KIPP NYC Students Say - "I AM SOMEBODY!" 

Students from KIPP NYC recite one of their favorite chants, inspired by Rita Pierson.
I am somebody.
I was somebody when I came in.
I'll be a better somebody when I leave.
When I fall
I will pick myself up
And dust it off.
I am strong.
I am powerful.
I deserve the education I receive here.
Because I have things to do
Statistics to crush
People to impress
And places to go.
I am somebody.
I am somebody.
I AM SOMEBODY!
