Kevin Gates - Be Somebody Lyrics

People ask me why I wear that towel on my head
I be tellin' 'em, I wear that towel on my head where I represent the ancestors
And we was field niggas
We used to wet the towel and wear it on our head to keep ourself cool

Pain and suffering experienced 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)

My mother died when givin' 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 hatin' me, black sheep, narcotic sellin'
Say what you want, every time I go to jail, ain't do no tellin'
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 said high, but I look low, and all of mine gon' be protected
Could you do me a little favor if you're listenin' 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 experienced 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

Wrote a hell of more, but I guess he ain't get the letter
System got me, Luke is wrong, he been gone since I was eleven
Every lawyer say he comin' home, it gets so depressin'
Meanwhile the family's stressin', tryin' to put it back together
Just a pair of children grown now, instead of asking questions
And they look at me for answers, and I don't know what to tell them
God looks so much like mine, just gave me rhyme for a second
Told her, "Mommy, you ever need me, bump the line, and I'ma zealot"
Better know I spread my wings, you surrounded by them steppers
You better know I'm a big eagle if you're listenin' 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 experienced 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)

(Make it difficult to trust)
