On Our Own
Bobby Brown Lyrics

You want somethin' done?
If you want something done, you are the one who has to do it.

You gotta do it yourself
No one else will do it for you, so you must take action and do it yourself.

Ow!
An exclamation of excitement or enthusiasm.

y'all think this is gonna be another one of those funky joints
The listeners might expect this song to follow a similar pattern as other funky songs.

Heart, soul, d-d-dance!
Encouragement to dance with energy and passion from the heart and soul.

If I was you, and you were me, you ought a be winning
If the roles were reversed and I were in your position, I would strive to be successful.

If you want something better, you gotta want to keep your all
To achieve something better, you must have the determination and willingness to give it your all.

'Cause I believe, so much do we, they know we're not kidding
We are serious about our goals and aspirations, and others can tell by our conviction and dedication.

If you feel the same as me, girl, you gotta learn to take the fall
If you share my drive and ambition, you must be willing to take risks and face failure.

Now I find out that nothing is given
Realizing that success and opportunities must be earned, nothing is guaranteed or handed to us.

Don't know where the cards may fall
We cannot predict the outcome of our efforts or circumstances, so we must persevere regardless.

All I know is that we gotta get it
Regardless of the obstacles we may encounter, we are committed to achieving our goal.

We've gotta make it on our own
We will not rely on others to provide us with opportunities, but instead work hard and create our own success.

Well I guess we're gonna have to take control (On our own)
Acknowledging that we must take charge of our own lives and make things happen.

If it's up to us, we've got to take it home (On our own)
We have the responsibility and ability to finish what we started and make it to the end.

Can't you see that all we need to be a go-getter
Realizing that to succeed, we must have a proactive and assertive attitude.

Gotta make your own decisions, gotta go for what ya know
It is essential to have confidence in our abilities and make choices that align with our values and goals.

There comes a time in our lives, you want to be bigger
There will be moments in our lives where we want to step up, grow and evolve into something greater.

Gotta keep, keep on pushing, you gotta learn to take control, yeah
To make progress and succeed, we must persistently push forward and take control of our lives.

Too hot to handle, too cold to hold
Referencing the Ghostbusters movie, implying that the challenge is both difficult and dangerous.

They're called Ghostbusters and they're in control
The Ghostbusters are the ones in charge and have the responsibility to solve the difficult situation.

Had 'em throwin' a party for a bunch of children
Referring to a scene from the movie, where the Ghostbusters hosted a party for children to distract them from the danger.

While all the while, the slime was under the building
Despite the momentary distraction, the dangerous situation still persisted below the surface.

So they packed up the crew, got a grip came quick
The Ghostbusters immediately took action by preparing themselves and coming together as a team.

Grabbed the proton packs on their backs, and they split
The team prepared their weapons and quickly went to battle the evil entity.

To battle out Vigo, the master of evil
The Ghostbusters faced a formidable opponent who had malicious intentions, and they had to defeat him.

Try to battle my boys? That's not legal
The Ghostbusters are confident in their abilities and are not afraid to confront their enemies.

(Oh we oh) They're in control
Reiterating that the Ghostbusters have taken charge of the situation and are in control.

(Oh we oh) why why ya know it
An exclamation of triumph and energy.

Gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta (on our own)
Emphasizing the importance of taking charge of our own lives and pursuing success with determination.

(Oh we oh) Uh!
An exclamation of excitement or enthusiasm.
