      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

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

 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
