Somewhere

[Introduction]
Just want to let you know that
Even though things might be going good for you
There’s somebody out there somewhere that’s going through it
We can’t never forget that
Where we learn to recognize it where we see it
Maybe we can stop somebody from goin’ over the edge
Check it

[Verse 1]
Somewhere, there’s a family living in its house
Two months behind on the rent, about to get kicked out
A homeless man laying in pain under the freeway, sick, tired and weak ‘cause he hasn’t eaten in three days
Somewhere, a child is in school about to clap back because his clothes are old so he gets roasted and laughed at
The innocence of a young girl has been corrupted because she just was molested by somebody she trusted
Somewhere, out there, a scared pregnant girl is about to abort a child that could possibly save the world
It’s a man on the edge now, back against the wall with a pistol to his head getting ready to end it all
Somewhere it’s a dude in his room on a computer, searching for guns, 'bout to be the next mass shooter
A young girl is living happily today but listen
Tomorrow she gon’ be on the news, reported missing

[Chorus]
Somewhere
A lot of pain, a lot of problems, a lot of people in the hole
Somewhere
A lot of folks going through it in life, losing control
Somewhere
It’s a hard road, ain’t too many good people left
Somewhere
Don’t let the weight take you down, grab a hold of yourself, man

[Verse 2]
Somewhere, a woman is in love with a loser
Giving money and sex to a ruthless, abusive user
There’s a young fella running these streets, robbing to get green
Not knowing in a year from now he gon’ be serving fifteen
Somewhere, a black dude’s hanging out this evening
And a white lady’s calling the cops on him for no reason
A deceitful preacher is preaching being evil and leechin’, while speaking deep in the pockets of the people he’s reaching
Somewhere, there’s a person with a broke heart and a hurt mind, influenced easily, about to try dope for the first time
A group of government devils who take greed and step far, or in a room as we speak now planning the next war
Somewhere, somebody’s making moves in the streets
But folks don’t even know he a snitch for the police
It’s a lazy dude, savage as hell, doing some dirt, smashing his wife’s best friend when she go to work

[Chorus]
Somewhere
A lot of pain, a lot of problems, a lot of people in the hole
Somewhere
A lot of folks going through it in life, losing control
Somewhere
It’s a hard road, ain’t too many good people left
Somewhere
Don’t let the weight take you down, grab a hold of yourself, man

But on the flip side…

[Verse 3]
Somewhere, somebody is broke and struggling hard
And they just got a phone call saying they got the job
It’s a woman who been hurt many times to the extreme
And God just blessed her to meet the man of her dreams
Somewhere a doctor told you you wouldn’t survive
That was twenty years ago, the doctor dead, you still alive
Somebody was adopted at birth and mentally suffered, and finally got to meet their biological mother
Now somewhere, a young G done got up out the game, turned his life around, now he helping others do the same
It’s amazing, somebody got pulled over this morning
And the cop ain’t even trip, he let him drive off with a warning
Somewhere, one of these neighborhood ghetto children became a entrepreneur, man, and now he’s worth millions
A proud mother’s out there sheddin’ some happy tears
And it’s a couple celebrating being married for fifty years

[Chorus]
Somewhere
A lot of pain, a lot of problems, a lot of people in the hole
Somewhere
A lot of folks going through it in life, losing control
Somewhere
It’s a hard road, ain’t too many good people left
Somewhere
Don’t let the weight take you down, grab a hold of yourself, man
