Somebody - E-40, Ricco Barrino

I knew when I came in the game it wasn’t gonna be a cakewalk

I wanted the money and fame I told the Lord I’m gon' stop

Selling that candy cane 'fore I get caught by a cop

Shackles and cuffs add chains, might get set up by a narc

Got a couple of kids to raise so it’s a Catch-23

Should I get a job or go back to pushin' the D?

Should I call my plug and ask him to front me a key?

Should I get my recommendation papers for trees

I got bounce-back abilities, get-back skills and ideals

Buy a food truck and start selling Meals on Wheels

Drive a tow truck so that it can help pay the bills

Create an app, get in the tech world and makes some scrill

Make a blap-rider hit record and get a deal

Get out the trap, buy me a house on top of a hill

Sharp as a tack, intelligent hoodlum, that’s how I feel

Platinum plaques all on the wall for real, for real

Yeah, I’m just somebody

Tryin' to really be somebody, yeah

With everything that I do

Stop pocket watching

Hater, baller blocking, yeah

And let me do what I do

(I'm talking about getting to the money)

(E-40 ad-lib: Real walkie talkie)

Deal with it, deal with it

I told 'em that one day that I’ma get it

I’m stubborn, ambitious and money driven

I drank Mangoscoto, that’s what I’m sippin'

Take a swig out the bottle, I’m still ignorant

I smoke gelato like a immigrant

, incinerate

Suckas can’t stop us, we motivate

I got hustle in my bones, in my body and my genetics

Wake up in the morning, do burpees and calisthenics

Hater try to hurt me, gon' need some paramedics

Might not make it through surgery, IVs and anesthetics

Fresh off the lot, not out the Autotrader

My 2017 cost a half an acre

License, insurance and registration on the dash

Case the po-po try to blast (If they blast)

Look, I’m just a man who wants it all

So if you ain’t talking paper around me

Go, get the hell up

I don’t need no one

That don’t got any paper

Yeah, I’m just somebody

Tryin' to really be somebody, yeah

With everything that I do

Stop pocket watching

Hater, baller blocking, yeah

And let me do what I do

(I'm talking about getting to the money)

Yeah, I’m just somebody

Tryin' to really be somebody, yeah

With everything that I do

Stop pocket watching

Hater, baller blocking, yeah

And let me do what I do

(I'm talking about getting to the money)

Have you ever…
