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.
If you're trying to turn me into someone else, it's easy to see I'm not down with that.
I'm nobody's fool.
If you're trying to turn me into something else, I've seen enough and I'm over that.
I'm 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 but no so soon.
I might've fallen for that when I was fourteen.
And a little more green.
But it's amazing what a couple years can mean.

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 trying to settle down.
Just try to figure out exactly what I'm about.
If it's with or without you.
I don't need you doubting me.

Would you be laughing out loud if I played to my own crowd?
Try.
