We Are
Nas Justin Bieber Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Happy birthday

You ain't gotta question it
You already know the answer
The truth don't make us relevant
Hurts but it's necessary
Don't want us to lose what we are
Don't want us to lose what we are
Lose what we are

If it ain't broke then we don't need to fix it
Believing in what she say'll have you livid
Know they won't be happy 'til our love is over
They tryna break us up but you don't wanna get it

They ain't never had your back like how I got it
They ain't never had a chance how we got it
So they can't help but to come and hate on it
They see what we got and you know they want it

Don't question it
You ain't gotta question it
You already know the answer
The truth don't make us relevant
Hurts but it's necessary
Don't want us to lose what we are
Don't want us to lose what we are
Lose what we are

It's like you're always looking for a problem
The raining of equations for you to solve 'em
So quick to turn nothin' right into somethin'
Get the numbers out my phone, go 'head and call 'em

They ain't never had my back like you got it
They ain't never had a chance how you got it
So they can't help but to come and hate on it
They see what we got and you know they want it

Don't question it
You ain't gotta question it (oh)
You already know the answer (already know the answer)
The truth don't make us relevant (the truth don't make us relevant)
Hurts but it's necessary (yeah)
Don't want us to lose what we are
Don't wanna lose, no
Don't want us to lose what we are (yeah)
Lose what we are (yeah)

She texts me "How's you love life?"
And "How are you?", I said "I'm good"
They only get as close as you allow them to
We should be closer together, warm oceans, better weather
Instead of us playing games forever, she says whatever
I says whatever, who get you wetter than a half moon wearer
History sweater, serendipity when you with me
Swear you love that one thing we did that one time in that one place
Blew your mind, you got my mind going when I'm home
I'm serious girl, a much older dude, a whole forty-two
I've accomplished my goals, it's only you
You and I in that wraith, retire my pimp super-fly cape
Just my Mets cap and my badge and I'm straight, Esco

Don't question it
You ain't gotta question it (oh)
You already know the answer (you already know the answer)
The truth don't make us relevant (the truth don't make us relevant)
It hurts but it's necessary (yeah)
Don't want us lose what we are
Don't wanna lose no




Don't want us lose what we are (we can't lose, nah, nah)
Lose what we are (uh)

Happy birthday

You ain't gotta question it
You already know the answer
The truth don't make us relevant
Hurts but it's necessary
Don't want us to lose what we are
Don't want us to lose what we are
Lose what we are

If it ain't broke then we don't need to fix it
Believing in that she say I have you livid
No, they won't be happy 'til your love is over
They tryna break us up but you don't wanna get it

They ain't never had your back like I got it
They ain't never had trust like how we got it
So they can't help but to come and hate on it
They see what we got and you know they want it
Don't question it

You ain't gotta question it
You already know the answer
The truth don't make us relevant
Hurts but it's necessary
Don't want us to lose what we are
Don't want us to lose what we are
Lose what we are

It's like you're always looking for a problem
But there ain't enough equations for you to solve 'em
So quick to turn nothin' right into somethin'
Get the numbers out my phone, go 'head and call 'em

They ain't never had my back like you got it
They ain't never had a chance how you got it
So they can't help but to come and hate on it
They see what we got and you know they want it
Don't question it

You ain't gotta question it
You already know the answer
The truth don't make us relevant
Hurts but it's necessary
Don't want us to lose what we are
Don't want us to lose what we are
Lose what we are

[Nas:]
She texts me "How's your love life?" and "How are you? ", I said "I'm good."
They only get as close as you allow them to
We should be closer together, warm oceans, better weather
Instead of us playing games forever, she says whatever
I says whatever, who get you wetter than a half-moon wearer
HSTRY sweater, serendipity when you with me
Swear you love that one thing we did that one time in that one place
Blew your mind, you got my mind gone when I'm home
I'm serious girl, a much older dude, a whole 42
I've accomplished my goals, it's only you
You and I in that Wraith, retired my pimp super-fly cape
Just my Mets cap and my batch and I'm straight
Esco

Don't question it
You ain't gotta question it
You already know the answer
The truth don't make us relevant
Hurts but it's necessary
Don't want us to lose what we are
Don't wanna lose, no
Don't wanna still lose what we are
We can't lose
Lose what we are

The message in this song is that people get so jealous of seeing someone who has so much going for her that they will pit everything snd everyone against that person for their own personal revenge.
