Lyrics

So who the fuck do you think you are

Expressing frustration and disbelief at someone's attitude or behavior.

Have you forgot the past

Questioning if the person has forgotten their history or origins.

When you first came around

Referencing the initial entry of the person into a particular community or scene.

And you tried to fit in

Describing the person's attempt to integrate and belong.

And be part of what's going on

Highlighting the desire to be part of the current happenings.

Now who the fuck do you think you are

Reiterating the initial question in a confrontational manner.

Cutting down kids that are new in the scene

Criticizing the person for disparaging newcomers in the community.

Won't cut them no slack

Refusing to give the person any leeway or understanding.

Always kicking them in the back

Accusing the person of consistently harming newcomers.


who the fuck do you think you are

Repeating the initial question, emphasizing a lack of genuine belonging.

Telling everyone how long you've been around

Criticizing the person for boasting about their longevity in the community.

Wanting people to kiss your ass

Accusing the person of seeking unwarranted admiration.

And every time there a show

Noting the person's consistent attendance at events.

You come around

Describing the person's demeanor as if they were the dominant figure.

Acting like you're all king of the town


so here's a wake up call

Declaring a wakeup call for individuals with similar behavior.

For everyone like you

Asserting that the truth about the person is now known.

Cause now we all know you're not true

Highlighting the person's lack of authenticity.

All the lies you told, all you said

Referencing the lies told by the person and predicting their demise in the community.

In our scene forever you'll be dead


I've seen your kind every where I go

Observing the presence of similar individuals in various locations.

And tall the troubles you cause at shows

Accusing the person of causing trouble at events.

Putting things down but you'll never know

Indicating that the person is unaware of the consequences of their actions.

All the shit you talked will one day blow

Predicting that the negative talk will eventually have consequences for the person.


in your face for all to see

Anticipating a public revelation of the person's true character.

Now you think you're better than me

Addressing the person directly, challenging their sense of superiority.

Tell everyone you've been around for years

Mocking the person for boasting about their longevity without substantial impact.

That means nothing if no one hears

Stating that time spent in the community is irrelevant without recognition.


so you say you want respect

Dismissing the person's demand for respect based on time invested.

Cause you've put in years of time

Rejecting the idea that longevity alone deserves respect.

But that means nothing

Emphasizing that time spent is meaningless without engagement.

If you don't hear the sounds

Highlighting the importance of acknowledging the current generation.

All the kids screaming from the underground


what will happen years from now

Speculating about the future and the person's relevance.

When those kids are still around

Questioning the person's significance when new generations persist.

No one will care about you at all

Predicting the person's decline in relevance.

That's when you'll take your big fall

Anticipating the person's downfall when they are no longer relevant.


the tables are turning back

Observing a shift in power dynamics, with the younger generation taking control.

Now the kids are on the attack

Describing a situation where the younger generation is resisting.

Locked out no where to go

Portraying the person as excluded and unwelcome in the community.

You've been banned from all our shows

Declaring that the person is banned from
