My Own Thang

(album: Empire: Original Soundtrack Season 2 Volume 2 - 2016)

[Verse 1 Bre-Z & Jussie Smollett:]
Said I gotta do, gotta do my own thang
I do my own thang, do my own thang
I gotta do my own thang, do my own thang
Yeah
Can't nobody tell me, can't nobody
Tell me what to do, tell me what to do, can't nobody uh
Everything that I do is me
What you mean we gon' keep it 100?

[Hook Bre-Z & Jussie Smollett:]
New strings to the struggling, making something outta nothing, yeah
Uh, from nothing to something, I do it, I want it, I get it, so I'm getting to it
Doing my own thang, I came this far, it's all me doing what I do
I gotta do my own thang, I gotta do it my way
Doing my own thang, tripping on nobody, making my moves
I gotta do my own thang, yeah I gotta do it my way

[Verse 2 Jussie Smollett:]
I ain't heard what they been saying, I'm too busy doing my own thing
In your mouth keeping money, don't even care what my own thinks
Can't nobody understand it cause I got it in my family
But it was never handed to me, I work hard to be what you see

[Hook Bre-Z & Jussie Smollett:]
New strings to the struggling, making something outta nothing, yeah
Uh, from nothing to something, I do it, I want it, I get it, so I'm getting to it
Doing my own thang, I came this far, it's all me doing what I do
I gotta do my own thang, I gotta do it my way
Doing my own thang, tripping on nobody, making my moves
I gotta do my own thang, yeah I gotta do it my way

[Verse 3 Bre-Z & Jussie Smollett:]
Yeah, it's been a long time, no flexing, it's been a long grind
I made it through all of these hard times
Go harder so yeah I'm gon' shine
And every time you see me, Freida on the front line
Didn't make it here making apologies
Hate it or love it, do me
No matter what they say
I made it and I did it my way, did it my way

[Hook Bre-Z & Jussie Smollett:]
New strings to the struggling, making something outta nothing, yeah
Uh, from nothing to something, I do it, I want it, I get it, so I'm getting to it
Doing my own thang, I came this far, it's all me doing what I do
I gotta do my own thang, I gotta do it my way
Doing my own thang, tripping on nobody, making my moves
I gotta do my own thang, yeah I gotta do it my way
Doing my own thang, tripping on nobody, making my moves
I gotta do my own thang, yeah I gotta do it my way
Making my own moves
I gotta do my own thang, yeah I gotta do it my way
