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
