I am Determined

I'm determined to be somebody someday,
No matter what obstacles get in my way,
For this is something I attend to achieve,
Through hard work as I continue to believe,

The mountain may seem way to steep, But I`ll not sit at the foot and weep,
I'm going to the top,yes all the way,
Because you see, I`m determined to be somebody someday,

The good ole black book that governs my soul,
Shows me how to live and set my goals,
It will carry me through,show me the way,
That's how I know I`ll be somebody some day,

You must be willing to pay the price,
Be able to shelter the trials of life,
From my work I`ll not only get my pay,
But the satisfaction of being somebody someday,

From a slave cabin to the hall of fame,
We shall remember Booker T. Washington's name,
This great American excelled all the way,
Because he was determined to be somebody someday,

No matter what people may say,
No matter what may get in my way,
I'm going to the top yes all the way,
Because you see I'm determined to be somebody some day!
