about

Nobody's Ting is a tongue in cheek song about an unbalanced relationship. "Ting" is a slang word from Toronto's heavily Caribbean influenced culture, more specifically Jamaican culture. NDAI, who is of Guyanese descent, takes this concept and asserts her power and command for respect in the song, reminiscent of classic blues & glamorous lounge singers of yesteryear with a modern twist.

lyrics

[Chorus]
Let me break it down
Let me break it down
Let me break it down
Break it down for you

Let me break it down
Let me break it down
Let me break it down
Break it down
Let me break it down for you

[Verse 1]
I ain’t never been nobody’s ting
You must be mistaking, me
For the ones that you’re othering
I ain’t never been just an optional
Waiting on your call
Debating whether I should give it all
To you

Give it all to you baby
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeahhh

There you go doing it all
For the wrong reasons
You be skeezin’ you a dog
Try to play me but instead
You play yourself
Thinkin’ you gon’ buy a drink
Then take me to hotel
Look so good, intellectual, bad
Woman that you never thought
You ever could have
Ego so bruised
Thought you’d never lose
How many ways can I sing
I ain’t nobody’s ting


[Chorus]
Let me break it down
Let me break it down
Let me break it down
Break it down for you

Let me break it down
Let me break it down
Let me break it down
Break it down
Let me break it down for you

[Verse 2]
Let’s make one thing clear
Ain’t cavalier
With this gold that I have here
No small talk
Let me see you walk, in your truth
Stimulate my mind
Feed my soul
Get my body all outta control
Ain’t no ting
There’s no excuse
Before you get the panties off
There’s a few things you gotta do


Ain’t nobody’s ting
Ya better buy the ring, now you

Might be sounding crazy
But that’s just how it be baby, eeeeeay

Let me break it down
Let me break it down
Let me break it all the way down for you

[Chorus]
Let me break it down
Let me break it down, [Let me break it down, Oooooh, Ooooooh]
Let me break it down
Break it down for you, [break it down for you]

Let me break it down
Let me break it down
Let me break it down
Break it down
Let me break it down for you
