Walked to work 'cause my car broke down
I walked to work

I walked to work 'cause my car broke down
My feet started hurting on the other side of town

It's kinda hard in the city when you got no cash
My girl won't even call me

See I was broken by the man he kept me down
He kept me cold and penniless - shazaam
But now I paid my bills and I'm doing my thing
And I got your girl to call me back

It's the same reason why we're doing our thing
Ordinary people gonna stand up sing
It's the same thing that made the big band swing

I been riding your bike with my shoes untied
I've been making big moves without looking on the inside
Baby that's all right for you
But that ain't gonna work for me

Simple to see the things they saw
The fire in the sky (yo, I was blinded)
Well I remember it all said
I got my deuce and my own space ride
And I got your girl to call me back, why not

It's the same reason why we're doing our thing
Ordinary people gonna stand up sing
It's the same thing that made the big band swing (la la la la)
Well, you can't sing the song without the girl
(I think about her every time I say my rhyme)
Some things you're gonna know and some you never will

Some things you'll never know
And some you will
And some you will drink and some will spill
And some will burn up and some will freeze
And some will come together with the greatest of ease

(Yo, I think about her every time I say my rhyme)
Some things you're gonna know and some you never will
We keep doing our thing
For reasons, we keep doing our thing
The reason I'll never know
A child was born on the edge of [???]
She said I'll be with you for someday
