Work it lyrics
by Missy Elliot



DJ, please pick up your phone
I'm on the request line

This is a Missy Elliott one-time exclusive (Come on)

Is it worth it, let me work it
I put my thang down, flip it and reverse it

If you got a big ***, let me search it
And find out how hard I gotta work ya

I'd like to get to know ya so I could show ya
Put the pussy on ya like I told ya
Gimme all your numbers so I could phone ya
Your girl actin' stank then call me over

Not on the bed, lay me on your sofa
Phone before you come, I need to shave my chocha
You do or you don't or you will or won't ya
Go downtown and eat it like a vulture

See my hips and my tips, don't ya?
See my ass and my lips, don't ya?
Lost a few pounds and my whips for ya
This the kinda beat that go ra-ta-ta

Ra-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta
Sex me so good I say blah-blah-blah
Work it, I need a glass of water

Boy, oh, boy, it's good to know ya
Is it worth it, let me work it
I put my thang down, flip it and reverse it

If you got a big ***, let me search it
And find out how hard I gotta work ya

If you a fly gal, get your nails done
Get a pedicure, get your hair did

Boy, lift it up, let's make a toast-a
Let's get drunk, that's gon' bring us closer
Don't I look like a Halle Berry poster
See the Belvedere playin' tricks on ya

Girlfriend wanna be like me, never
You won't find a bitch that's even better
I make you hot as Las Vegas weather
Listen up close while I take it backwards

I'm not a prostitute, but I could give you what you want
I love your braids and your mouth full of floss
Love the way my ass go bum-bum-bum
Keep your eyes on my bum-bum-bum

And think you can handle this gadong-a-dong-dong
Take my thong off and my ass go vroom
Cut the lights off so you see what I could do

Is it worth it, let me work it
I put my thang down, flip it and reverse it

If you got a big ***, let me search it
And find out how hard I gotta work ya

Boys, boys, all type of boys
Black, white, Puerto Rican, Chinese boys
Why-thai, thai-o-toy-o-thai-thai
Rock-thai, thai-o-toy-o-thai-thai (Come on)

Girl, girl, get that cash
If it's 9 to 5 or shakin' your ass
Ain't no shame, ladies, do your thang
Just make sure you ahead of the game

Just 'cause I got a lot of fame supa
Prince couldn't get me change my name papa
Kunta Kinte a slave again, no sir
Picture black sayin', "Oh, yes-a master"

Picture Lil' Kim dating a pastor
Minnie Me and Big Ren can outlast ya
Who is the best, I don't have to ask ya
When I come out you won't even matter

Why you act dumb like "Uh, duh"
So you act dumb like "Uh, duh"
As the drummer boy go ba-rom-pop-pom-pom
Give you some-some-some of this cinnabun

Is it worth it, let me work it
I put my thang down, flip it and reverse it

If you got a big ***, let me search it
And find out how hard I gotta work ya

To my fellas
I like the way you work that

To my ladies
You sure know how to work that (Come on)

Yeah, this is Missy Elliott
I hope you all enjoyed what you heard so far
You know, I was sittin' here thinkin', like
Big Daddy Cane and Public Enemy
Salt'n'Pepa, Light E.P.M.D.L.
Run DMC, Kaos One, Rock 'em
Most of them artists used to dance
And still get respected in the street
Don't be scared to banquet or ball-golar
Move all fours, I can
Saw Michael Jackson 43 million
Sure, everybody had a zipper-jacket
And half of these toughs had-a glow the match, you feel me?
Yo, it's OK, though
You know, if you wanna be hard and ice-grill
And Harlem-shake at the same time, whatever
Let's just have fun
This is hip-hop, man, this is hip-hop
