I Am Somebody

Who are you, I was asked today I started to be smart and say only my name Again they asked who are you But this time with a little attitude I am a black young lady Soon to be graduating with my Paralegal degree I may not be graduating to be a lawyer But I am somebody I may not be The perfect liitle girl my dad wants me to be But we both seem to agree That I am somebody Yes, I may not have your money And I may not be wealthy But my mom and dad taught me that I don't have to have big money Just know that I am somebody To you I may be ugly To you I may be pretty But watch what you call me Because I am somebody You may see things in my past that wasn't done perfectly It may now even affect me But don't be so quick to judge me Because I am somebody You may laugh at me Because I don't see myself the way you see me I may not be better than you But I am somebody I don't want to be the President of the United States Or the Ambassador of an overseas country I don't know what my future awaits But there's one thing I do know, that I am somebody There are days when people belittles me Life with them must be going terribly cause they appear to have low self-esteem And feel like a nobody Don't try to get me on that same page 'cause I know that I am somebody I AM SOMEBODY!!!!
