We Are
Alex M.O.R.P.H & Paul van Dyk Lyrics

Ey ey ey ey ey
Expression of excitement and energy

Let's go
Motivational phrase to begin the song

How can you judge my path
Challenging the notion of judging someone's journey

When you know my path is chosen truss
Asserting that one's path is predetermined and certain

My bars come through like shuriken and make you jump no shonen rasengan
Boasting about the power of one's lyricism and comparing it to anime references

Family is set in stone friends are carved in after you know
Emphasizing the importance of family and the distinction between them and friends

Wearing new gang clothes screaming this is sparta this is sparta
Exhibiting pride in one's new identity with a reference to a famous battle cry

We are what we are
Simple statement of self-acceptance

This is what we do uh huh
Affirmation of one's purpose

Check my face im a star woo woo
Boasting about one's success and fame

And we come with that platoon
Referring to one's crew and the unity they share

Got the city on my back you know
Assuming responsibility for the success and reputation of one's city

Asserting one's confidence and authenticity

Boasting about one's natural behavior and personality

I just worry bout my income stacking up
Focusing on financial success and stability

So if your on a grind then come stack with us
Encouraging others to join in the pursuit of success

Rap with us
Inviting others to collaborate on music

Yeah jump on the track with us
Continuing to emphasize the desire for collaboration

Join the team with us
Making it clear that one's goals are shared by the group as a whole

It will never be treasonous
Assuring potential collaborators that their participation will not be seen as betrayal

Cause we keep the city on our back like a shoulder blade
Continuing to assert responsibility for the success and reputation of one's city

Now that im getting paid
Boasting about one's financial success

But you dont know the days
Acknowledging the hard work and struggle it took to achieve success

And all the nights I pray
Alluding to the idea of hard work and prayer leading to success

That it would end this way
Expressing satisfaction with one's current situation

And I would blow like a live grenade
Metaphorically describing one's success as explosive and powerful

It's a war zone woo
Using military language to describe the competitive nature of the music industry

Better stake your claim
Encouraging others to assert themselves and pursue success

I got a shot so I'm taking aim and when I shoot its safe to say
Asserting one's confidence to take risks and succeed

You disappear like david blaine you disappear like david blaine o my
Using a magic trick as a metaphor for one's ability to outperform and overcome competition

Comparing oneself to a successful soccer coach and strategist

Causing fire with the matchsticks boom
Boasting about one's ability to ignite passion and intensity

Ripping all through the plastic eyyy
Metaphorically breaking through barriers and succeeding despite obstacles

Lost it now Im frantic let's go
Acknowledging moments of doubt or anxiety but quickly moving past them with energy and motivation

Dont try

Great vine
Using a metaphor of a grapevine to describe one's success and influence

Take time
Encouraging others to be patient and persistent in their pursuits

Rolling with some sick guys
Boasting about the quality and reputation of one's group

Low key
Expressing that one operates quietly and modestly

Showed me
Acknowledging the influence and guidance of others

How to keep it cool like lofi
Using a music genre as a metaphor for calmness and composure

Switch up the variant loki jheeeze
Comparing oneself to a Marvel character and expressing the ability to adapt and change

Dont get to cozy
Warning oneself and others not to become too comfortable or complacent

And dont act like you know me
Asserting that others do not truly know or understand oneself

Rejecting the idea of performing without passion or authenticity

Using a metaphor of spraying water to describe the act of rapping

Asserting that one is serious and committed to success

Do this like schmit all day day day day
Referencing a famous basketball player to express dedication to one's craft

Expressing that one is on track for success

To give you one wish like im ray j ray j
Referencing a singer and reality TV star to express one's ability to grant others' desires

Boasting about one's earnings and wealth

Like its automated
Using language of technology to describe one's financial success

Now I'm alternating
Describing a change in one's life or situation

Between the life I got and the life Im making
Describing a transition between one's past and future

Balance my pride and passion on a libra scale
Using astrology to describe the need to balance one's ego and emotions

There's no need to fail
Asserting that success is attainable

I never been to jail
Boasting about one's clean record

Yeah Im on the right track and I cant derail
Expressing confidence and determination to continue on the path to success

Using a metaphor of breathing to describe one's sense of relief and release

Excellency

Referring to a rapper and using his name to describe one's ability to conquer and defeat others

And send em back to trizzee
Using a reference to a geographic location to express one's dominance over others
