(Do it on my own)
Remady
Lately, I see no red only green lights
It took some time but that's alright
I feel it all come together
And it's my turn and I'm running out
The day got me feeling alive
It's my time and I'm ready so,
I'm running out, I gotta go
Yeah I can do it on my own
All that I sacrificed, I don't need anymore
Yeah I can do it on my own
It don't matter what you say (say, say, say)
Lately, I been caught out acting crazy
That's all over, now it's changing
I've worked it out, now it's alright
I've worked it out
It's my life and I'm telling you
It's the end of feeling alone
It's my time and I'm ready so,
I'm running out, I gotta go
Yeah I can do it on my own
All that I sacrificed, I don't need anymore
Yeah I can do it on my own
It don't matter what you say (say, say, say)
Yeah I can do it on my own
All that I sacrificed, I don't need anymore
Yeah I can do it on my own
It don't matter what you say (say, say, say)
Try to make sense of it all
Breaking up over silly things that you heard
Well I never thought that I would let go
Of this precious thing called love
Wasted it all, wondering where did it go
All I know is that nothings gonna bring back yesterday
We rise and we fall, but now I'm gone
(I can do it on my own)
Yeah I can do it on my own
All that I sacrificed, I don't need anymore
Yeah I can do it on my own
It don't matter what you say (say, say, say)
Yeah I can do it on my own (do it on my own girl)
All that I sacrificed, I don't need anymore
Yeah I can do it on my own
It don't matter what you say (say, say, say)
The lyrics of Remady's song "Do It On My Own" talk about self-empowerment and moving on from a past relationship.

The green lights represent opportunity and positivity, which the singer can now see clearly. They declare that they can do everything on their own and do not need anyone's help or validation anymore.

They have worked through their issues and have realized that they are in control of their life. They acknowledge the ups and downs that come with living, but they are still determined to move forward and succeed. The song concludes with a declaration of being independent and self-sufficient. The singer has let go of their past relationship and is ready to live their life on their own terms.

With the right marketing and management Craig David can make a comaback here in the USA. He's coming out with a new album hopefully end of this year or early next year which will be made in the USA so I hope that will inspire him to make it on the billboards.
