I Am Somebody (Parts 1 & 2) - Johnnie Taylor

Written by：Arthur Snyd

I am somebody yeah

You are somebody yeah

A lawyer is somebody

Though he loses every case that he pleads

A doctor is still somebody

Though he gives out the wrong remedy

Now I may not have shoes

To put on my feet

I may not have shoes to eat

Alright now I'll tell you I am somebody

Every man and woman is somebody

Though you're up in society

Tell me where would you be

Without everyday people like me

You can make it watch me make it

Watch me make it I'm gonna make it

I am somebody yeah

You are somebody

Old Martin was somebody

Before he ever started march on Washington

Old Bobby was somebody

Before his campaign for President begun

You may not have a place to lay your head

The clothes on your back

May be nothing but shreds

But you are somebody

Every man is somebody

There's some good in every man

Give him respect and give him a chance

And surely surely he'll understand

You can make it

Oh watch me watch me make it

Now watch me watch me make it

I'm gonna I'm gonna make it

'Cause I am somebody

Oh oh oh yeah you are somebody

I am somebody

You are somebody

Oh hey stand up
