Lyrics
Why must we swing so hard? Sometimes they don't understand
It's just the way we live, it's in the lay of our land
In everything we do
We got to tell our life story
It might be the blues or pop, how we rock or hip-hop
Oh yes, a little bit of church and don't forget the doo-wop
That's how we swing
We swing
Why do we swing so hard? It's just the cycle of life
With all its ups and the downs, got us spinning around
We can reach and touch the sky
With our feet standing on the ground
From the rhythm of the bush to the soul of the streets
We be tap dancing on ya head or break dance like it's Beat Street
That's how we swing
That's how we swing
That's how we swing
Why do we swing so hard? It's the rhythm of life
It's how we all get down, the whole world around
It's a special kinda magic
Part of our melanated sound
From the rising of the sun, till the end of the day
We be shining like a diamond, that's just our way
That's how we swing
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh, that's how we swing
That's how we swing
That's how we swing, that's how we swing
That's how we swing, that's how we swing
That's how we swing (We swing, we swing)
Everything is a swing
Swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, swing, swing
Swing and swing and swing and swing and swing
It's all swing
That's just how, how we swing
Don't matter what you do, it's still swing
We do what we do, how we do it, like we do it
When we do it all the time (We swing)
That's who we are (We swing)
We swing
Oh, we swing
We swing
We swing
We swing
We swing
