[Intro: Dre]
This is, fo sho
This is, fo sho
Ha ha, Beat Novocaine
Yeah
[Verse 1: Dre]
One of them jump-out boys, jackin' toys out their cars, I remember
Miami, where it’s 95 degrees in December
That's why the years go by so fast
It seem like yesterday I used to sport that pleather MCM member
Tryin' to be a jack boy, me, Mark and Larry
Used to grab them girls’ ass, run off, trip out and laugh at 'em
And white boys wearin' Edwin jeans
Thought them white girls was pretty
Yo! MTV Raps was the first time I heard a New York rapper
Before that, bass music was the thing that I blasted
Out the boombox, 2Pac, Digital Underground
Thug Life, muhfucka I get around
Come up in the city where they figured us clowns
Disrespected our music, look at us now
Crunk music, all it is is bass music slowed down
We them boys that made New York City proud
How ironic is that?
[Chorus: Dre & Keyshia Cole (Both)]
In due time, one day, just wait
I'ma be somebody, yo, tell somebody
I'ma, I'ma make it happen
You'll see, I'mma make it happen, uh-huh
In due time, one day, just wait
I’ma be somebody, yo, tell somebody
I’ma, I'ma make it happen
You’ll see, I'mma make it happen, Keyshia, sing it for me!
This is all that I know
Up in my heart and my soul
I'll never give up, oh no
One day, you already know
That I'm somebody, you’re somebody
We're all somebody, I'mma be somebody!
I'm somebody, you're somebody
We're all somebody, I'mma be somebody!
[Verse 2: Dre]
My homie Kanye say "Bush, he don't care 'bout us"
The water rising, yet he won't stare at us
Cameras flashin', can't believe the news
We just tryin' to stay alive, they call it "black people lootin'"?
(Damn)
Well, back to the music, back to the bullshit
Back to when Ja Rule did "New York, New York," we was happenin' producers
"Hate It or Love It," ha-ha, we back on the news clips!
They say we up for some Grammys
I could give two fucks, I ain't tryin' to win no Grammys
I'm tryin' to get my n***as off the block slingin' grams and
Hangin' out of Chevys, sendin' shots, killin' families
Dade County filled with hard-ass n***as
No homo, survived through that Hurricane Wilma
Our grind started in the Continental
Now when I arrive, step out the Bentley Continental, n***a!
[Chorus: Dre & Keyshia Cole (Both)]
In due time, one day, just wait
I'ma be somebody, yo, tell somebody
I'ma, I'ma make it happen
You'll see, I'mma make it happen, uh-huh
In due time, one day, just wait Ohh
I'ma be somebody, yo, tell somebody
I'ma make it happen
I'ma, I'ma make it happen
You'll see, I'mma make it happen, Keyshia, sing it for me!
This is all that I know
(I know) Up in my heart and my soul
I'll never give up, oh no
One day, you already know
That I'm somebody, you're somebody
We're all somebody, I'mma be somebody!
I'm somebody, you're somebody
We're all somebody, I'mma be somebody!
[Outro: Dre & Keyshia Cole]
It's Dade County fo sho, tell everybody you know
It's D-Dre, Beat Novocaine, Keyshia Cole
Can you hear me singin' to you?
I'm somebody, you're somebody
We're all somebody, I'mma be somebody!
It's Dade County fo sho, tell everybody you know
It's D-Dre, Beat Novocaine, Keyshia Cole
I can feel it, yeah
I'm somebody, you're somebody
We're all somebody, I'mma be somebody!
Can you feel it, yeah? Ohhhh
Dade...Dade...Dade
Oohhh, thank you, baby!
