Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everybody wanna be somebody
Everybody wanna be somebody
[Verse 2]
Look away a gwan upon the acre
Every man a turn entertainer
I'm guessing everybody wanna be somebody
[Verse 3]
Hollywood dreams get to Sonia
And so she pack up and fly out to California
Undressing, everybody wanna be somebody
[Verse 4]
If you catch up in a scuffle with a youngster
That want to build him name up as a gangster
Don't test him, everybody wanna be somebody
[Verse 5]
Who am I to defend or oppose this dread?
If that's what they must do just to be noticed
More blessing, everybody wanna be somebody
More blessing, everybody wanna be somebody
More blessing, everybody wanna be somebody
[Verse 6]
Don't deny the youth the opportunity
Just because him come from a certain community
No, everybody wanna be somebody
[Verse 7]
You see the little woman what you have as helper
Give a helping hand, better you help her
Oh, everybody wanna be somebody
[Verse 8]
The big man what drive him car
The juvenile what selling the star
I'm saying, everybody wanna be somebody
[Verse 9]
Who am I to defend or oppose this dread?
If that's what they must do just to be noticed
More blessing, everybody wanna be somebody
More blessing, everybody wanna be somebody
More blessing, everybody wanna be somebody
[Verse 10]
Everybody wanna be somebody
