Janelle Monáe
Do My Thing
[Intro]
Hey hey hey hey

[Verse 1: Estelle]
I wear my clothes like this
Because I can
I wear my hair like this
Because I can
I walk around like this
Because I can
And I do my thing like
'cause this who I am

[Pre-Chorus]
If you are expecting me
To give you an apology
For being nothing that
You used to, used to

Well go on right ahead and wait
Hold your breath and concentrate
Keep holding 'til your face turns blue

[Chorus]
My road it ain't your road
But trust I know
Just where I am going
My flow it ain't your flow
But trust I know
Just how I'm flowing
I’ma do my thing
I’ma do my, I’ma do my thing

Please feel free to hate and complain
Said I'm a do my thing
I’ma do my, I’ma do my thing

Say what you want 'cause
This one ain't gonna change
Said I’ma do my thing

[Intro 2]
Ha ha ha ha ha ha

[Verse 2: Janelle Monáe]
I can't wear my clothes like you
Because I'm not
I can't do my hair like you
Because I'm not
I can't walk around like you
Because I'm not
I can't do my thing like you
Well that just ain't hot
[Pre-Chorus]
And If you are expecting me
To give you an apology
For being nothing like
You used to, used to

Well go on right ahead and wait
Hold your breath and concentrate
Keep holding till your face turns blue

[Chorus]
My road, it ain't your road
But trust I know
Just where I am going

My flow it ain't your flow
But trust I know
I know just how I'm flowing
I’ma do my thing
I’ma do my, I’ma do my thing

Please feel free to hate and complain
I'mma a do my thing
I’ma do my, I’ma do my thing

Say what you want 'cause
This one ain't gonna change
I’ma do my thing
[Verse 3: Estelle & Janelle Monáe]
You don't know where I am going
And so you think I am lost
I ain't on your page, OK
So to you that means I'm off

When I dance, I dance
To the beat of a drummer
You don't hear and you can't see

So if I look off beat to you
Well the problem must be you, not me
Irregular but never irrelevant
Unusual but never uncool

You're not cut from my clothes
You never get me, or I don't get you
Either a believer of the fact
That unique equals love
So if I'm going to fast for you
Open your mind and speed off

[Chorus]
My road, it ain't your road
But trust I know
Just where I am going (where I'm going)

My flow it ain't your flow
But trust I know
Just how I'm flowing
I’ma do my thing
I’ma do my, I’ma do my thing

Please feel free to hate and complain
I'm a do my thing
I’ma do my, I’ma do my thing

Say what you want 'cause
This one ain't gonna change
I’ma do my thing
