Step up, step up<br />
Step up, step up<br />
Step up, step up<br />
Step up<br />
<br />
Fall back, take a look at me and you'll see<br />
I'm for real, I feel what only I can feel<br />
And if that don't appeal to ya, let me know<br />
And I'll go, 'cause I flow better when my colors show<br />
<br />
And that's the way it has to be, honestly<br />
'Cause creativity could never bloom in my room<br />
I'd throw it all away before I'd lie, so don't call me with the compromise<br />
Hang up the phone, I got a back bone stronger than yours<br />
<br />
Step up<br />
Step up, step up<br />
Step up, step up<br />
<br />
If you're trying to turn me into someone else<br />
It's easy to see, I'm not down with that, I'm not nobody's fool<br />
If you're trying to turn me into something else<br />
I've seen it enough, and I'm over that, I'm not nobody's fool<br />
<br />
If you wanna bring me down<br />
Go ahead and try, go ahead and try<br />
<br />
Don't know, you think you know me like yourself<br />
But I fear that you're only telling me<br />
What I wanna hear, but do you give a damn<br />
Understand, that I can't, not be what I am<br />
<br />
I'm not the milk and cheerios in your spoon<br />
It's not a simple, here we go not so soon<br />
I might have fallen for that, when I was 14 and a little more green<br />
But it's amazing, what a couple of years can mean<br />
<br />
Step up<br />
Step up, step up<br />
Step up, step up<br />
Step up<br />
<br />
If you're trying to turn me into someone else<br />
It's easy to see, I'm not down with that, I'm not nobody's fool<br />
If you're trying to turn me into something else<br />
I've seen it enough, and I'm over that, I'm not nobody's fool<br />
<br />
If you wanna bring me down<br />
Go ahead and try, go ahead and try<br />
<br />
Go ahead and try<br />
Try to look me in the eye<br />
But you'll never see inside<br />
Until you realize, realize<br />
<br />
Thing are trying to settle down<br />
Just trying to figure out<br />
Exactly what I'm about<br />
If it's with or without you, I don't need you doubtin' me<br />
<br />
If you're trying to turn me into someone else<br />
It's easy to see, I'm not down with that, I'm not nobody's fool<br />
If you're trying to turn me into something else<br />
I've seen it enough, and I'm over that, I'm not nobody's fool<br />
<br />
If you wanna bring me down<br />
Go ahead and try, try<br />
<br />
Go ahead and try<br />
Go ahead and try<br />
Go ahead and try<br />
<br />
Would you be laughing out loud<br />
If I play it to my own crowd<br />
Try<br />
<br />
Go ahead and try
