Lyrics
[Intro]
Yo, man, you ready to drop this, man?
Yeah
Well, kick it for me one time
Drop it
[Chorus]
We got our own thang (Get up and do my thang)
We got our own thang
We got our own thang
We got our own thang (We've got our own thang)
Drop it
We got our own thang
We got our own thang
We got our own thang
We got our own thang
[Verse 1]
Everybody, shake your body
We don't ill, we chill at a party
We groove that sensual, three-dimensional
Unquestionable, beloved and professional
Got a category of my own and I'm the president
Don't be alarmed but I'm sowing up the residence
With my particular style, style's particular
Extra-curricular, smoother and trickier
Throwing up lyrics like ya throw up a flapjack
You're a Chicken McNugget and I'm a Big Mac
Brain snacks, solo with it, have a Coca-Cola with it
Doing very well, 'cause I took the right road for this
Path-maker, undertaker, record-breaker
Get up on the floor, do the Heavy D shake-ah
Started with a pow and I'ma end it with a bang
We got our own thang
[Chorus]
We got our own thang (We got our own thang)
We got our own thang
We got our own thang (We got our own thang)
We got our own thang
[Verse 2]
Picture the set, girlies wet with sweat
In the corner, people sittin' down, they've had as much as they could possibly get
People, I'm lamping, feeling like a champ and
Push up on a cutie, phone digits I'm stampin'
Place was packed, though
Stuffed like an Oreo
Everybody broke for a Heavy D video
Pumpin' in stereo
People said, "Here we go"
A cutie down the front said, "Heavy, you're my hero"
Understand this before you make a comment
There's always a meaning in a Heavy D statement
In this life I strive for improvement
Be your own guide, follow your own movement
Love is a legend
Me, I'm legendary at it
Flippin' on the mic makes me a rappin' acrobat
Don't try to swing 'cause you couldn't even aim (Yo)
We got our own thang
[Chorus]
We got our own thang (We got our own thang)
We got our own thang
We got our own thang (We got our own thang)
We got our own thang
Drop it
[Refrain]
Heavy D
Heavy D
Heavy D
Heavy D
Heavy D
Heavy D
Heavy D
Heavy D
[Verse 3]
Original individual, smooth criminal
Dance a lot, dance a little, shuffle to the middle
Don't clock anybody, let 'em all clock you
Don't be down with anybody, let 'em all be down with you
Stay self-managed, self-kept, self-taught
Be your own man, don't be borrowed, don't be bought
Started with a pow and I'ma end it with a bang
We got our own thang
[Chorus]
We got our own thang (We got our own thang)
We got our own thang
We got our own thang (We got our own thang)
We got our own thang
We got our own thang (We got our own thang)
We got our own thang
We got our own thang (We got our own thang, baby)
We got our own thang
We got our own thang (You've gotta move your body)
We got our own thang
We got our own thang
