Teenage Kings
Emblem3 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I take a puff on my cigarette, then I say what up like, hello
Party hard, pedal to the metal
A part of growing up is living like a rebel
No stoppin' the girls from teeny-boppin
No tops, she's rockin' bikini fashions
This backyard boxin, half pipe droppin'
The jocks and the nerds man everybody's rockin
And when we are all looking back (one day when we're lookin back)
We'll think of this night so let's make it last

'Cause we're teenage kings pretending we're famous
And we won't leave til someone gets shameless
It's a funday fight til the Saturday night
When the guys get high and the girls get loose
Teenage kings pretending we're famous, yeah

I take a sip off another Red Bull
Everybody on the move lookin for someone to XO
Everything is good, and everything is cool,
Except for the fool who fell into the pool
What up ladies, I'm glad that you could stop by
Freshman trippin out because he got high
And daisy dukes when you walk by, I swat thighs
Let the good times roll and let the top fly

And when we are all looking back (one day when we're lookin back)
We'll think of this night so let's make it last

'Cause we're teenage kings pretending we're famous
And we won't leave til someone gets shameless
It's a funday fight til the Saturday night
When the guys get high and the girls get loose
Teenage kings pretending we're famous, yeah

Leela and James Mcoll
Jay's actin dumb runnin into walls
Someone's passed out with the candle
We're rollin, we're rollin, like teenage kings

And when we are all looking back
We'll think of this night so let's make it last

'Cause we're teenage kings pretending we're famous
And we won't leave til someone gets shameless
It's a funday fight til the Saturday night




When the guys get high and the girls get loose
Teenage kings pretending we're famous, yeah
