Written by John Jackson
You search and
You discover
Who can take the blame
Unknowing
Unsuspecting
Victims of your frame
There’s no way out (no way out)
So easy to lure them in
The only thing that sticks to you is your story
Yes I think I’ve learned that lesson
And it’s something I’ll never do
I won’t rise up by sinking down to your level
You won’t prevail ‘cause you’ve made a pact with the devil
You cut and
You copy
And then you delete
They’re trusting
So unwitting
Mission complete
You “prove your worth” (prove your worth)
Giving birth to their ideas
Sit back and watch while they take the path to ruin
Fast-track to their demise
Purge the truth and spread the lies, and more lies
I won’t rise up by sinking down to your level
I won’t lose sleep ‘cause I know the source of your revel
How firm is your foundation?
You’ll step in cracks
The faults of your design
It won’t take long ‘til they see you
Cover your tracks
While you toe the line
They won’t be far behind
Reputation gone
But you’ll keep holding on, holding on
You won’t come back, you’ll be staying down at your level
You won’t have time, ‘cause you’ll have a date with the devil
And I’ll move up (standing up, rising up, moving up, moving out)
And I’ll step up (lifting up, pushing up, stepping up, stepping out)
I’ll be talking smack ‘cause I never sank to your level,
I’ll be riding high, and I’ll have a reason to revel!
