Missy Elliott · Miss E....So Addictive [2001]

[Missy]

Ugh, Ay yo Timberland, see what they don't understand

Is we about to flip our whole style on 'em for two double zero

one

(Ay!)

And for those of you who hated (Ay!)

You only made us more creative



[Timberland]

Misdemeanor Ugh!



[Missy]

You don't wanna speak my name

Mess around get that ass blown away

Blaaah!

Fool gone away

I didn't even like your tail anyway

Missy got somethin' to say

I ride down the block in an escalade

Bling bling all in your face

I think you might need to put on your shades

Blaaah!

I know you feel me tho

You hatin' on me, but you hear me tho

Twenty inch rims sittin' crazy low

AAAAHHHHHHH! I'm a crazy ho

I'm a keep the party live

Me and Timbaland gonna flip it tonight

Keep yo hands in the sky

Wave 'em round like your crazy high



[Chorus]

Hugh!

Time to lick shots

Time to see you dance

Hey you, why you frontin'

Blaaah!

Time to lick shots

Time to see you dance

Hey you, why you frontin'

Blaaah!



[Missy]

You don't know who I be

You mammy tell you not to fuck wit me

If I give you head you'll never leave

Raaah!

Stop sweatin' me

Flip it on the black hand side

Look it here boy, don't you even try it

Make me dislocate your spine

My rings put your shine like turpentine

What you comin' around hang out fo?

Baby hell no, you just want my dough

Get cha black ass on the flo

Fool touch me, that's a no no

Raaah!

Mr. DJ won't you play that song

Tell the freaks shake they nasty thongs

Hey boys won't you sing along

Cause we gone rock the party til' the early morn



[Chorus]

Y'all don't hear me (hot)

You got your guns but you don't scare me (ooooooh)

Originality is leary (ugh)

My only style and I ain't sharin' (back up, back up.easy now)

Hey Y'all (hot)

Let's turn it up and tear the club down (ugh)

Grab your drinks and give me two rounds (zooooo)

I'll break you off I'm goin' down down

Watch yourself, I'm about to turn it up



[Chorus]



[Music plays a little]



[Chorus]



[Music fades until end]
