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 lie
So don't call me with a compromise
Hang up the phone
I got a backbone stronger than yours
La la la la la la (step up)
La la la la la la (step up)
La la la la la la
Yeah, yeah, yeah, 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)
I′m not nobody′s fool
If you're trying to turn me in something else
I′ve seen it enough and I'm over that (I′m not nobody's fool)
I′m not nobody's fool
If you wanna bring me down
Go ahead and try
Go ahead and try
You don't know, you think you know me like yourself
But I fear that you′re only telling me what I wanna hear
But 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 as simple as, "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 la la la (step up)
La la la la la la (step up)
La la la la la la (yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, 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)
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)
I'm not nobody's fool
If you wanna bring me down
Go ahead and try
Go ahead and try
(Oh)
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 tryna to figure out
Exactly what I′m about
If it's with or without you, I don′t need you doubting 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)
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)
I'm not nobody′s fool
If you wanna bring me down
Go ahead and try, try
La la la la la la (yeah, yeah)
La la la la la la (yeah, yeah)
La la la la la la (oh)
La la la la la la
Would you be laughing out loud
If I played to my own crowd
Try, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
excellent!
