Missy Elliott Back in the Day (feat. Jay-Z)
"Brothers and sisters!
Brothers and sisters, I don't
know what this world is coming to!"
[Jigga] Whassup Missy? Timbo!
[Missy] This is.. another.. Missy
[Jigga] Hip-Hop! Yes!
[Missy] Elliott, exclusive
[Jay-Z]
Yes, uhh
One for the butters, I came from
the gutter
No I came from my mother but y'all know
what I mean
Hov' is here to stay like permanent crease
in your jeans
Me and Missy be the new +Tag Team+
"Whoomp! There It Is"
We like, Rae & Ghost, A.G. and
Showbiz
We "Public Enemy #1," our "Uzi Weighs a Ton"
This is our house, RUN! [laughing]
[Missy]
What happened to those good old days? {HA?}
When hip-hop,
was so much fun
Ohh, house parties in the summer y'all
(c'mon)
And no one, came through with a gun
It
was all about the music y'all
It helped.. to relieve
some stress {HA?}
Ohh, we was under one groove y'all
(y'all)
So much love {HA?} between North and West
[Chorus: Missy Elliott]
Go back in the day
British Knights and gold chains
Do the prep and cabbage
patch
And wear your laces all fat
Back in the
dayyyyyyyy, hey hey
Hip-Hop has chaaaanged
[Missy]
Remember when we used to battle? (uh-huh)
On
the block {HA?} before the lights came on
Ohh! Mama said we
would be straight A kids (c'mon)
If we did our
homework, like we knew those songs
Salt-N-Pepa, Rakim, and
P.E. {HA?}
D.M.C, and Heavy D
Yes! Daddy Kane, Slick
Rick too (oh-OOH!)
MC Lyte ("Paper Thin") opened, doors for
you and me, c'mon
[Chorus]
[Jay-Z]
Young! J. Bizzy, let's do it again nigga
Grew up the
way it oughta be
From day KRS-One all the way up to
"Nineteen Naughty Three"
To M.O.P., we "Cold as Ice"
Nigga we rock it from the "Dre Day" to the Suge Knight
So
fuck Chuck Phillips and Bill O'Reilly
If they try to
stop hip-hop, we all gon' rally nigga
Post Biggie and
'Pac I gotta hold down the city
Make a nigga wanna
'holla' like Missy, but fuck it
Just let a nigga
MC
The best rapper alive, unquestionably
If you rip on
your +EP+ you gonna need an +MD+
So "You Gots to Chill"
cause I "Kill at Will"
like solid water dude; y'all
niggaz don't get it
"Kill at Will," solid water? Ice
Cube
Ha ha, that's how hip-hop has evolved
Jay-Z's for President, I'm namin Ra as the National
God
[Missy]
Me and Jigga, Jigga J-J-Jay-Hova
I rocks the mic right whether I'm pissy drunk or sober
Misdemeanor fo'-finger ringer I'm stupid FRESH

C'mon... AW YEA,

Okay, me, that nigga Jigga, fresh dressed in the
mornin
C'mon... AW YEA, AW YEA
[Chorus]
[ad libs and whistling]
[Missy]
I wanna,
go back in, time (let's go)
Feels like I, I wanna, go
back in, time
Feels like I (Y'all remember "Self
Destruction"?)
I wanna, go back in, time
(Where all
the rap artists got on a record together?)
Feels like I, I
wanna, go back in, time
(I used to love them days, no
tension, let's go!!)
[Chorus]
