So you're still thinking of me
Just like I know you should
I can not give you everything, you know I wish I could
I'm so high at the moment
I'm so caught up in this
Yeah, we're just young, dumb and broke
But we still got love to give

While we're young dumb
Young, young dumb and broke
Young dumb
Young, young dumb and broke

Same one from 2010 (oh, yah)
And we're living it up, forget about sorrow (oh)
Party all night (night)
Same time tomorrow
Keeping my cool (cool)

You always say I'm wrong
I'm pretty sure I'm right
What's fun about commitment?
When we have our life to live (hey!)
Yeah, we're just young dumb and broke (skrt, skrt!)
But we still got love to give (Uncle Jxm, aye)

Back in high school Boat was so emotional
Now I'm super rich and everything I do is so promotional (yah)
I didn't finish college, so my momma thought I wouldn't be shit
I had to prove her wrong (yah)
That's why I talk about her now in every single song
Had to struggle for a while (I did)
Just so I could live it up when it's time to live (ok)
I knew something had to give (yah)
Broke as hell using Lyft (why?)
