Set It Off - Raise No Fool Lyrics






I'm wearing rose tinted shades but
All I see is shades of
My imagination covered in red
A crooked smile and some fake love
Put me in these handcuffs
Threw away the keys cause
I was a threat

Well, first you try to tell me we're family
Then you try to tell me that it's for the best
You promise that you'll be there if I need ya
But I don't need your handout
You can take it back

I won't be used
My momma didn't raise no fool
Won't let you leave me hangin'
So cut me loose
My momma didn't raise no fool
Won't let you leave me hangin' no more

I got a pain in my back bone
Where'd you get that knife from?
Why the hell is it so covered in red?
I let you walk into my home
Let you make it your own
You tried to tear it down and leave me for dead

Well, first you try to tell me we're family
Then you try to tell me that it's for the best
You promise that you'll be there if I need ya
But I don't need your handout
You can take it back

I won't be used
My momma didn't raise no fool
Won't let you leave me hangin'
So cut me loose
My momma didn't raise no fool
Won't let you leave me hangin' no more

Ladies and gentlemen
If you're sick of being disrespected
Let me hear you sing it, go
I don't wanna feel like my money that you're spendin'
No I don't wanna feel like I'm losing cause you're winnin' baby
I don't wanna feel like my money that you're spendin'
No I don't wanna feel like I'm losing cause you're winnin'

I won't be used
My momma didn't raise no fool
Won't let you leave me hangin'
So cut me loose
My momma didn't raise no fool
Won't let you leave me hangin' no more

Set It Off Raise No Fool Comments
  1. C.... ....

    A year layer and still good

  2. T.... J....

    *THE ENDING LEFT ME HANGING*😂😂😂





    pretty sure thats the joke but thats so fucking funny to me

  3. H.... W....

    Go set it off!

  4. N.... Q....

    "My momma ain't raise no fool"
    *me, nerd*
    Ain't and no are both negative terms.... Negative and Negative are positive... So your momma did raise a fool...? 🤨🤨

  5. U.... P....

    Bout ta sing this to meh dad

  6. I.... d....

    My favourite bit is when he says 'cut me loose' and in the background you can hear 'snip snip'

  7. A.... ....

    Are my eyes playing on me? Or does the upper hand really has 6 fingers?

  8. Z.... ....

    “Won’t let you leave me hanging, so cut me loose” sounds pretty similar to “but you wouldn’t cut the rope if it was hanging me”

  9. D.... D....

    A bridge starting with "ladies and gentlemen" is so iconic for SIO and it somehow has me??? So shook???

  10. Y.... ....

    Anyone else notice the hands have six fingers?

  11. L.... ....

    Why are there six fingers

  12. J.... S....

    According to Youtube, this is a good song to advertise pink lipstick on

  13. M.... O....

    UNDERRATED SOONG LOVE THAT SONG

  14. C.... ....

    1:55 "snip snip"

  15. C.... ....

    it's funny because the last line is 'won't let ya leave me hangin' and he left us hanging

  16. t.... b....

    lmao, who elses mum gave them the "look" when listening to chorus? XD

  17. J.... S....

    Lemme beat this asshole that hurt you...I am not afraid to do it....

  18. A.... D....

    LO AMO OC(?!

  19. �.... ....

    love!!!

  20. b.... b....

    THAT BRIDGE WAS SO GOOD

  21. t.... c....

    anyone think the backing track sounds like 'for you forever'

  22. K.... ....

    6 fingers. i see

  23. L.... T....

    It's me, or both hands have six fingers?? xDD Yesterday I saw it and now I cant stop to watching it

  24. L.... ....

    Oh it’s a mood. Can relate.

  25. T.... W....

    I love the music but....The hands have six fingers and I am distracted. Cool animation, but what???

  26. F.... U....

    I've just noticed the hands... why are there six fingers??

    F.... U....

    6 + 6 = 12
    The album is called Midnight, midnight = 12AM

    F.... U....

    @Rain Glow I see... Interesting

  27. n.... y....

    aaaaand, they left us hangin.

  28. K.... G....

    The main riff on this sounds very similar to the one in Mystery Skulls' song 'Money'...or is that just me?

  29. W.... W....

    I just realized that the upper hand has six fingers wtf

    W.... W....

