And quit my whining 'cause it's bringing her down

E
Fall back, take a look at me and you'll see
B C#m
I'm for real, I'll feel what only I can feel and if that don't appeal to ya
A
Let me know, and I'll go, cause I flow better when my colours show

E
And that's the way it has to be, honestly
B C#m
Cause creativity could never bloom in my room, I'd throw it all away before I lie
A
So don't call me with the compromise, hang up the phone, I got a backbone
E
Stronger than yours

E
La la la la la la
B
La la la la la la
C#m
La la la la la la
A
Yeah yeah yeah yeah...

E B
If you're trying to turn me into someone else
C#m
It's easy to see I'm not down with that
A
I'm not nobody's fool
E B
If you're trying to turn me into something else
C#m
I've seen it enough that I'm over that
A
I'm not nobody's fool
E B
If you want to bring me down
C#m A
Go ahead and try, go ahead and try

E
You don't know you think you know me like yourself
B C#m
But I fear that you're only telling me what I wanna hear
A
But do you give a damn, understand that I can't not be what I am

E
I'm not the milk and cheerios in your spoon
B C#m
It's not as simple here we go not so soon, I might have fallen for that
A
When I was 14 and a little more green
E
But it's amazing what a couple of years can mean

E B
Ohhhhhhh
C#m
Yeah yeah
A
Yeah yeah yeah

E B
If you're trying to turn me into someone else
C#m
It's easy to see I'm not down with that
A
I'm not nobody's fool
E B
If you're trying to turn me into something else
C#m
I've seen it enough that I'm over that
A
I'm not nobody's fool
E B
If you want to bring me down
C#m A
Go ahead and try, go ahead and try

E B
Ohhhhhh
C#m
Go ahead and try, try to look me in the eye
A E
But you'll never see inside, until you realize

E
Things are trying to settle down
B
Just trying to figure out
C#m
Exactly what I'm about
A
If it's with or without you, I don't need your doubt in me

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

E B C#m A
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, ohhhhh

E B
But you'll be laughing out loud, if I played to my own crowd
C#m A E
Try

Go ahead and try
