To Love Somebody
J. C. Lodge Lyrics

Uh so while the choir sings my needs
In the midst of my personal struggles and desires, I find solace when I hear the choir sing.

To whom it may concern
This message is for everyone who can relate or find value in it.

I want you to be with me
I desire a sense of connection and companionship with others.

To the ones without father figures
This is dedicated to those who lack a nurturing paternal presence in their lives.

And the music help em see the larger picture
The power of music assists them in gaining a broader perspective on life.

I hope i could spark a difference
I aspire to make a positive impact and inspire change.

Cause i understand and get it
I empathize and truly comprehend the challenges and struggles faced by others.

And i'll never be a critic
I choose not to judge or criticize others, but instead offer support and understanding.

Supposed to shine like we acrylic
We are meant to radiate and showcase our true selves, just like the vibrant colors of acrylic.

Supposed to judge you and i didn't
Although it is expected to pass judgment, I chose not to, recognizing and accepting your flaws and strengths.

Cause i could see ups and downs
I acknowledge and appreciate the highs and lows you experience in life.

And i praise you for attempting
I commend and celebrate your efforts, regardless of the outcome.

If you ever felt ignored
To those who have felt disregarded or overlooked

This my way to give attention
This song is my means of bestowing upon you the attention and recognition you deserve.

Like just know
Understand and remember

Today imma love somebody
Today I will show love to someone

Tomorrow imma love somebody
Tomorrow I will continue to express love to another person

Forever imma love somebody
For eternity, I will love and care for others

This my way of reaching out
This is my method of extending support and connection

So i touch somebody
Through my music and message, I hope to touch the lives of others

Give you my light don't stay in the dark
I offer my positivity and guidance to prevent you from remaining in darkness or despair

Give you my hope if you play your part
If you do your best and fulfill your responsibilities, I will provide you with hope and encouragement

Feel like i feel come and take my heart
If you resonate with my emotions, come and accept my genuine love and care

Feel like i feel come and make your mark
If my sentiments strike a chord with you, make a positive impact and leave your own unique imprint

Uh this for the ones who feel lonely
This song is dedicated to those who experience feelings of isolation and loneliness

For the ones who look in the mirror
To those who struggle with self-image and self-acceptance

Don't like what they see
They are dissatisfied with their reflection and the image they perceive

For the girl that's switching her weaves
Specifically addressing the girl who constantly changes her hairstyle using weaves or extensions

And don't think she a queen
Despite her efforts to enhance her appearance, she fails to recognize her own inherent worth and beauty

Taking body selfies for worth
Engaging in the act of taking selfies of her body in search of validation and self-worth

Hoping somebody sees
She desires for someone to acknowledge and appreciate her physical attributes

Instead of that put energy
Rather than investing energy in external validation or appearance-based pursuits

To aspiration and dreams
Redirect that energy towards pursuing personal goals and dreams

Along the way stay focused
Throughout the journey, maintain concentration and determination

High grades and degrees
Strive for excellence in education and pursue higher qualifications

And watch how he treat you
Pay attention to how your partner treats you

Desperation try to keep you
Do not allow desperation to trap or manipulate you

Cause you loved yourself
Because you have a healthy self-love and self-worth

More than anybody else needs to
Your self-love surpasses the need for validation from others

And to my kings feeling hopeless and crushed
Addressing men who may feel devoid of hope and overwhelmed by their circumstances

It's okay to say you need guidance
It is perfectly fine to admit that you require assistance and support

A kiss and a hug
Receiving affection and care in the form of physical gestures

Realize what life could be
Recognize the potential and possibilities that life holds

Before giving it up
Before surrendering and losing hope

Before trying to slit your wrists
Before engaging in self-harm and harming oneself

Or getting lit from some drugs
Or resorting to drug use to numb the pain

You worth more than some opinions
You have inherent value that surpasses the opinions of others

And you stronger than i mentioned
You possess strength beyond what has been previously stated

And you don't need attention
You do not require validation or constant attention from others

To justify why you living
Your existence does not need to be justified by others' approval or attention

Cause i was broke before
Because I experienced a period of financial struggle in the past

A lot of things i wasn't getting
There were many things I lacked or did not receive

Till i looked in the mirror
Until I took a moment to reflect on my own self-image

And thanked god for my existence
Expressing gratitude to a higher power for the gift of life

And i love you too
I also extend my love and care to you
