Step up<br />
Step up<br />
<br />
Fall back, take a look at me and you'll see, I'm for real<br />
I'll feel what only I can feel and if that don't appeal to you let me know<br />
And I'll go 'cause I flow better when my colors show<br />
And that's the way it has to be honestly<br />
<br />
'Cause creatively could never bloom in my room<br />
I'd throw it all away before I'd lie so don't call me with a compromise<br />
Hang up the phone, I got a backbone stronger than yours<br />
<br />
La, la, la, la, la, la, la<br />
La, la, la, la, la, la, la<br />
La, la, la, la, la, la, la<br />
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah<br />
<br />
If you're trying to turn me into someone else<br />
It's easy to see I'm not down with that<br />
I'm not nobody's fool<br />
<br />
If you're trying to turn me into something else<br />
I've seen it enough and I'm over that<br />
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 what I wanna hear<br />
But do you give a damn? 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've 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 />
La, la, la, la, la, la, la<br />
La, la, la, la, la, la, la<br />
La, la, la, la, la, la, la<br />
Yeah, yeah, yeah<br />
<br />
If you're trying to turn me into someone else<br />
It's easy to see I'm not down with that<br />
I'm not nobody's fool<br />
<br />
If you're trying to turn me into something else<br />
I've seen it enough and I'm over that<br />
I'm not nobody's fool<br />
<br />
If you wanna bring me down go ahead and try<br />
Go ahead and try<br />
<br />
Go ahead and try, try to look me in the eye<br />
But you'll never see inside until you realize<br />
<br />
Things are trying to settle down<br />
Just trying to figure out exactly what I'm about<br />
If it's with or without you, I don't need your doubt in 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<br />
I'm not nobody's fool<br />
<br />
If you're trying to turn me into something else<br />
I've seen it enough and I'm over that<br />
I'm not nobody's fool<br />
<br />
If you wanna bring me down<br />
Go ahead and try, try<br />
<br />
Yeah yeah<br />
Yeah yeah<br />
Oh<br />
<br />
Would you be laughing out loud<br />
If I play it to my own crowd?<br />
<br />
Go ahead and try
