Fall back, take a look at me and you'll see

I'm for real, I feel what only I can feel

and if that don't appeal to you

Let me know and I'll go cuz I flow

better when my colors show,

and that's the way it has to be.

Honestly, cuz 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've got a backbone stronger than yours.

(step up) la la... (step up) la la... (step up) La la...

Yeah...

If you're tryin' to turn me into someone else

It's easy to see I'm not down with that

(Not nobody's fool) I'm nobody's fool

If you're tryin' to turn me into something else

I've seen it enough and I'm over that

(Not nobodys fool) I'm 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

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 that simple here we go not so soon.

I might have fallen for that when I was fourteen

And a little more green,

but it's amazing what a couple of years can mean.

(step up) la la... (step up) la la... (step up)

la la...Yeah...

If you're tryin' to turn me into someone else

It's easy to see I'm not down with that

(Not nobody's fool) I'm nobody's fool

If you're tryin' to turn me into something else

I've seen it enough and I'm over that

(Not nobodys fool) I'm nobody's fool.

If you wanna bring me down

then go ahead and try

go ahead and try.

Oh...

Go ahead and try

Try to look me in the eye but you'll never see inside

Until you realize (realize)

Things are tryin' to settle down

Just try to figure out

Exactly what I'm about

If it's with or without you I don't need ya doubting me

If you're tryin' to turn me into someone else

It's easy to see I'm not down with that

(Not nobody's fool) I'm nobody's fool

If you're tryin' to turn me into something else

I've seen it enough and I'm over that

(Not nobody's fool) I'm nobody's fool

If you wanna bring me down

then go ahead and try...

(Go ahead and try) La la... (Go ahead and try) La la...

Yeah...Go ahead and try

You'll be laughing out loud when I'm playin' to my own crowd

Try...
