E
Fall back 
Take a look at me 
B
And you'll see I'm for real 
I feel what only I can feel 
C#m
And if that don't appeal to you 
Let me know 
And I'll go 
A
'Cuz I flow 
Better when my colors show 
And that's the way 
E
it has to be 
Honestly 
'Cuz creativity could 
B
never bloom 
In my room 
I'd throw it all away 
C#m
before I lie 
So don't call me with a compromise
A 
Hang up the phone 
I've got a backbone stronger than
E 
yours
E B C#m A 
La la la la la la ... 

[Chorus]
E
If you're trying to turn me 
B 
into someone else 
Its easy to see I'm not 
C#m
down with that 
I'm not nobody's 
A
fool 
E
If you're trying to turn me 
B
into something else 
I've seen enough and I'm 
C#m
over that 
I'm not nobody's 
A
fool 
E
If you wanna bring me down 
B
Go ahead and 
C#m
try 
A
Go ahead and try 

[Verse 2]
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 hearing but not so soon 
I might've fallen for that when I was fourteen 
And a little more green 
But its amazing what a couple of years can mean 
La la la la la la ... 

[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 
If you wanna bring me down 
Go ahead and try ... 

[Verse 3]
Go ahead and try 
Try and 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 doubting 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 
If you wanna bring me down 
Go ahead and try 

[Break]
La la la la la la... 

[Outro]
Would you be laughing out loud 
If I played to my own crowd 
Try
