Who We Are
jessika Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We were always on our own
No one ever said we should be proud
Or embrace the fact of standing out
For too long we just played along
Always putting up a show
But that was then, look at us now
All we want is for them to know
We are who we are
And who we are is who we want to be
We don't have to listen
'Cause all that counts is you and me
And then we're rising when we fall, oh, oh
In the middle of the storm
We're standing tall, oh, standing tall
And if they tell us why we're wrong, oh, oh
Then the love in our hearts will keep us strong, oh, oh
Uh listen up. Listen up
It's me, Jenny B, what you get is what you see
As for Jess over here, she's a special VIP
So you better listen carefully
If they dissin' you on Twitter
Don't get sad, don't be bitter, don't give up and be a quitter
Show them you're better (Yeah, hell no)
If they say so, get in the car, rev it up, and be it a star
'Cause you know who exactly who we are
Give it to 'em, Jess
We are who we are (yeah)
And who we are is who we want to be
We don't have to listen (don't listen)
'Cause all that counts is you and me (hey, hey, hey, hey)
And then we're rising when we fall, oh, oh
In the middle of storm
We're standing tall, oh standing tall (this is who we are)
And if they tell us why we're wrong, oh, oh (we will march onward, spreading the love)
Then the love in our hearts will keep us strong, oh, oh (yeah, yeah, yeah)
They can make it silent
But in our hearts we'll never be
And then we're rising when we fall, oh, yeah (yeah, yeah)
In the middle of the storm
We're standing tall, oh, we're standing tall
And if they tell us why we're wrong, oh, oh, yeah
Then the love in our hearts will keep us strong, oh, oh

Line by Line Meaning
Bullied from the moment we were born
We have faced rejection and hardship since birth
We were always on our own
We had to rely on ourselves from the start
No one ever said we should be proud
We were never encouraged to be confident in ourselves
Or embrace the fact of standing out
We were not taught to celebrate our uniqueness
For too long we just played along
We pretended to be someone we were not for a while
Always putting up a show
We acted a certain way to please others
But that was then, look at us now
But things have changed and we have grown
All we want is for them to know
All we desire is for others to recognize us for who we truly are
We are who we are
We are unique and true to ourselves
And who we are is who we want to be
We have chosen to be ourselves and not conform to societal norms
We don't have to listen
We do not need to conform to others' ideas of who we should be
'Cause all that counts is you and me
What truly matters is that we stay true to ourselves and support each other
And then we're rising when we fall, oh, oh
Even in the face of adversity, we rise up
In the middle of the storm
In the midst of chaos and turmoil
We're standing tall, oh, standing tall
We stand confidently and proudly as ourselves
And if they tell us why we're wrong, oh, oh
If others criticize or judge us for being ourselves
Then the love in our hearts will keep us strong, oh, oh
We will rely on our love for ourselves and each other to stay strong
Uh listen up. Listen up
Pay attention to what we have to say
It's me, Jenny B, what you get is what you see
I am authentic and genuine, and not pretending to be someone else
As for Jess over here, she's a special VIP
Jessika is unique and special
So you better listen carefully
Take heed of our message
If they dissin' you on Twitter
If someone is being mean to you online
Don't get sad, don't be bitter, don't give up and be a quitter
Do not let their words affect you or give up on being yourself
Show them you're better (Yeah, hell no)
Prove to them that you are strong and confident in yourself
If they say so, get in the car, rev it up, and be it a star
If others judge or criticize you, do not let it stop you from pursuing your passions
'Cause you know who exactly who we are
We know exactly who we are and will not let others change that
And then we're rising when we fall, oh, oh
Even in the face of adversity, we rise up
They can make it silent
Others may try to silence us or our message
But in our hearts we'll never be
But we will always stay true to ourselves and our beliefs
