From JUJ, It’s U2019

Lyrics

K.O.A

[Intro]

That's why I am like I am

It might be hard to understand this, and I really don't care if you do or you don't

It's how you were brought up in this world, that's what counts

[Verse 1]

Yeah, we are the sound of the future

The suburbs, the projects, the neighborhoods

Up to you and me, now it's our turn

Yeah we tryin' to make things better than they were

[Pre-Chorus]

Haven't you heard

That we can learn from bridges they've burned? Yeah

Yeah, we are the sound of the future

We don't really care what they think of us

[Chorus]

Young like the night

Under the city lights

We're the kids of America

We rock A$AP

Like Rocky, we're fightin' back

We're the kids of America

We're here to stay (We're here to stay)

Different but all the same

Land of the free

We won't give up the dream

We're the kids of America

[Interlude]

Dressed up in his slacks and his white shirt

I can't say my upbringing isn't, isn't good because I was taught by so many better

[Verse 2]

Yeah, we are the brains of the future

Technically, technology is our cure

Turn society like a U-turn

Yeah, we're tryin' to make things better than they were

[Pre-Chorus]

Haven't you heard

That we can learn from bridges they've burned? Yeah

Yeah, we are the brains of the future

We don't really care what they think of us

[Chorus]

Young like the night

Under the city lights

We're the kids of America

We rock A$AP

Like Rocky, we're fightin' back

We're the kids of America

We're here to stay (We're here to stay)

Different but all the same

Land of the free

We won't give up the dream

We're the kids of America

[Bridge]

Every color, every race

Every right to be in this place

East to the West, it's freedom we chase

We're the kids of America

Every color, every race

Every right to be in this place

East to the West, it's freedom we chase

The future's in our hands for all of us

[Chorus]

Young like the night

Under the city lights

We're the kids of America

We rock A$AP

Like Rocky, we're fightin' back

We're the kids of America

We're here to stay (We're here to stay)

Different but all the same

Land of the free

We won't give up the dream

We're the kids of America

[Outro]

That's why I am like I am

It might be hard to understand this, and I really don't care if you do or you don't

It's how you were brought up in this world, that's what counts
