(/ - Teddy Riley (Heavy D.)
We got our own thaaaang ("Get up and do my thang")
We got our own thaaaang (A diddley-diddley-diddley-diddely-diddely-Deee)
We got our own thaaaang
We got our own thaaaang (We've got our own thang)

("Drop it")

We got our own thaaaang (A diddley-diddley-diddley-diddely-diddely-Deee)
We got our own thaaaang (A diddley-diddley-diddley-diddely-diddely-Deee)
We got our own thaaaang (A diddley-diddley-diddley-diddely-diddely-Deee)
We got our own thaaaang


(Heavy D.)
("HEY!") Every-body, shake your bo-dy
We don't ill, we chill at a 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 it's holding up the resident
With my particular style, style particular
Extracurricular, smoother and trickier
Throwing on lyrics like you throw up a flapjack
You're a Chicken McNugget, and I'm a Big Mac
Brainstorm soloist, have a Coca-Cola and
Doing very well 'cause it took the right road to this -
path! Make the under-take, the recordbreaker
Get up on the floor, do the "Heavy D shake-a"
Started with a pow, and I'ma end it with a BANG (yo.)
.we got our own thang

(Heavy D.)
Picture the set, girlies wet with sweat
In the corner people sittin down they've had as much
as they could possibly get;
Meanwhile I'm lampin, feeling like a champ and
Push up on a cutie, phone digits I'm stampin (*echoes*)
The place was packed though, stuffed like an Oreo
Everybody broke for a Heavy D. video
Pumpin 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
Because 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 (*echoes*)
Love is a legend, me I'm legendary at it
Flippin on the mike makes me a rappin acrobat
Don't try to swing, because you didn't even HANG (yo...)
.we got our own thang

(DJ scratches "Heavy D.")

(Heavy D.)
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'ma end it with a BANG (yo...)
.we've got our own thang

We Got Our Own Thang Lyrics

Yo man, you ready to drop this, man? (Yeah-eee)
Well kick it for me one time...

"Pass" (Drop it)

Heavy D & the Boyz was an American hip hop group led by Heavy D. The Boyz were G-Wiz (born Glen Parrish), "Trouble" T. Roy (born Troy Dixon), and DJ Eddie F (born Edward Ferrell). The group maintained a sizable audience in the United States through most of the 1990s.

Heavy D was born Dwight Errington Myers on 24 May 1967 in Jamaica. His family moved to Mount Vernon, New York when he was a young child.

Heavy D & the Boyz were the first group signed to Uptown Records; their debut, Living Large, was released in 1987 (see 1987 in music). The album was a commercial success, though Big Tyme (1989, 1989 in music) was a breakthrough that included four hits. Trouble T. Roy died at age 22 in a stage accident on 15 July 1990 (see 1990 in music), which led to a tribute on the follow-up platinum album, Peaceful Journey (1991, 1991 in music). Pete Rock & CL Smooth created a tribute to Trouble T. Roy called "They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)" which is regarded as a hip-hop classic.

Heavy D & the Boyz gained more fans by appearing in the theme song for the television program In Living Color and also MADtv ,and Heavy D performed the rap on Michael Jackson's hit single "Jam." However, the group's next album, Blue Funk, was a critical and commercial failure compared to their previous success. Heavy D then began focusing on his acting, appearing in the television shows Roc and Living Single before returning the music charts with Nuttin' But Love (1994, 1994 in music). After appearing in the off-Broadway play Riff Raff at Circle Repertory Company, Heavy D returned to recording with the hit Waterbed Hev. He then acted in the motion pictures Life and The Cider House Rules before joining the cast of the television show Boston Public. In 1997, Heavy D collaborated with B.B. King on his duets album Deuces Wild rapping in the song "Keep It Coming." A new Heavy D & the Boyz album is slated for 2007.

Heavy D died on November 8, 2011 in Los Angeles, California, at the age of 44. He collapsed outside of his Beverly Hills home. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
