I am fueled by all forms of failure 
I paid the price 
So, I'll take what's mine! 

Bet ya didn't see that [bad word] #39; 
Cause I do as I please 
And apologize for nothing. 
My time is flying 
But I'm still second to none. 
Always shining the brightest 
When I'm placed under the gun. 
So here I stand, 
The only son of a working class man 
I won't be held back 
I can't be held down 

Where were you 
When my walls came falling down? 
You tried to hide 
You stood close by 
And didn't make a sound! 

(Say something!) 

Find you some paper 
And I'll go grab you a pen 
You can start taking notes 
On how this all started again. 
Been dead last but found my way to the front 
With my inspirational quotes on why 
I never gave up! 

Where were you 
When my walls came falling down? 
(When you falling down) 
You tried to hide 
You stood close by 
And didn't make a sound! 
Where were you 
When it all came back around? 
(Goes back around) 
The reasons why you passed me by 
Will always hold you down. 

(Say something!) 

If you can't stand the pressure 
Stay the [bad word] out of my way! 
I know my place! 
This one goes out to everyone 
Who's lied to my face! 
MY HEART IS FILLED WITH HATE! 

I'm making a difference, 
I'm taking a chance. 
You can say what you want about me 
But no one can tell me I can't! 

Where were you 
When my walls came falling down? 
(When you falling down) 
You tried to hide 
You stood close by 
And didn't make a sound! 
Where were you 
When it all came back around? 
(Goes back around) 
The reasons why you passed me by 
Will always hold you down.
