(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
‘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’ve got a backbone stronger than yours
(Step up)
La la la la la la
(Step up)
La la la la la la la
(Step up)
La la la la la la
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
If you’re tryna 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 tryna 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
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 a simple “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 could mean
(Step up)
La la la la la la
(Step up)
La la la la la la la
(Step up)
La la la la la la
If you’re tryna 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 tryna 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 to look me in the eye
But you’ll never see inside
Until you realize, realize
Things are tryna settle down
Just try to figure out
Exactly what I’m about
If it’s with or without you
I don’t need you doubt in me
If you’re tryna 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 tryna turn me into something else
I’ve seen it enough and I’m over that (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
(I’m not nobody’s fool) I’m not nobody’s fool
(Not nobody’s fool)
If you wanna bring me down
Go ahead and (Try) try, try
Go ahead and try (Oh)
La-la-la-la-la-la (Go ahead and try)
Yeah, yeah
La-la-la-la-la-la (Go ahead and try)
Yeah, yeah
La-la-la-la-la-la (Go ahead and try)
Oh
La-la-la-la-la-la
Would you be laughing out loud (La-la-la-la-la-la)
If I played to my own crowd? (La-la-la-la-la-la)
Try (La-la-la-la-la-la)
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Go ahead and try
