"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 

Photos 

[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 

I've been hot since LL rocked the Kangol HAT 

Yes yes, the yes yes, the yes y'alln 

C'mon... AW YEA, 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]
