Overall Meaning

"We Will Rock You" by Queen and 5ive is a song about empowerment and toughness. It opens with the lines "Buddy you're a boy, make a big noise / playin' in the street, gonna be a big man someday." This verse is about a young boy who is playing in the streets and is going to be a big man someday. There's a sense of encouragement here, with the idea that even though he's just a boy now, he can become something great in the future. The line, "You got mud on yo' face / You big disgrace / Kickin' your can all over the place" suggests that the boy is somewhat of a troublemaker or a rule-breaker, but it doesn't diminish the fact that he has potential.


The second verse switches to a young man who is "Shoutin' in the street gonna take on the world someday." This verse is full of confidence, with the image of a young man determined to succeed. The line, "You got blood on yo' face / You big disgrace / Wavin' your banner all over the place" suggests that this young man has already faced some challenges and has come out stronger because of it.


The final verse speaks to an old man who is "Pleadin' with your eyes gonna make you some peace someday." This verse is a little less hopeful than the others, suggesting that this old man has perhaps lived a difficult life and is looking to find some peace. However, the chorus remains the same throughout, emphasizing the idea that no matter who you are or where you come from, you can be empowered and get through tough times.


Overall, "We Will Rock You" is a song about overcoming challenges, standing tall and being proud of what you've accomplished. It's a song that encourages individuality and resilience, and it continues to be popular decades after it was first released.

"We Will Rock You"

We're causin' utter devastation
When we're stepping to the place
And better believe that you can see
We're gonna rock and never stop
And here we go again
Hit you with the flow again
Kick it up the second time around
We'll bring it on again - shout it out

Buddy you're a boy
Make a big noise playin' in the street
Gonna be a big man some day
You got blood on your face, big disgrace
Kicking your can all over the place

Singing
We will, we will rock you (ha ha)
We will, we will rock you

How about little something to get you in the mood
Know what I mean?
Watch your back, we got Queen on this track
Bring the feedback, and let it drop
As long as Five bring the funk
Queen bring the rock
And it don't stop

Buddy you're a young man
Hard man, shouting in the street
Gonna take on the world some day
You got blood on your face, big disgrace
Waving your banner all over the place

(Singing)
We will, we will rock you (ha ha)
We will, we will rock you

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go

Buddy you're an old man, poor man
Pleading With you're eyes
Gonna make you some peace some day
You got mud on your face, big disgrace
Somebody better put you back in your place

We will, we will rock you (ha ha)
We will, we will rock you [x10]

I don't know why people are hating on this version. Being a 90's kid, this is literally the first version I've heard. It was because of them I got to know more about Queen. I personally love both👍
