Be Somebody
Unveiling the Dance of Liberation
Lyrics
Taking to the floor with the reach to the sky
Taking initiative and reaching for higher goals.
I loosen my tie, I loosen my tie
Symbolic act of letting go or relaxing, possibly to be more authentic.
Locking down the door with the rhythm and rhyme
Securing oneself from outside influences, focusing on inner rhythm and rhyme.
I loosen my tie, I loosen my tie
Reiterating the act of loosening the tie, emphasizing a sense of liberation.
Trying to recall what you want me to say
Struggling to remember or express what is expected.
I shake it your way, I shake it your way
Adjusting behavior or communication to align with someone else's preferences.
Counting on the night for a beautiful day
Optimistically relying on the current moment for a positive future outcome.
I shake it your way, I shake it your way
Continuing efforts to please or conform to someone else's desires.
And I say you can't get enough

Now you can't get enough

Given a chance I'm gonna be somebody
Expressing a desire for a chance to become significant or notable.
If for one dance I'm gonna be somebody

Open the door it's gonna make you love me
Opening up to love and connection as a means to achieve significance.
Facing the floor I'm gonna be somebody
Facing challenges or confrontations with the intent of becoming noteworthy.
Now it's your time and you know where you stand
Acknowledging one's position and power, possibly with a hint of danger.
With a gun in your hand, with a gun in your hand
Highlighting the presence of a potentially threatening element, like a gun.
Now I'm no longer an ordinary man
No longer being ordinary, suggesting a transformation or elevation.
Was this your big plan, your gun in your hand?
Questioning someone else's grand plan, possibly involving a weapon.
And I say you can't get enough
Reiteration of insatiable desires or needs.
Now you can't get enough
Reaffirming the idea that satisfaction or fulfillment is unattainable.
Given a chance I'm gonna be somebody
Expressing determination to seize an opportunity and become somebody.
If for one dance I'm gonna be somebody
Willingness to make an impact, even if just for a brief moment.
Open the door it's gonna make you love me

Facing the floor I'm gonna be somebody
Facing challenges or confrontations with the intent of becoming noteworthy.
Be somebody, be somebody
