Lyrics

I'll do anything I gotta do to make this bad
And if they don't give it up
I'm takin' everything they had
Ever since a kid, the teacher said that I was bad, bad news
Still, they never wanna help me
So, I get it by myself and say, "Ah"
I would rather be someone
I would rather be someone
I would rather be someone
I would rather be someone
Yo, my nana once told me that I could be somebody
So, I guess it's only right that I tell my kids the same
Yeah, we've been around the world, and we made some decent money
Still apart from the few, nothin' ever really changed
Couple of real guys could tell you what I was like
Used to carry weight, now I travel light
Got to meet some legends, I inspired, it's just a beat
So, keep on movin'
Goldy told me it's time, let's count
So, the states we reside isn't no reflection on our gift
Now, you already know the story so far
Still, it burns like it's Christmas morning
I get that call, they hit a organ, picture fallin' down to my knees
In a river, bawlin'
With J.B.'s last words are still ringin'
I'm tryna cover all 'em things we spoke about
Just so I know you're proud
Looking down with zen, and watching Zel from Berlin
And performing for the crowd
Maybe there'll be some sunshine tomorrow
Beyond the cloud
(I would rather be someone)
Sayings persist, Lord, guide me
I'm tryna make a difference
I would rather be someone
I would rather be someone
I would rather be someone
Be someone, oh
I would rather be someone
Picture me smilin' as I write this
I'm only playin', I'm never smilin' in the slightest
Is rejection really redirection?
Will these exercise illuminate my imperfection?
Now I'm kickin' down these gatekeepers
Doors right off their hinges
Saw my youth fall through my fingers
If they're happy, yeah, just let it be, set 'em free
I can't compete with all your expectations
I'm out here just tryin' to be a better me
Mornin' affirmation, nah
Early bird get the worm
The second mouse, he got the cheese
A couple lessons to be learned
So, stop your stressin', just set this beat
Tell them, "Keep the money"
I would rather be someone
(Atleast I'm happy out here bein' conny)
(I would rather be someone)
I would rather be someone
(I would, oh, yeah)
I would rather be someone
(Rather be, rather be someone)
I would rather be someone
(I would rather be, be, be someone, yeah)
I would rather be someone
I would rather be someone
I would rather be someone
I would rather be someone
I would rather be someone
I would rather be someone
I would rather be someone
I would rather be someone
