Be Somebody Lyrics – Kevin Gates

People ask me why I wear that towel on my head
I be telling ’em, I wear that towel on my head where I represent the ancestors
And we just feel n!ggas, we wet the towel, wear it on our head to keep ourself cool

Pain and suffering, experience my whole life
Used to pray to God, but He probably won’t reply
Could you send someone to me if you don’t mind?
Stay by my side and stick it out for the long ride

Have you ever needed somebody?
Tired of being broke and want to be somebody
My heart too genuine, sometimes feel I wasn’t built to love
Victim of this cold world, n!gga, difficult to trust
(My heart too genuine, sometimes feel I wasn’t built to love
Victim of this cold world, n!gga, difficult to trust)

My mother died when giving birth to me, they brought her back
Immaculate conception, to be absent from the body then you in the holy presence
All the angels, stars around her when somebody mention Kevin
Guess it can’t be no coincidences that it rhyme with heaven

Everybody hating me, black s*it, narcotic selling
Do what you want, every time I go to jail, ain’t do no telling
Grandma done put her arms around me, told me be more careful
Used to feel like I was cursed, I know my worth now, I know better

I sit high, but I look low and all of mine gon’ be protected
Could you do me a little favor if you’re listening to this message?
Don’t you ever let nobody tell you ain’t no blessing
Don’t you ever let nobody tell you you ain’t special
Don’t you ever let nobody tell you you ain’t special
I said don’t you ever let nobody tell you you ain’t special

Pain and suffering, experience my whole life
Used to pray to God, but He probably won’t reply
Could you send someone to me if you don’t mind?
Stay by my side and stick it out for the long ride

Have you ever needed somebody?
Tired of being broke and want to be somebody
My heart too genuine, sometimes feel I wasn’t built to love
Victim of this cold world, n!gga, difficult to trust

Wrote to Hill Moore, but I guess he ain’t get the letter
System got Lucas wrong, he been gone since I was 11
Every lawyer say he coming home, it gets so depressing
Meanwhile the family’s stressing, trying to put it back together

(??) pair of children grown now, instead of asking questions
And they look at me for answers and I don’t know what to tell ’em
God looks so much like Mazi, (??)
Told my mom, you ever need me, bump the line and imma (??)

Better know I spread my wings, you surrounded by the steppa
You better know I’m a big eagle if you’re listening to this message
Don’t you ever let nobody tell you ain’t no blessing
Don’t you ever let nobody tell you you ain’t special

Pain and suffering, experience my whole life
Used to pray to God, but He probably won’t reply
Could you send someone to me if you don’t mind?
Stay by my side and stick it out for the long ride

Have you ever needed somebody?
Tired of being broke and want to be somebody
My heart too genuine, sometimes feel I wasn’t built to love
Victim of this cold world, make it difficult to trust

(My heart too genuine, sometimes feel I wasn’t built to love
Victim of this cold world, make it difficult to trust
Built to love, make it difficult to trust)
