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 youll see Im for real
Ill feel what only I can feel and if that dont appeal to you
Let me know and Ill go cause I flow better when my colors show
And thats the way it has to be honestly
Cause creativity could never bloom in my room
Id throw it all away before Id lie
So dont call me with a compromise
Hang up the phone, Ive got a backbone stronger than yours

La la la la la la (step, step up, step up)
La la la la la la la (step up, step up)
La la la la la la
Yeah, yeah, yeah

If youre trying to turn me into someone else
Its easy to see, Im not down with that
Im not nobodys fool
If youre trying to turn me into something else
Ive seen it enough and Im over that
Im not nobodys fool
If you wanna bring me down
Go ahead and try

You dont know, you think you know me like yourself
But I fear that youre only telling me what I wanna hear
But do you give a damn?
Understand that I cant not be what I am
Im not the milk and cheerios in your spoon
Its not a simple here we go not so soon
I mightve 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 (step, step up, step up)
La la la la la la la (step up, step up)
La la la la la la
Yeah, yeah

If youre trying to turn me into someone else
Its easy to see Im not down with that
Im not nobodys fool
If youre trying to turn me into something else
Ive seen it enough and Im over that
Im not nobodys fool
If you wanna bring me down
Go ahead and try

Go ahead and try
Try to look me in the eye
But youll never see inside
Until you realize, realize, realize

Things are trying to settle down
Just try to figure out
Exactly what Im about
If its with or without you
I dont need you doubt in me

If youre trying to turn me into someone else
Its easy to see Im not down with that
Im not nobodys fool
If youre trying to turn me into something else
Ive seen it enough and Im over that
Im not nobodys fool
If you wanna bring me down
Go ahead and try

Would you be laughing out loud
If I played it to my own crowd?
Try!

Go ahead and try
