Nobody's Fool

Step up, step up, step up 
Step up, step up, step up 
Step up, step up, step up 

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 
La la la la la la 
La la la la la la la 
La la la la la la 
Yeah, yeah, yeah 

[chorus] 
If you're trying to turn me into someone else 
Its 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 enough and I'm over that 
I'm not nobody's fool 
And 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 
Its not a simple here if I'm not so soon 
I might've fallen for that when I was fourteen 
In a little more dream 
But its amazing what a couple of years can mean 
La la la la la la 
La la la la la la la 
La la la la la la 
Yeah, yeah 

[chorus] 
If you're trying to turn me into someone else 
Its 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 enough and I'm over that 
I'm not nobody's fool 
And if you wanna bring me down 
Go ahead and try 
Go ahead and try 

Go ahead and try 
Try to look me in the eye 
But you'll never see inside 
Until you realize 
Realize 
Things are trying to settle down 
Just try to figure out 
Exactly what I'm about 
If its with or without you 
I don't need you doubtin' me 

[chorus] 
If you're trying to turn me into someone else 
Its 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 enough and I'm over that 
I'm not nobody's fool 
And 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 la (yeah, yeah) 
La la la la la la (oh) 
La la la la la la (would you be laughing out loud) 
La la la la la la la (if I played to my own crowd) 
La la la la la la (try)
