Missy `misdemeanor` Elliott Back In The Day(feat Jay-z Lyrics

Back In The Day(feat Jay-z Lyrics

"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

 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]
