Be Somebody feat. Elijah Kelley From Star Season 2 by Star Cast Lyrics
[Verse 1]:
Oh
Lightning only sparks my freedom
Broken only makes me whole
And a star can't last forever, but I let hope row the boat
Everybody gotta fight their demons
Everybody gotta face that truth, yeah
That our time won't last forever, but there's a reason God made you you
Through all the hard
Through the pain
Lonely nights
Through the shame
'Cause the start of the change is in your DNA, yeah
[Chorus]:
It's written in your blood (yeah)
Blood (yeah)
Blood (yeah)
Your blood
Before the roof on the world was started, you were gonna be somebody (your blood)
Your blood (x3)
So, as long as there's a beat where your heart is, you are gonna be somebody
[Interlude: Martin Luther King Jr.]
We are able to say to ourselves now that we do count. I want to say to everybody under the sound of my voice this afternoon, that you are somebody. Don't let anybody make you feel that you are nobody. You are somebody. You have dignity. You have worth. Don't be ashamed of yourself and don't be ashamed of your heritage. Don't be ashamed of your color. Don't be ashamed of your hair. I am black and beautiful, and not ashamed to say it
[Chorus]:
It's written in your blood (yeah)
Blood (yeah)
Blood (yeah)
Your blood
Before the roof on the world was started, you were gonna be somebody (your blood)
Your blood (x3)
So, as long as there's a beat where your heart is, you are gonna be somebody
