Set Me Up Lyrics

    Right in front of me dropping another game
    Now I watch your face as your eyes look down
    Away from my glance
    Backstabbed as I hear the cracks drop smack
    I count the ways your little whispers swell to greet my daze
    Underground, so down, your scene above me
    But now I see so clearly
    I'm not down, I never could be
    And it's long past time for me to show you

    Speak my mind in response to your condescending way
    Of placing me below your feet
    "It's not what you know, it's who you know"
    But all I know now is you live for the show"
    Smiles in my face with smirks in your eyes
    And I understand what it means to be
    "Legit" in your eyes, not I
    Nor none of my "attempts" to be on the inside
    I'm not down, I never could be
    And it's time, this time I'll show you

    Set me up
    Knocked down
    Knocked down from your clique, you
    Understand how you rejected me
    I look at your face and weep for your "scene"

    So I ask myself what needs to be said
    What now, what light can I shed?
    As I battle to fight down the angry thought
    That's swelling to escape my head
    So it's plain as day and you can see
    that I have a right to explain my self to you
    So don't look away or turn away or laugh away
    Because your "scene" is dead today
    We can't bring ourselves back down to this level
    Because you are no better than me
    Down with all that took us away from standing as one and living as one
    Am I so different from you that you cannot dispel with your status and
    look at my face?
    Am I so distant from you that I cannot break free from this stereotype
    today?
    Am I so separate from you that you cannot regard me as equal and
    clean this stain?
