Lyrics:

“We Got Our Own Thang” peaked at #3 on Billboard’s Rap Singles chart and #10 on Billboard’s R&B chart, staying on the chart for 17 weeks in 1989.
Drop it

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

Everybody, shake your body, we don't ill, we chill at party
Keep a groove that's sensual, three-dimensional, unquestionable
The lover is professional
Got a category, my own and I'm the president
Don't be alarmed but I'm sewing up the resident
With my particular style, particular, extracurricular, smoother and
Trickier
Throwing up lyrics like you throw up a flapjack
You're a Chicken McNugget and I'm a Big Mac
Brainstorm soloist, have a Coca-cola with it, doing very well
'Cause I took the right road to this
Path
Maker, undertaker, record breaker
Get up on the floor and do the Heavy D shake
Started with a pow and I'mma end it with a bang
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

Picture the set, girlies wet with sweat
In the corner people sitting down
They've had as much as they could possibly get
Here while I'm lamping
Feeling like a champ and push up on a cutie
Phone digits I'm stamping
The place was packed though, stuffed like an Oreo
Everybody broke for a Heavy D video
Pumping in stereo
People said, 'Here we go,'
A cutie down in 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
Flipping on the mic makes me a rapping acrobat
Don't try to swing, cause you couldn't even hang
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

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'mma end it with a bang
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
