Lyrics
Set me up (x6)
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 So eager to put yourself above me But now I see so cleary 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" And 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 - it's time to show you
Set me up Knocked down Knocked down from your clique you Understand how you rejected me I look at your face and I 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 off the angry thought That's swelling to escape my head, so It's plain as day as you can see That I have a right to explain myself to you So dont' look away, or turn away, or laugh away Cause your "scene" is dead today
We can't bring ourselves back down to this level You're 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 in my face Am i, so distant that I cannot break free from this stereotype today Am i, so seperate from you that you cannot regard me as equal And clean this stain
