I Am Somebody Lyrics


(To me, to me)
Yea, yo
(To me, to me)
Yo, raise the level, bass bottom to treble
Forever keep it ghetto
Funk and Heavy Metal
Fuck the Devil
Unify the rebel
Whistle like a kettle
With a fly acapello
Smooth and mellow
Locked load and settle
Shine through times with rhymes bright like yellow
Taste and swallow, lead and never follow
Break it like a bottle
Inspire like a role model
Say, I am
(I am)

Somebody
(Somebody)
Say, I am
(I am)
Somebody
(Somebody)
Yo, my soul, bounce Rock and Roll
Tumble with the rhythm
Heat the mic when it's cold
I was told be bold
Whether platinum or gold
Keep it solid
Do the knowledge
Til' I reach my goal
My hunger pain thunder
Lumberjack the fifth wonder
I never slumber 'cuz I keep it on the under
My pulse beat for people in the street
Ghetto M U S I C
(We bring the heat)
That African soul
Clap black power impact
Who said ghetto rap was all about a dope sack?
A pimp slap or a big black gatt
Fuck around and get jacked
For your rhymes where I live at
Uh, I'm not a gangsta but I boogie wit beats
No gang affiliation in my lyrics or speech
But still I keep it straight hood hop techniques
South central fundamentals J5 emcees
And it's on
Say, I am
(I am)
Somebody
(Somebody)
Say, I am
(I am)
Somebody
(Somebody)
Who's to say if I choose to make moves today
Whether I win or lose or I end up on the news today
Amuse but never confuse
Still got dues to pay
You abuse elegant rules when you use cliches
They got you sittin' on the edge of your seat
(Creatin' beef)
Mark of the beast
(Code on the street)
Cease and decease
Never the least
Let me repeat
The situation gets sticky like the badge on police
We individually driven in the beginnin'
We winnin'
Six men and a venomous independent decision and clear vision
Pretendin' was never a possibility
I got to kill it
Because I want to be it
The poet to win a Pulitzer prize
Who wouldn'™t survive?
The fullest of vibes
Deliberate surprise
When bullets the size
Of quarters arrive
And slaughter your lives
We trying to counteract that
Unifying these ballers and backpacks
With knowledge and fact tracks
I am
(I am)
Somebody
(Somebody)
Say, I am
(I am)
Somebody
(Somebody)
Yo, my soul, infiltrate birth control
And control guns Huey P used to hold
I breathe life and through the sixties
Voted most likely to get busy
Inner city flash Jiggy burn
Phillies and things
And we boogie to the bang
Sunshine and rain
Why you cats be talkin' that pimp crap in jail
I corresponded with a nigga who can barely spell
I know the situation oh so well
(So well)
I done seen it in 3D
It ain't hard to tell
Why you bang for your turf chain girl or your man
I be banging for Islam in a spot in Sudan
Cuz I can't solve or stop or put foot to this
The hottest brother on the block couldn't cook to this
J5 drop the verse beat hook to this
And if you want a fly jam you should look to this
So
(So)
Raise the level, bass bottom to treble
Forever keep it ghetto
Funk and Heavy Metal
Fuck the Devil
Unify the rebel
Whistle like a kettle
With a fly acapello
Smooth and mellow
Locked load and settle
Shine through times with rhymes bright like yellow
Taste and swallow, lead and never follow
Break it like a bottle
Inspire like a role model
Say, I am
(I am)
Somebody
(Somebody)
Say, I am
(I am)
Somebody
(Somebody)
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
Who are you?
(Somebody)
Who are you?
(Somebody)
Who are you?
(Somebody)
Who are you?
(Somebody)

Jurassic 5 was originally a six-piece hip-hop crew that was formed in 1993 at the Los Angeles, California venue Good Life. Rappers Chali 2na, Akil, Zaakir aka Soup, Mark 7even, and turntable maestros DJ Nu-Mark and DJ Cut Chemist came together from two separate crews, the Rebels of Rhythm and Unity Committee. Cut Chemist left the band in 2006 to pursue a solo career.

The group debuted for TVT Records in 1995 with the single for Unified Rebelution. Their acclaimed position in the 1990s alternative hip-hop movement, alongside artists including Company Flow, Black Star and Kool Keith, was confirmed when the Jurassic 5 EP was released in December 1997.

The EP was later repackaged with additional tracks and released in December 1998 as the band's full-length debut album, entitled Jurassic 5 LP.

The tracks harked back to the old school attitude of new york's Native Tongues Posse, the seminal late 1980s coalition of artists who reaffirmed rap's social agenda, which included De La Soul, the Jungle Brothers and A Tribe Called Quest. This was evident on the song Concrete Schoolyard ("Let's take it back to the concrete streets/Original beats from real live MCs"), and the album even provided the troupe with a surprise uk Top 40 single when it reached number 35 in November 1998. The other stand-out track, Jayou, was built around a hypnotic flute loop from Pleasure Web's Music Man Part 1 (Music Man Part 1).

In 1999, Jurassic 5 signed to Interscope Records, who re-released the Jurassic 5 EP. This was followed by their second album (their first on a major label), Quality Control.

In 2002, they released their third album, Power In Numbers, which was followed by touring with the newly-revived Lollapalooza festival in the summer of 2003.

Their latest album, Feedback, was released on July 25, 2006.

On March 21, 2007, in an interview with the Australian news outlet News.com.au, Zaakir confirmed that the band would be breaking up after their current and final live-tour.
