This song is about how Brent’s life was heavily influenced by his friends. This song is also just generally him remembering the old times in this autobiographical album. Even the title, “Gang over luv”; saying its his crew rather than other things such as love. Similar to “bros over hoes”.
[Verse 1]
I was hella broke then, I ain't have a dime
But I was always focused, I ain't waste no time
I ain't have a car in my name, I used to walk to work every day
Me and my dawg, like it or not, I came out alright
[Pre-Chorus]
All the homies, we came up the same way
And I swear ain't nothing change
Got a little bit of change in my pocket but I maintain
We were young and in this world, chasin' dreams and girls
Runnin' from our problems
I know that we older now, but that's what we were all about
[Chorus]
I remember we were young, young and dumb
Just some niggas in a rush to grow up
I remember we were young, young and dumb
It was gang over love, that was us
[Verse 2]
I remember we would cut class, my teachers used to hate me
The only reason that I did that was to keep from goin' crazy
I didn't give a damn 'bout my grades, that's probably why we failed the ninth grade
Me and my dawg, like it or not, we came out okay
[Pre-Chorus]
All the homies, we came up the same way
And I swear ain't nothing change
Way before I ever moved out the house and did the damn thing
We were young and in this world chasin' dreams and girls
Runnin' from our problems
And I know we're older now, but that's what we were all about
[Chorus]
I remember we were young (Ooh), young and dumb (Ooh)
Just some niggas in a rush to grow up
I remember we were young, young and dumb (I remember that)
It was gang over love, that was us
[Outro]
Woah-woah, woah-woah
Yeah-yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh
