What does 上 mean here?

Question

ずるいずりい、うちのほうが上やったのに上やったのに

Taking 「やった」 as 関西弁の「だった」, does this basically mean:

[Not fair! I was above you.. I was above you...]

or does わたしは「X」のほうが上です。 have another meaning?

What 上 means depends on the context. Could you provide what's previously said? — broccoli forest, Jul 08 '17 at 02:33
does わたしは「X」のほうが上です。 have another meaning? Here in your example sentence it's わたしのほうが （Xより）上です. 「わたしはXのほうが上です」 doesn't make much sense. — chocolate, Jul 08 '17 at 05:13

うちのほうが上やったのに上やったのに

Yes, this やった is the 関西弁 meaning だった. うち is also typical in 関西弁 meaning わたし. It appears to be saying "That's not fair. I was the one above (someone)." And repeating the last part showing the feeling of resentment.
