We Did It
Triumph Over Doubt: Lil Yachty's Anthem of Resilience
Lyrics
For everybody that said that I wouldn't make it
Addressing those who doubted achievement
(We did it, we did it, we did it, we did it, we did it)
Reiteration of accomplishment
I want you to know
Expressing the desire to communicate
(We did it, we did it, we did it, we did it, we did it)
Repeated emphasis on success
I need you to know
Stressing the importance of acknowledgment
For everybody that said we couldn't do it
Referring to those who underestimated ability
(We did it, we did it, we did it, we did it, we did it)
Reaffirmation of accomplishment
Oh we did it
Repeated declaration of success
We did it
-We did it
-We did it, we did it
-So for everyone talking down
Addressing critics and negative influences
Anybody who makes you frown
Encouragement to ignore negativity
Let them know that's its possible
Emphasizing the possibility of success
Oh, its possible
Reiteration of the potential for achievement
'Cause if they ever knock you down
Encouraging resilience in the face of criticism
Get up and let them know you finna run the town
Encouraging determination and assertion
Let them know that you got next
Claiming one's place and future success
No tell them you good now
Asserting current success and empowerment
'Cause you got now
-Don't waste time, do it right now
Encouraging immediate action
'Cause I did it, and you can do it
Personal success as an example for others
For every teacher that said that I wouldn't do shit
Referencing skepticism from authority figures
(We did it, we did it, we did it, we did it, we did it)
Reiteration of accomplishment despite doubt
I want you to know
Expressing the need for recognition
(We did it, we did it, we did it, we did it, we did it)
-I need you to know
Repeated emphasis on acknowledgment
(We did it, we did it, we did it, we did it, we did it)
Stressing the significance of success
To the manager at McDonalds that fired me
Recalling a past experience of being fired
I need you to know, we did it
Insisting on recognition despite past setbacks
Oh I need you to know, we did it, we did it
-Never take negativity from nobody
Advocating for resilience against negativity
Stand tall hold your head high
Encouraging confidence and aspiration
Stand tall hold your head high
-Reach for the sky
-I never take negativity from no one
Refusal to be deterred by others' opinions
Can't nobody tell you no
-Never stop, always go
Encouragement to persist on one's path
Head down your own road
-Never give a fuck, do it if you want to do it
Advocating for pursuit of goals despite obstacles
That's what you gonna do pursue it, just do it
-'Cause we did it, we did it, we did it
Reiteration of achieved success
We did it, we did it, we did it, we did it, we did it
Continued emphasis on accomplishment
We did it, we did it, we did it, we did it, we did it
-We did it, we did it, we did it, we did it, we did it
-We did it
-We did it, we did it, we did it
