Nobody's Fool

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
'Cuz I flow
Better when my colors show
And that's the way it has to be
Honestly 'Cuz 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 uUnderstand
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

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

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

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

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