun



You may not have a place to lay your head

The clothes on your back

May be nothing but shreds



But you are somebody

Every man is somebody



There's some good in every man

Give him respect and give him a chance

And surely, surely he'll understand



You can make it

Oh, watch me, watch me make it

Now, watch me, watch me make it

I'm gonna, I'm gonna make it



'Cause I am somebody

Oh, oh, oh, yeah, you are somebody

I am somebody

You are somebody



Oh hey, stand up
