[There's been alot of shit we've been through, so we decided to write this song]
[We wan't to tell you what it's like for every bad shit to go wrong]
(We've been kicked in the ass, felt the aftermath, when i come down we're fucking through)
[And it's funny how we're not the only one's who got alot of this shit from you]
[Now with this in mind we've realized one thing we'd like to share with you]
[When it all falls apart don't let them fuck you up and knock them down if you have to]
Don't fuck with us
L-E-N
'cause we drink too much
We've been waiting long in line
We've gotta make up some time
So raise your glass and pump some gas
If you fuck around we'll kick your ass
L (L) E (E) N (N)
L is for liquor
E is for everyday
N is for now you done just bought another len album
You sucker
The song "We Are..." by Len is an anthem of defiance against the obstacles the band had to face. The lyrics speak about the challenges they had to overcome, their resilience, and their strength not to let anyone bring them down. The song begins with a confession of the band's ongoing struggles and how they have decided to use their experiences to write a song that people can relate to. The lyrics mention how they have been kicked down by life, but through the power of music, they have come out stronger than before. The lines "When it all falls apart, don't let them fuck you up, and knock them down if you have to" suggest that the band believes in standing up for yourselves in the face of adversity.
The chorus of the song starts with the defining statement, "We are L-E-N." The band asserts its identity and warns those who would try to mess with them by saying, "Don't fuck with us." They then repeat their name and explain why they should not be messed with, as they "drink too much." The song continues by saying that Len has been waiting long in line and now must make up time. They motivate themselves and their audience to keep going with the line, "So raise your glass and pump some gas." The song ends with the band spelling out their name and the explanations of what each letter supposedly stands for, including liquor and everyday things.
