Be Somebody
Zack Knight Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm tired of tryna prove myself to everybody
They don't know what I go through
In time you'll see that I'm just not anybody
I'll change the world for me and you
Cause my mama told me
You can do anything if you put your mind into it
Keep trying cause you'll get there in the end
Try to avoid the easy option
When you're chasing fame and fortune
That's the only reason why.

I'll never lose hope, I'll just keep on going
Cause every single night is mine for the taking
So everybody out there put your fist up in the air
Hold your head up and repeat after me

I'm gonna be somebody, be somebody
Be somebody tonight
Why can't people just be happy for each other?
Instead of tryna put each other down
Cause even when success is just round the corner
My feet will always stay on the ground
Cause my mama told me
You can do anything if you put your mind into it
Keep trying cause you'll get there in the end
Try to avoid the easy option
When you're chasing fame and fortune

That's the only reason why.

I'll never lose hope, I'll just keep on going
Cause every single night is mine for the taking
So everybody out there put your fist up in the air
Hold your head up and repeat after me

I'm gonna be somebody, be somebody
Be somebody tonight
I've dreamt of this moment
Ever since I was young
Said I wouldn't make it
But look what I've become
No valley too deep
No mountain too high
Nothing can break me
It's my time to shine
Yeah, it's my time to shine, to shine

I'll never lose hope, I'll just keep on going
Cause every single night is mine for the taking
So everybody out there put your fist up in the air
Hold your head up and repeat after me





I'm gonna be somebody, be somebody
Be somebody tonight
