(To me, to me)

Yea, yo

(To me, to me) Yo, raise the level, bass bottom to treble

Forever keep it ghetto

Funk and Heavy Metal

*** the Devil

Unify the rebel

Whistle like a kettle

With a fly acapello

Smooth and mellow

Locked load and settle

Shine through times with rhymes bright like yellow

Taste and swallow, lead and never follow

Break it like a bottle

Inspire like a role model Say, I am

(I am)

Somebody

(Somebody) Say, I am

(I am)

Somebody

(Somebody) Yo, my soul, bounce Rock and Roll

Tumble with the rhythm

Heat the mic when it's cold

I was told be bold

Whether platinum or gold

Keep it solid

Do the knowledge

Til' I reach my goal

My hunger pain thunder

Lumberjack the fifth wonder

I never slumber 'cuz I keep it on the under

My pulse beat for people in the street

Ghetto M U S I C

(We bring the heat)

That African soul

Clap black power impact

Who said ghetto rap was all about a dope sack?

A pimp slap or a big black gatt

*** around and get jacked

For your rhymes where I live at

Uh, I'm not a gangsta but I boogie wit beats

No gang affiliation in my lyrics or speech

But still I keep it straight hood hop techniques

South central fundamentals J5 emcees

And it's on Say, I am

(I am)

Somebody

(Somebody) Say, I am

(I am)

Somebody

(Somebody) Who's to say if I choose to make moves today

Whether I win or lose or I end up on the news today

Amuse but never confuse

Still got dues to pay

You abuse elegant rules when you use cliches They got you sittin' on the edge of your seat

(Creatin' beef)

Mark of the beast

(Code on the street)

Cease and decease

Never the least

Let me repeat

The situation gets sticky like the badge on police

We individually driven in the beginnin'

We winnin'

Six men and a venomous independent decision and clear vision

Pretendin' was never a possibility

I got to kill it

Because I want to be it

The poet to win a Pulitzer prize

Who wouldn't survive? The fullest of vibes

Deliberate surprise

When bullets the size

Of quarters arrive

And slaughter your lives

We trying to counteract that

Unifying these ballers and backpacks

With knowledge and fact tracks I am

(I am)

Somebody

(Somebody) Say, I am

(I am)

Somebody

(Somebody) Yo, my soul, infiltrate birth control

And control guns Huey P used to hold

I breathe life and through the sixties

Voted most likely to get busy

Inner city flash Jiggy burn

Phillies and things

And we boogie to the bang

Sunshine and rain

Why you cats be talkin' that pimp *** in jail

I corresponded with a nigga who can barely spell

I know the situation oh so well

(So well)

I done seen it in 3D

It ain't hard to tell

Why you bang for your turf chain girl or your man

I be banging for Islam in a spot in Sudan

Cuz I can't solve or stop or put foot to this

The hottest brother on the block couldn't cook to this

J5 drop the verse beat hook to this

And if you want a fly jam you should look to this

So

(So) Raise the level, bass bottom to treble

Forever keep it ghetto

Funk and Heavy Metal

*** the Devil

Unify the rebel

Whistle like a kettle

With a fly acapello

Smooth and mellow

Locked load and settle

Shine through times with rhymes bright like yellow

Taste and swallow, lead and never follow

Break it like a bottle

Inspire like a role model Say, I am

(I am)

Somebody

(Somebody) Say, I am

(I am)

Somebody

(Somebody) Hey hey

Hey hey

Hey hey

Hey hey Who are you?

(Somebody)

Who are you?

(Somebody)

Who are you?

(Somebody)

Who are you?

(Somebody)
