Sometimes Somebody

Listen:
At times to be truculent seems succulent. Sometimes being voluble is valuable And moldable totally extollable, Other times it's scoldable. Sometimes silence is compliance alliance with cruel and vile violence, at others it's a science of mutual reliance. Sometimes making this pellucid is elusive Other times to be lucid is obtrusive. Sometimes to earn concern is discerning Others it's certainly disconcerting. Sometimes the naiveté of the nativity affects me negatively, but despite the ridicule of putting the perfect pedagogue on his pedestal this festival gives me the pedigree of a predestined pedestrian. (Incredible) Somebody said they were a somebody But nobody's a nobody, And if you say anything, Man it hurts like anything. Sometimes to be gallant comes across as wisely elegant But guys and gals who gallivant are fairly unintelligent. The valent are rarely valiant but varying very often a necessary talent. Sometimes to mollify serves to nullify the probability of problems, Others times to placate is to vacate probity and to pacify actually gratifies nobody. At times, being intractable is attractive But once in awhile to be irrefragable shows we're really fragile. Sometimes being inexorable may be deplorable On the other hand, the demand to always be vulnerable is also intolerable. Some days to be a composer of words becomes imposing, Those who highpost ripostes boast of toasting nerds, But while they coast on the surface, I observe hiphop's purpose and propose they're served. Somebody said they were a somebody But nobody's a nobody, And if you say anything, Man it hurts like anything.
