1
I want to be somebody
2
I want to make a difference
3
Little boy caught in a drive-by
4
Witnessed the killer who made his daddy die,
5
And 'cause he identified and signed the dotted line
6
He could feel it in his stomach, he signed away his life
7
Little boy who once was the lader of his class
8
The little source of joy, always neatly dressed
9
Now would hang his head, and be left crying at his desk
10
Was found with his mother, lying in her lap
11
With two bullets in his chest
12
And, on my god, what is this madness?
13
I will not let it kill my gladness
14
And, oh my god what is this madness?
15
My joy inside will send this message
16
I want to be somebody
17
I wnat to make a difference
18
For we are all children of the Mother
19
I want to be somebody
20
I want to make a difference
21
For we are all children of the Father
22
Outspoken man, leading sisters and brothers
23
Picked himself up from husting, drugs and gutters
24
Doing time on the inside, he found a higher power
25
Now, back with a mission to help us help each other
26
Respected from bourgeoisie to homeless in the street
27
From universities, Africa, the Middle East
28
And through the treats of death he spoke truth and set men free
29
But the power of the truth made enemies of the weak
30
He was killed by his own people
31
And, on my god, what is this madness?
32
I will not let it kill my gladness
33
And, oh my god what is this madness?
34
My joy inside will send this message
35
I want to be somebody
36
I wnat to make a difference
37
For we are all children of the Mother
38
I want to be somebody
39
I want to make a difference
40
For we are all children
41
Ignite This Fire inside, this light that is the Truth
42
Shake off the system's chains, no longer be their fool
43
In the face of brutality, show the other cheek
44
Trigger-happy policing will never kill our dignity
45
And, on my god, what is this madness?
46
I will not let it kill my gladness
47
And, oh my god what is this madness?
48
My joy inside will send this message
49
Lift up your heart and See
50
Open your heart and See
51
Lift up your voice and Sing...
52
I want to be somebody
53
I wnat to make a difference
54
For we are all children of the Mother
55
I want to be somebody
56
I want to make a difference
57
For we are all children of the Father
