Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm my own walkman
I'm my own walkman
I'm my own walkman
I'm my own walkman
[Verse 2]
Say what?
Say what?
When you're walkin' down the street
And you got your walkman
And you're walkin' the the beat
And you got your walkman
And you're walkin' the the beat
[Verse 3]
Say what?
Let me tell you somethin'
What I prefer
Instead of listenin' to some music in your ears
Try singin' to yourself
Let me tell you somethin'
[Verse 4]
Say what?
Instead of puttin' on your walkman
Instead of puttin' on your walkman
Try singin' a tune
Try singin'
[Verse 5]
All kinds of beats for all kinds of feets
All kinds of beats for all kinds of feets
All kinds of beats for all kinds of feets
All kinds of beats for all kinds of feets
[Verse 6]
Hey, what?
Say what?
Real soulful beat, when you wanna look cool
They be sayin', "Hey, how you get to walk like that?"
You say, "Well, I'm, I'm my own walkman"
[Verse 7]
I'm my own walkman
I'm my own walkman
I'm my own walkman
I'm my own walkman
I'm my own walkman
I'm my own walkman
