Somebody Great

[Chorus]
Mi ah tek e whole pot
Mi nuh wan' no plate
Cah mi nuh wan' be nothing but somebody great
Mi ah try long time, still I man ah wait
Cah 'nough years pass
Twenty twenty-one ah mek it here
Haffi build mi house and start elevate
Watch where yuh standing, cah yuh nuh levitate
Di enemy dem ah blend in, watch and ah wait
Cah di world where wi live in nah value different colour snake

[Verse 1]
And mi ah try so long
Wonder Lord God, weh mi do wrong?
So much ah years mi inna music and sing innocent song
Only get ah buzz from time mi start sing 'bout gun
"Evil Eyes", "Arima", "COVID-19", ""911"
Dem nuh do nuh research, so dem seh mi ah pretend gunman
Never know how far mi and mi career come from
I'm not always who I say I am in my song
Friend killer and raper ah mi tek revenge pon

[Verse 2]
And mi nuh too like di attention
Cah 'nough ah dem ah group and ah bandwagon
Harder fi tell di true friend from pagan
That's why mi stay so true to mi damn day one
Mi pray fi mi friend dem nuh see police station
Wi only carry wi gun dem fi protection
God guide my life, anuh next man
Him seh blessings aguh come in my direction (Mhmm)

[Bridge]
Cah fi di new year, bare health and money mi ah pree
Dem ah watch di melanin inna yuh skin, and seh yuh cyan dweet
Nuh play wit' yuh three points inna di damn street
Ghetto yute gwan be weh yuh wan' be
On ah level weh yuh cyan reach

[Chorus]
Mi ah tek e whole pot
Mi nuh wan' no plate
Cah mi nuh wan' be nothing but somebody great
Mi ah try long time, still I man ah wait
Cah 'nough years pass
Twenty twenty-one ah mek it here
Haffi build mi house and start elevate
Watch where yuh standing, cah yuh nuh levitate
Di enemy dem ah blend in, watch and ah wait
Cah di world where wi live in nah value different colour snake

[Verse 3]
Inna fifteen, daddy send mi up inna states
Mi him wan' educate
Inna nineteen, mi tun inna college graduate
Mi bacheloriate
And ah spanish certificate
Jah education ah sumn dem can't take
I just wanna be ah legend wid ah legacy
If yuh nah wish mi good, den yuh dead to mi
Cah mi nah go mek it up ah wid mi energy
And if yuh violate, mi dawg will hit yuh plenty, plenty
Done tell mama seh mi haffi rich by quarter-century
Done lef' all ah mi hater dem in twenty-twenty
Some may know mi as Cristiano, dem ah call mi Zeri
And dem can't stop wi like jealousy and envy
Some ah dem pcket full and yet still, dem bredda belly empty
And it nah go mek sense if yuh nuh know di journey
Gimmi di trophy
Anuh competition Triple O nuh compete
Wul heap ah snake inna di grass, dem see mi trust di concrete
Nuh bite di finger, dem nuh feed yuh, haffi wul yuh own teeth
And anything mi want, mi get up and mi go fi it
Never wait fi nuh lift

[Chorus]
Mi ah tek e whole pot
Mi nuh wan' no plate
Cah mi nuh wan' be nothing but somebody great
Mi ah try long time, still I man ah wait
Cah 'nough years pass
Twenty twenty-one ah mek it here
Haffi build mi house and start elevate
Watch where yuh standing, cah yuh nuh levitate
Di enemy dem ah blend in, watch and ah wait
Cah di world where wi live in nah value different colour skin

[Verse 1]
And mi ah try so long
Wonder Lord God, weh mi do wrong?
So much ah years mi inna music and sing innocent song
Only get ah buzz from time mi start sing 'bout gun
"Evil Eyes", "Arima", "COVID-19", ""911"
Dem nuh do nuh research, so dem seh mi ah pretend gunman
Never know how far mi and mi career come from
I'm not always who I say I am in my song
Friend killer and raper ah mi tek revenge pon

[Chorus]
Mi ah tek e whole pot
Mi nuh wan' no plate
Cah mi nuh wan' be nothing but somebody great
Mi ah try long time, still I man ah wait
Cah 'nough years pass
Twenty twenty-one ah mek it here
Haffi build mi house and start elevate
Watch where yuh standing, cah yuh nuh levitate
Di enemy dem ah blend in, watch and ah wait
Cah di world where wi live in nah value different colour snake