    Same. It looks so normal until you take a closer look. Perhaps this is a reference to circus freak?? IDK

  30. E.... C....

    *when they actually leave me hanging at the end*
    https://youtu.be/688OPQ9WFpA

  31. K.... ....

    I think I might be addicted to this song

  32. E.... A....

    The dislikes mommas did raise a fool

  33. P.... I....

    this album is so good I actually rejected my hot pocket until I had sang all of the songs. Now I'm hungry.

  34. F.... U....

    so you leave us hanging...

  35. A.... M....

    My god, the whole album is incredible, i just can't Believe that i'm addicted in just ten minutes

  36. T.... S....

    Nice song quite soothing 🙂

  37. P.... ....

    My favorite song on the new album. It goes really well with a story I’m writing. Actually come to think of it... this whole album goes really well with it.

  38. N.... M....

    I can't understand almost none of the lyrics because I am not English native, but I love it too much to let it go.

  39. Y.... M....

    did anyone else hear the "snip snip" after he says "cut me loose"

  40. M.... ....

    did this man actually say “snip snip” at 1:55

  41. A.... J....

    Anyone know where i can get a set it off CD

  42. I.... C....

    I love the "snip snip" part lol

  43. J.... F....

    They really need to make some new merch, I’d definitely buy it

  44. d.... ....

    Listening to this on repeat after gf cheated on me

  45. A.... C....

    Why do the hands have 6 fingers???????????????????????????????????????

    A.... C....

    6 fingers on both equals 12, the top hand on the wrist has 12:00 these songs were released on February 1 at midnight, the album is named Midnight. Midnight is 12:00. So there's the explanation. You're welcome!

  46. t.... s....

    I've listened to this song SO MANY TIME and I only just realized that at about 1:55 Cody says "snip snip" in the background and I am living for it

    t.... s....

    oh my GOD NOW I CANT UNHEAR IT!

  47. R.... D....

    Y'all know when a school shooter runs outa amo so the emo kid hands him a fresh mag. That emo kid listens to cody but plot twist I am that emo kid. O

  48. c.... ....

    love how ppl can't just comment abt set it off like they have to compare them to other bands just enjoy the song smh

  49. C.... C....

    Imagine smashmouth singing the Allstar lyrics to this song.




    Let that sink in for a moment

  50. T.... G....

    Why does each hand have 6 fingers?

    T.... G....

    6+6=12
    12=12:00
    12:00=Midnight
    The album

  51. N.... ....

    How am I just noticing that there's 12:00 on the wrist of the top hand?

  52. C.... ....

    I’m absolutely in love with how this song ends. It’s so clever.

  53. C.... R....

    como adoro esta banda, lo mejor !!

  54. T.... O....

    Funnily enough this is in fact my mama's current favourite song off the new album, coincidence. Jokes aside this song is a really stand out song from the album pulling together everything great about Set It Off's style but adding to it at the same time. Great work Set It Off, New album is fantastic and i hope you were able to find yourself in this new style as we have for 10 years of SIO

  55. N.... 1....

    I just realized that this is a really good vibes with earphones

  56. J.... M....

    Cody, who we killin?
    Who would hurt you?

  57. P.... H....

    *won't let you leave me hangin'*
    *ends*
    Hypocrite.

    P.... H....

    You can’t leave him hanging if he hangs up first ;)

  58. D.... A....

    Who knew Set It Off's songs would be nicer

  59. H.... R....

    All their songs remind me of panic so much

  60. F.... N....

    20 dislikes shit thats rude
    22 WHAT "DISRESPECT"
    25 just go to the Sh#@

  61. F.... J....

    I genuinely thought the line "I don't need your handout" was "I don't need you Hannah" and I was like... Name drop








    Yes you will find me in every sio video trust me

  62. C.... ....

    Me: Man, this is such a good song, especially for my OCs.
    Mind: You know what that means.
    Me: no-
    Mind: ANIMATE. NOW.
    Me: ;-;
    Mind: Also, we'll loop this until the song is horrible. Which will never happen. Have fun listening to this.
    Me: Well, that's the bright side.

  63. T.... ....

    I like this one a lot :)

  64. A.... ....

    This album is jam.

  65. G.... ....

    This would be a great metal song

  66. R.... S....

    Won't let you leave me hanging, no more

    Ladies and gentlemen, if you're sick of being disrespected
    Let me hear you sing it, go!

    I don't wanna feel like my money that you're spending
    No I don't wanna feel, that I'm losing 'cause you're winning, baby
    I don't wanna feel like my money that you're spending
    No I don't wanna feel, that I'm losing 'cause you're winning
