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 ya, 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'd lie, so don't call me with the compromise
Hang up the phone, I got a back bone stronger than yours
Step up
Step up, step up
Step up, step up
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
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
If you wanna bring me down
Go ahead and try, go ahead and try
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 we go not so soon
I might have fallen for that, when I was 14 and a little more green
But it's amazing, what a couple of years can mean
Step up
Step up, step up
Step up, step up
Step up
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
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
If you wanna bring me down
Go ahead and try, go ahead and try
Go ahead and try
Try to look me in the eye
But you'll never see inside
Until you realize, realize
Thing are trying to settle down
Just trying to figure out
Exactly what I'm about
If it's with or without you, I don't need you doubtin' me
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
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
If you wanna bring me down
Go ahead and try, try
Go ahead and try
Go ahead and try
Go ahead and try
Would you be laughing out loud
If I play it to my own crowd
Try
Go ahead and try
