Somebody
Bantu & Dr. Chaii Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't want nobody
I don't need nobody
Why my friends tellin' me I need to see somebody
I just want to be somebody to you
I just want to be somebody

I don't want nobody
I don't need nobody
Why my friends tellin' me I need to see somebody
I just want to be somebody to you
I just want to be somebody

Ain't no changin what I am right?
Searchin' for peace but I can't find nothin'
Halfway beaming what the man like,
Out in the street lookin Damn right stuntin'
Or stuck in my head like my next track.
Stick to the plan if I can't I'm buckin
I'm Staring at my phone for a text back
Now I'm so faded that I Cant type fuck it
I'm anti bluffing, I'm high on biness
I'm scared of commitment yet I slide right in it
And My ride tinted
I hide right in it
If I rent it for a week than I'll spend one night in it
I know,
Seems like switching sides right?
Always always always on that high life
Or I want l to die life
Do I want the limelight?
I guess I'll find out whenever the times right

I don't want nobody
I don't need nobody
Why my friends tellin me I need to see somebody
I just want to be somebody to you
I just want to be somebody

I don't want nobody
I don't need nobody
Why my friends tellin me I need to see somebody
I just want to be somebody to you
I just want to be somebody

Somebody important
I'm hot, man I'm scorching
My bitch, man she gorgeous
If I only I could keep her
I'm crazy, I'm manic
I'm angry, I panic
My flow is Atlantic
Be blowing up your speakers
I'm dodgin', side stepping
I'm mobbin', I'm threatening
I'm toxic, I'm heaven
I'm in love with your features
So come now, move closer
I'm fucked up, im sober
I'm undone, I'm undone
I want to be someone

I just want to be somebody to you
I just want to be somebody




I just want to be somebody to you
I just want to be somebody

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are about the struggle between wanting to be independent and not needing anyone, yet also desiring to be important and wanted by someone else. The singer repeats the phrase "I don't want nobody, I don't need nobody" to emphasize their individuality and express that they are content as they are. However, their friends keep telling them that they need to see somebody, most likely to find a partner or maintain social connections.


The lyrics also reveal the singer's insecurity and uncertainty about their place in the world. They are searching for something, possibly inner peace or a meaningful connection, but can't seem to find it. They mention being stuck in their own thoughts, making reckless decisions, and questioning their ambition. The repeated line "I just want to be somebody to you" suggests that they want validation and acceptance from someone they care about.


Overall, this song explores the complex and contradictory nature of human desires and emotions.
