[Verse 1]
See I was down, down, thought I never could get back up
Many doubt, doubt, thought I never was good enough
It may sound, sound like I really gave it all up
Many times I broke down stressed and fed up
Took a little while, now I'm back on my feet standing up
I smile 'cause they thought it was all based on luck
Many frown when I thought it was all peace and love
See the words I've been citing by
[Pre-Chorus]
Came from mama to a young Mawuli
[Chorus]
Don't loose your style on the way
Don't loose your style on the way
My mama said, never give up on your faith
The goal might be one inch away
My mama said, believe in a better day
Believe in a better day
My mama said, never give up on your faith
She looked at me one day and said
[Post-Chorus]
You can be who you wanna
You can be who you wanna
You can, you can
You can be who you wanna be
I know I can be somebody
I know that I can be somebody
You can be who you wanna
You can be who you wanna
You can, you can
You can be who you wanna be
I know I can be somebody
Don't you wanna be somebody?
[Verse 2]
You might get knocked down, thinking
Damn, why life so tough?
Might get let down by someone you thought you could trust
And It takes time to get back around
Don't rush piece of mind
Get your state of mind right is a must
If you're down, down, down, don't give up
Just shut down all the bad vibes, give it up
Get around good energy and the people that you love
See the words that I'm telling you
[Pre-Chorus]
Came from mama to a young Mawuli
[Chorus]
Don't loose your style on the way
Don't loose your style on the way
My mama said, never give up on your faith
The goal might be one inch away
My mama said, believe in a better day
Believe in a better day
My mama said, never give up on your faith
She looked at me one day and said
[Post-Chorus]
You can be who you wanna
You can be who you wanna
You can, you can
You can be who you wanna be
I know I can be somebody
I know that I can be somebody
You can be who you wanna
You can be who you wanna
You can, you can
You can be who you wanna be
I know I can be somebody
Don't you wanna be somebody?
[Bridge]
Don't loose your style on the way
Don't loose your style on the way
Never give up on your faith
The goal might be one inch away
Believe in a better day
Believe in a better day
Never give up on your faith
She looked at me one day and said
[Break]
Don't you wanna be somebody?
I know I can be somebody
I know I can be somebody
