[English]

Bummed out, feelin' low

School's out? Not even close

Caught up, I gotta go

You're the one that I'll be callin' when I need a bro

What's up though? I tell my girls, "What's up, bro?"

I'm on my way, my bruh bruh, I'm walkin' up the front door

And Brody brought the boombox, the music's so explosive (wow)

About to tear the roof off and I'm wildin' with my brosef

Let's shake up every corner of the town

'Til the middle of the night like it doesn't even matter

We skippin' outta class, a hunnid on the dash

The parties that we crash, if you don't like it, fuck you

I'm hangin' with the bros, this is all we know

We livin' by the code, if you don't like it, fuck you

Broski from the day I met you you were there for me

Never find another 'cause you're my only

If you ever need me when you feel lonely

You can count on me, yeah

I'm breakin' all the glass, I'm skatin' through the halls

I'm speedin' through it fast, then smashin' through the walls

I'm with the brosquad, on a boat like there's no laws

Doin' donuts and shootin' Super Soakers at the coast guard

My brothers from another mother, I love 'em, we done it all

Holdin' up the bro code, it's all we know, so no wonder, bruh

Find strength in broheim, that's the way I was brought up

It's a new world, that's why I'm callin' you girls my braddahs

Let's wake up everybody in the town

In the middle of the night like it doesn't even matter

We skippin' outta class, a hunnid on the dash

The parties that we crash, if you don't like it, fuck you

I'm hangin' with the bros, this is all we know

We livin' by the code, if you don't like it, fuck you

Broski from the day I met you you were there for me

Never find another 'cause you're my only

If you ever need me when you feel lonely

You can count on me, yeah

We skippin' outta class, a hunnid on the dash

The parties that we crash, if you don't like it, fuck you

I'm hangin' with the bros, this is all we know

We livin' by the code, if you don't like it, fuck you

Love, bruv, love, bruv

Love, bruv

Bruv, love, bruv

Love, bruv, love, bruv
