Lyrics
We are what we are
We accept our true nature
Ain't no goin back
No possibility of reverting to a previous state
We are what we are
Reiteration of self-acceptance
Ain't no goin back
Emphasis on irreversible change
You don't know how to act, yeah
Criticism of someone's behavior
We are what we are
Restating acceptance despite challenges
Leave it in the past
Suggesting leaving past issues behind
Why you treat me so bad, yeah
Questioning mistreatment
Why do I feel like a piece of shit
Expressing feelings of low self-worth
Seen everyone fade away like mist
Observing others fading away like mist
I try to live on but I don't forget
Attempting to move forward without forgetting
I know I still got life to live
Acknowledging there is still life to live
I'm on my own now
Emphasizing independence
All on my own
Being alone and self-reliant
Y'all don't know the real me
Claiming others don't know the true self
No they don't
Reinforcing lack of understanding from others
Had to go down the drain to know the truth
Learning the truth through difficult experiences
But now I'm feeling great and I'm sipping champagne
Feeling positive and celebratory now
(Yeah)
Celebrating with champagne
Far away I go
Expressing a desire to go far away
I don't need you anymore
Declaring independence from someone
Yeah
Reinforcing detachment from the past
I had a good time that turned to bad times
Reflecting on a positive past turning negative
Call it a bad vibe
Labeling a negative experience as a bad vibe
Don't need no bad vibes
Rejecting negativity
We are what we are
Reiterating acceptance of one's identity
Ain't no goin back
Confirming irreversible change
You don't know how to act, yeah
Rebuking someone's inappropriate behavior
We are what we are
Reiteration of leaving the past behind
Leave it in the past
Encountering mistreatment and questioning it
Why you treat me so bad, yeah
Expressing frustration with mistreatment
Yeah yeah, I don't give a fuck no more
Asserting a lack of concern anymore
Yeah yeah yeah, I don't really give a fuck no more
Repeating indifference
(No more)
Emphasizing the absence of concern
Yeah yeah yeah, I don't give a fuck no more
Reiterating the lack of concern
Yeah yeah yeah, I don't really give a fuck no more
Continuing the theme of indifference
(No more)
Stressing the absence of care
I gave you everything I had
Having given everything to someone
Now don't go and try to make me mad
Warning against attempts to provoke anger
I can see in you're eyes when you're truly sad
Perceiving true sadness in someone's eyes
You can't disguise what's really inside
Recognizing the inability to hide true emotions
We are what we are
Reaffirming acceptance of self
Ain't no goin back
Confirming irreversible change
You don't know how to act
Questioning inappropriate behavior again
We are what we are
Reiterating acceptance despite challenges
Leave it in the past
Encouraging leaving past issues behind
Why you treat me so bad
Expressing frustration with mistreatment again
