"We Were Something" lyrics

We were something, weren’t we
Laid-back
We were something way back
We were, we were

When I was a kid we used to sit up in my room and listen closely
To every single word that Dr. Dre and Snoop were throwing
Back then we had that 4-track Tascam
Chuck would lay a beat, yeah we were bussing in the basement
Couple kids laying down a little funky track
What I’d give for just a moment we could go back
Back then we didn’t know any rules
Didn’t have to pick a lane, we were just a couple fools

We were something, weren’t we
Laid-back, laid-back
We were something, weren’t we
We were something way back
We were, we were

Fast forward to Beachwood Canyon, D.A.W slamming
Slim on the guitar, Yaden on the Hammond
Sharpening them skills in the school of hard knocks
We were a little bit of rock, a little west coast pop
Still a bunch of kids laying down a little funky track
What I’d give for just a moment we could go back
Back then we didn’t know any rules
Didn’t have to pick a lane, we were just a bunch of fools

We were something, weren’t we
Laid-back, laid-back
We were something, weren’t we
We were something way back
We were, we were
We were something, weren’t we
Laid-back, laid-back
We were something, weren’t we
We were something way back
We were, we were

Carlotta said her first record was Doobie Brothers
Bought a 45, comes from a family of music lovers
Life is a conversation of how we feel about each other
An hour ago I gave her a hug along with my father
Went from performing in the living room to crushing a concert
And from the encore to the interview with the cinematographer
Now the cutlery we eating with is gilded and gossamer
Looking back it’s like we couldn’t have been awesomer
We were something, weren’t we
Something like that spring day with a cool breeze and the right song
Rock and rolling with our best friends and somebody tell me put the jams on
Had the mic in the bedroom
I was freestyling in my church clothes
All praise due to the most high
All praise be to the God flows
Late nights in the studios after mosh pitting at the house shows
KY down to Tennessee then it’s overseas, yeah we out bro
I was just a lil choir boy, lil All-State, lil alto
Look how it all turned out though
We were something, weren’t we

We were something, weren’t we
Laid-back, laid-back
We were something, weren’t we
We were something way back
We were, we were
We were something, weren’t we
We were something, weren’t we
We were something way back
We were, we were
We were something, weren’t we
Laid-back, laid-back
We were something, weren’t we
We were something way back
We were, we were
We were something, weren’t we
Laid-back, laid-back
We were something, weren’t we
We were something way back
We were, we were
