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
