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, '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 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-la-la

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

If you're tryin' to 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 trying to turn me into somethin' 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 want to 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 want to 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 have fallen for that

When I was fourteen and a little more green

But it's amazing what a couple of years can mean

La-la-la-la-la-la (Oh)

La-la-la-la-la-la (Yeah, yeah)

La-la-la-la-la-la (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

If you're trying to 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 trying to 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 want to bring me down

Go ahead and try

Go ahead and try

Oh

Go ahead and try, try and look me in the eye

But you'll never see inside

Until you realize, realize

Things are tryin' to settle down

Just tryin' to figure out

Exactly what I'm about

If it's with or without you

I don't need you doubting me

If you're tryin' to 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 trying to 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 (I'm not nobody's fool)

If you want to bring me down

Go ahead and (Try) try, try

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-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
