[Verse 1]
Waiting, for your piece of the pie to drop out of the sky
(Gotta go get it)
Hesitating, for somebody else to run and pass you by
(But you never get your time)
[Pre-Chorus]
There ain't no excuse for losing your feet
Drowning in your defeat, on this road of life (Do your thing)
There ain't no excuse for comin' up short
The ball is in your court so reach up and touch the sky
[Chorus]
Are you doin' your thing and doing it well?
Are they looking at you hatin' singing, ooh
Are you doing your thing and doing it good
Do your thing, thing
Do your thing, thing (Do your thing)
Do your thing, ooh
[Verse 2]
Keeping yourself from taking on your perfect dream
(You gotta be open)
And being something somewhere that you read in a magazine
(But you never let you shine)
[Pre-Chorus]
There ain't no excuse for losing your feet
Drowning in your defeat, on this road of life (Do your thing)
There ain't no excuse for comin' up short
The ball is in your court so reach up and touch the sky
[Chorus]
Are you doin' your thing and doing it well?
Are they lookin' at you hatin' singing, ooh?
Are you doin' your thing and doin' it good?
Do your thing, thing
Do your thing, thing
Are you doin' your thing and doing it well?
Are they looking at you hating singing, ooh?
Are you doin' your thing and doing it good
Do your thing thing
Do your thing thing
Are you doin' your thing and doing it well
Are they looking at you hating singing, ooh
Are you doin' your thing and doing it good
Do your thing thing
(Believe can nobody do it better than you)
Do your thing thing
(Believe can nobody do it better than you)
Are you doing your thing, well
Are you letting your dreams, come alive
Are you doing your thing, good
Believe can nobody do it better than you (Can your body do it well, yeah)
Believe can nobody do it better than you
[Bridge]
Gotta walk, gotta break, gotta call, gotta take
Everything that I pray everyday for
Gotta hump, gotta bump, never sit on a stump
Never quit on a swell of a lump
If you really want it bad
You can't ever drag your feet to the beat of the sound of defeat
Even if you got heat, whoa
Never take your mind off the reap you sow...
[Pre-Chorus]
(There ain't no excuse)
There ain't no excuse for losing your feet (Losing your feet)
Drowning in your defeat, on this road of life (Do your thing)
There ain't no excuse for coming up short (Do your thing)
The ball is in your court so reach up and touch the sky (Sky)
[Chorus]
Are you doin' your thing and doing it well
Are they looking at you hating singing, ooh
Are you doin' your thing and doing it good
Do your thing thing
(Believe can nobody do it better than you)
Do your thing thing
(Believe can nobody do it better than you)
Are you doin' your thing and doing it well
Are they looking at you hating singing, ooh
Are you doin' your thing and doing it good
Do your thing thing
(Believe can nobody do it better than you)
Do your thing thing
(Believe can nobody do it better than you)
Are you doin' your thing and doing it well
Are they looking at you hating singing, ooh
Are you doin' your thing and doing it good
Do your thing thing
(Believe can nobody do it better than you)
Do your thing thing
(Believe can nobody do it better than you)
Do your thing, do your thing, baby
Do your thing, all them looking at ya, all them looking at ya
(Believe can nobody do it better than you)
