Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just like I know you should
I can not give you everything, you know I wish I could
I'm so high at the moment
I'm so caught up in this
Yeah, we're just young, dumb and broke
But we still got love to give
Young, young dumb and broke
Young dumb
Young, young dumb and broke
Young dumb
Young, young dumb and broke
Young dumb broke high school kids

We have so much in common
We argue all the time
You always say I'm wrong
I'm pretty sure I'm right
What's fun about commitment?
When we have our life to live
Yeah, we're just young dumb and broke
But we still got love to give
While we're young dumb

The lyrics of Khalid's song "Young Dumb & Broke Remix" begin with him acknowledging that someone is still thinking of him and vice versa. Despite the fact that he cannot give them everything they want, he acknowledges that they still have love to give, nonetheless. The tone of the song is one of youthful exuberance and recklessness. The lyrics talk about how they are all young, so they have the luxury of making mistakes and not worrying about the consequences of their actions. Even though their youth and lack of knowledge may lead to them being "dumb and broke," they still have love to spare. Khalid seems content in his current situation, and he celebrates youth and the freedom it affords, rather than feeling weighed down by the responsibilities of adulthood.
The chorus of the song is the main focal point, where Khalid repeats the phrase "young dumb and broke" several times. He wants to emphasize that it's okay to be young, make mistakes, and not have money, because they still have love to give. He then jumps to thinking about the future and what it has in store for him and his significant other. He acknowledges that they argue all the time and that he is pretty sure he is right. He then asks a rhetorical question: "what's fun about commitment?", implying that they're too young to be thinking about their future toward marriage, children, and responsibility. Overall, the song is about enjoying the present moment, being young and careless, and finding love in the simplest things.

Young, dumb and broke (yah)
Back in high school Boat was so emotional
Now I'm super rich and everything I do is so promotional (yah)
I didn't finish college, so my momma thought I wouldn't be shit
I had to prove her wrong (yah)
That's why I talk about her now in every single song
Had to struggle for a while (I did)
Just so I could live it up when it's time to live (ok)
I knew something had to give (yah)
Broke as hell using Lyft (why?)
I could never get a lift, now they all want one from me (damn)
Stay away from the fiends, message from the King of the Teens
