Gorillaz – Do Ya Thing Lyrics (Feat. James Murphy & Andre 3000)

I’m a pale imitator of a boy in the sky
With a cap in his head and a knot in his tie
I’m the light in the mall when the power is gone
A shadow in a corner, just playin’ along!
I’m gonna lay in my bed, I’m rolling aside
But if a get a car, a moment to ride
Because I know if I ever shared a living with you

You’ve got a holding chain
And you don’t know what to do!
You’d stop!

You wanna do it
But you don’t know what you doin’ baby
A-a-a-a-aha
You wanna feel it,
But you don’t know what you’re feeling tonight!
(Alright how are we doin’?)
And if you’re thinking
And I don’t know what you’re thinking baby
A-a-a-a-aha
You go on thinking
And we’ll go out and make it alright!
(Alright how do you do?)

I’m inpregnable, incredible, the setting of quo
I’m a late Chimerida got a heart and soul,
I got Saturday night, enough’s been said
But If I ever had to do it,
Well, you know I wouldn’t care
I’d just get down, I’m loving the feat
And if I wanna talk back, the message is free
And there’s a fire, a ray and out in the Sun
And if you can’t partake, you get ’em alive
You get a heart

You wanna do it
But you don’t know what you doin’ baby
A-a-a-a-aha
You wanna feel it,
But you don’t know what you’re feeling tonight!
(Alright how are we doin’?)
And if you’re thinking
And I don’t know what you’re thinking baby
A-a-a-a-aha
You go on thinking
And you gonna make it alright!

Every time we try, we get nowhere
But wouldn’t it be nice if we were just normal people, yeah
Trying so hard to act like we don’t care
But it’s true, you do, nothing is left
So I guess I’m right!

New word, onomatopoeia boom
Quit acting like you don’t wanna be here.
Fuck around and get jumped like leap year
Get a gloc in the club, make ya really wanna leave me-a-lone.
Get off and gone, gone
OK, OK, OK back to the happy song
Rap ain’t nuttin’ but the art talking shit
My girl look pretty up there, right it
My plaid pants, my solid future
Asinine ass, and a gorgeous cooch-er
I’m an outcast, but you’re into me
Summer got mad cause Winter blew me
That juicy fruit, that shplooshy-shploosh
Generation X on bloop de bloop
Get duked, got get duked the duke
Everybody hit the floor, we through the roof
Like a chimney, I commend me
How come it be, some lame ass
Nigga talkin’ ’bout ‘Aww, he don’t rap enough’
But y’all rap a lot and I’m like ‘Wrap it up, hoe’
You ain’t Scarface, you ain’t Willaby
You ain’t Bushwick, you ain’t killing me
Better go play wit’ yo ma’fuckin’ mama,
Bet you still stay wi’ yo ma’fuckin’ mama
Keep sleeping, I’mma rock my pijamas
In the day time I swear, I promise

How come blacks don’t play baseball?
Y’all white, know y’all can take all this fly shit
I stay fin to the take off

Do ya damn thang, do ya thang-a-thang
Do ya damn thang, do ya thang-a-thang
Do ya damn thang, do ya thang-a-thang
You ain’t fresh squeezed juice nigga, you that tang
Do ya damn thang, do ya thang-a-thang
Do ya damn thang, do ya thang-a-thang
Do ya damn thang, do ya thang-a-thang
But is ya really Slick Rick? No you Dana Dane

Bet it up, head-er up,
a lava language, and the vocals volcanic
If it ain’t fix, don’t broke it, don’t panic
If it ain’t hits, it ain’t shit, god damn it
If it ain’t this, it ain’t dope, it don’t flush
If it ain’t hip, it don’t hop, well then hush
Man, they sound like…
Man, they stole yo…
Man, they look like…
Nope it ain’t us.

Do ya damn thang, do ya thang-a-thang
Do ya damn thang, do ya thang-a-thang
Do ya damn thang, do ya thang-a-thang
Is ya really Slick Rick? No you Dana Dane

Do ya damn thang, do ya thang-a-thang
Do ya damn thang, do ya thang-a-thang
Do ya damn thang, do ya thang-a-thang
You ain’t fresh squeezed juice, nigga you that tang

Every time we try, we get nowhere
But wouldn’t it be nice if we were just normal people, yeah
Trying so hard to act like we don’t care (I don’t care)
But it’s true, you do, nothing is left
So I guess I’m right!

Flip the page, our days are revelations (Hiiide!)
Space is strange, doctor, I’ve got no patience!
Oh, it’s all a part of the process (Okay, okay)
Nothin’s new, it’s true, cool, I admit, shit, I guess you’re right!

    It’s “New word, onomatopoeia (Boom) Quit acting like you don’t wanna be here” Boom is an example of onomatopoeia because a boom is the sound a boom makes (like splash for a splash noise)
