We and us are not nouns. They are called pronouns because they are used to replace nouns. They are used to make a sentence shorter, so if you wanted to say "Lilly, Billy, Bob, and I went to the mall", you could simply instead say "we went to the mall." We is a subject pronoun because it replaces nouns that do the action in the sentence. Us is an object pronoun because it replaces names that receive the action. An example is "the ball hit Jill and me" Jill and me are getting hit and the ball is doing the hitting, so Jill and me can be replaced by us because both are objects. Both we and us can only replace I joined with another noun (Lilly and I, the cat and me).
