(Step up!)
Fall back
Take a look at me and you'll see
I'm for real
I'll feel what only I can feel
And if that don't appeal to you
Let me know
And I'll go, cause I flow
Better when my colors show
And that's the way it has to be, honestly
Cause creativity could never bloom in my room
I'd throw it all away before I'd lie
So don't call me with a compromise
Hang up the phone
I got a backbone stronger than yours
La la la ... yeah
If you're trying to turn me into someone else
It's easy to see I'm not down with that
I'm (not) nobody's fool
If you're trying to turn me into something else
I've seen it enough and I'm over that
I'm (not) nobody's fool
If you wanna bring me down
Go ahead and try
Go ahead and try
Don't know
You think you know me like yourself
But I fear
That you're only telling me what I wanna hear
Do you give a damn
Understand, that I can't, not be what I am
I'm not the milk and cheerios in your spoon
It's not a simple "here we go,"
not so soon
I might've fallen for that when
I was fourteen
And a little more green
But it's amazing what a couple of years can mean
La la la ... yeah
If you're trying to turn me into someone else
It's easy to see I'm not down with that
I'm (not) nobody's fool
If you're trying to turn me into something else
I've seen it enough and I'm over that
I'm (not) nobody's fool
If you wanna bring me down
Go ahead and try
Go ahead and try
Go ahead and try
Try and look me in the eye
But you'll never see inside
Until you realize, realize
Things are trying to settle down
Just trying to figure out
Exactly what I'm about
If it's with or without you
I don't need you doubt in me
If you're trying to turn me into someone else
It's easy to see I'm not down with that
I'm (not) nobody's fool
If you're trying to turn me into something else
I've seen it enough and I'm over that
I'm (not) nobody's fool
If you wanna bring me down
Go ahead and try
Go ahead and try
La la la ... yeah
Would you be laughing out loud
If I played to my own crowd
Try yeah
