We Are
ft. NaS Lyrics

Happy birthday
Just an opening line, not related to the rest of the song

You ain't gotta question it
There's no need for you to doubt our relationship

You already know the answer
You already know that we are good together

The truth don't make us relevant
Even if others don't believe in our relationship, the truth is that we are happy together

Hurts but it's necessary
The criticism we face can be painful, but it is a necessary obstacle to overcome

Don't want us to lose what we are
We don't want our relationship to change or deteriorate in any way

Lose what we are
We don't want to lose the special connection we share

If it ain't broke then we don't need to fix it
If our relationship is working well, there's no need to try and improve it unnecessarily

Believing in what she say'll have you livid
Taking other people's negative opinions about your relationship seriously will only upset you

Know they won't be happy 'til our love is over
People who criticize our relationship are hoping that it will fail in the end

They tryna break us up but you don't wanna get it
Others are actively trying to separate us, but you refuse to believe it

They ain't never had your back like how I got it
No one has supported you like I have

They ain't never had a chance how we got it
Others have not had as good of an opportunity to have a successful relationship like we have

So they can't help but to come and hate on it
Because they are jealous of our relationship, they criticize it instead of being happy for us

They see what we got and you know they want it
People see how happy we are together and wish they could have a similar relationship

It's like you're always looking for a problem
You tend to focus on the negative aspects of our relationship instead of enjoying the positive ones

The raining of equations for you to solve 'em
You overthink things and try to find solutions to problems that don't really exist

So quick to turn nothin' right into somethin'
You are too sensitive and take insignificant events and turn them into problems

Get the numbers out my phone, go 'head and call 'em
If you don't trust me, go ahead and check my phone for yourself

They ain't never had my back like you got it
No one has supported me like you have

Don't question it
Again, there's no need to doubt our relationship

You already know the answer (already know the answer)
You already know that we are good together

It hurts but it's necessary (yeah)
The criticism we face can be painful, but it is a necessary obstacle to overcome

Don't wanna lose, no
We don't want to lose our special connection

We can't lose, nah, nah
We are strong enough to overcome all the criticisms and obstacles thrown at us

She texts me "How's your love life?"
Someone (possibly an ex-girlfriend) is checking up on my current romantic life

"And how are you?", I said "I'm good"
I responded positively to that inquiry

"They only get as close as you allow them to"
Other people's involvement in our relationship depends on the level of closeness we allow them to have

We should be closer together, warm oceans, better weather
We should be in a better place in our relationship, with good and happy surroundings

Instead of us playing games forever, she says whatever
We should stop playing games with each other and just be honest and straightforward

I says whatever, who get you wetter than a half moon wearer
I respond positively and confidently to her advances

History sweater, serendipity when you with me
Our relationship has a meaningful, historical connection and being together feels like fate

Swear you love that one thing we did that one time in that one place
You constantly reminisce about a specific moment we shared, indicating a strong connection

Blew your mind, you got my mind going when I'm home
Our shared experience was memorable and meaningful, and I think about it when we're away from each other

I'm serious girl, a much older dude, a whole forty-two
I'm a grown man and I'm serious about our relationship

"I've accomplished my goals, it's only you"
I have achieved what I wanted in life, and now all I care about is being with you

You and I in that wraith, retire my pimp super-fly cape
We will ride in a luxurious car together, and leave behind any previous connotations of a flashy lifestyle

Just my Mets cap and my badge and I'm straight, Esco
I only need my baseball cap and my ID badge to be content and happy, while shouting out to his nickname "Esco"
