We Were Something

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 little bit a rock a little west coast pop 

Still a bunch a 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 

Lookin 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 rollin’ 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 yea 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
