letra de be somebody - tlc
i want to be somebody
i want to make a difference
little boy caught in a drive-by
witnessed the killer who made his daddy die,
and ’cause he identified and signed the dotted line,
he could feel it in his stomach, he signed away his life
little boy who once was the leader of his cl-ss
the little source of joy, always neatly dressed
now would hang his head and be left crying at his desk,
was found with his mother, lying in her lap
with two bullets in his chest
bridge:
and, oh my god, what is this madness?
i will not let it kill my gladness
and, oh my god, what is this madness?
my joy inside will send this message
chorus:
i want to be somebody
i want to make a difference,
for we all are children of the mother
i want to be somebody
i want to make a difference,
for we all are children of the father
outspoken man, leading sisters and brothers,
picked himself up from hustling, drugs and gutters
doing time on the inside, he found a higher power
now, back with a mission to help us help each other
respected from bourgeoisie to homeless in the street
from universities, africa, the middle east
and through the threats of death he spoke truth and set men free
but the power of the truth made enemies of the weak
he was killed by his own people
bridge
chorus
ignite this fire inside, this light that is the truth
shake off the system’s chains, no longer be their fool
in the face of brutality, show the other cheek
trigger-happy policing will never kill our dignity
bridge
chorus
