If you ketch up in a scuffle with a youngster

Undressing, everybody wanna be somebody
That want to build him name up as a gangster

Doh deny a youth the opportunity
More blessing, everybody wanna be somebody
Who am I to defend or oppose this
No, everybody wanna be somebody
The juvenile weh a selling the Star
More blessing, everybody wanna be somebody
Dread, if that’s what they must do just to be noticed
More blessing, everybody wanna be somebody
Hollywood dreams get to Sonia
More blessing, everybody wanna be somebody
The big man weh drive him car

I’m guessing, everybody wanna be somebody
Give a helping hand, better you help her
Don’t test him, everybody wanna be somebody
And so she pack up and fly out to California
Everybody wanna be somebody
Look a wha’ a gwaan ‘pon the acre
I’m saying, everybody wanna be somebody
You see the likkle woman weh you have as helper
Oh, everybody wanna be somebody
Dread, if that’s what you must do just to be noticed
Everybody wanna be somebody
Just because him come from a certain community

Who am I to defend or oppose this

More blessing, everybody wanna be somebody
More blessing, everybody wanna be somebody

Every man a turn entertainer
