It's Your Thing
Booker T & The MG's Lyrics

"It's Your Thing" is a classic soul song recorded by the instrumental R&B band, Booker T. & the MG's. The song was originally written by the Isley Brothers, who recorded and released it in 1969. The team of Booker T. & the MG's, however, decided to put their own twist on the song by giving it a funkier edge with heavy use of horns and organ.

The song's lyrics are simple yet powerful, revolving around the idea of individualism and the importance of staying true to oneself. The opening line of the song sets the tone - "It's your thing, do what you wanna do" - emphasizing the value of personal freedom and the ability to control one's own destiny. The rest of the lyrics continue to reinforce this theme, with lines like "Nobody's telling you what to do" and "It's your thing, do what you wanna do, I can't tell you who to sock it to". Essentially, the song is a celebration of being who you are and living life on your own terms.
