Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am teaching you the thing
You are playing with the thing 2x
I say push it up, push it up
Move am, move am
Wind am wind am slow
Make you no dey rush am
Move am move am
Take it slow baby and wind for me
Move it closer and do let me see
You want to know the thing, you for be humble
Make you no dey take am dey gamble
Ino be gidigidi ibe simple
Make you no dey rush am so you no go fumble
Y[de agort yi reba wo fie [de[n ne amirikatuo yi
I can give to you all nite long
If you feel it sing the song
Y[b[hyeea hyeea ay[ sono
Y[b[hye soa hye so a agye s[ antpa ntn krono
(Gye s[ antpa ntn krono) ansaana y[bie y[n pono yeaa
P wizzle tell al di likkle gal dem
Small girl, you don't know the thing
I am teaching you the thing
You are playing with the thing 2x
I say push it up, push it up
Move am, move am
Wind am wind am slow
Make you no dey rush am
Move am move am
Aso we go
I be king, I treat you like queen
Take a ring, before we do a thing
You be the reason why everyday, I love to sing
Shake ma me ma me, wind again again and again

If you do am well, you go fi end up being ma Mrs.
Small girl, you don't know the thing

The lyrics to Atumpan ft Stone (Bradez)'s song The Thing are about a man teaching a woman how to dance sensually. He is urging her to take it slow and move in a way that is both seductive and playful. The woman is depicted as inexperienced and eager to learn. The man sees himself as a master of the dance and is confident in his ability to teach her how to do it right.
The lyrics are suggestive and flirtatious, but not graphic. They rely heavily on metaphor and euphemism to convey their message. The woman is described as a "small girl" who needs to be taught "the thing." The man is portrayed as a king who is treating the woman like a queen. He is offering her a ring, but only after they have danced together.
The chorus of the song is catchy and upbeat, with the repeated refrain "push it up, move am, wind am wind am slow." The song is designed to get people moving and dancing, and it succeeds in doing that.
