[Intro]

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

This is a Missy Elliott one-time exclusive, come on

[Chorus]

Is it worth it? Let me work it

I put my thing down, flip it and reverse it

Ti esrever dna ti pilf, nwod gniht ym tup

Ti esrever dna ti pilf, nwod gniht ym tup

If you got a big—, let me search ya

And find out how hard I gotta work ya

Ti esrever dna ti pilf, nwod gniht ym tup

Ti esrever dna ti pilf, nwod gniht ym tup

C'mon

[Verse 1]

I'd like to get to know ya so I could show ya

Put a hurtin’ on ya like I told ya

Give me all your numbers so I can phone ya

Your girl acting stank, then call me over

Not on thе bed, lay me on your sofa

Call beforе you come, I need to shave my cha-cha

You do or you don't or you will or won't ya?

Go downtown and eat it like a vulture

See my hips, big hips, don't ya?

See my butt and my lips, don't ya?

Lost a few pounds in my waist 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

C'mon

[Verse 2]

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 gonna bring us closer (Okay)

Don't I look like a Halle Berry poster?

See the Belvedere playin’ tricks on ya (Ah)

Girlfriend wanna be like me, never

You won't find a chick that's even better (Ah)

I make you hot as Las Vegas weather

Listen up close while I take it backwards

​sdrawkcab ti ekat ot ekil yssiM yaw eht hctaW

I'm not a prostitute, but I could give you what you want

I love your braids and your mouth full of fronts

Love the way my but go bum-bum-bum-bum (Huh)

Keep your eyes on my bum-bum-bum-bum-bum (Okay)

You think you can handle this? Badonka-donk-donk (Woo)

Take my thong off and my tail go boom (Ugh)

Cut the lights on so you see what I could do (C'mon)

[Chorus]

Is it worth it? Let me work it

Ain't no shame, ladies do your thang (C'mon)

Just make sure you ahead of the game

[Verse 3]

Just 'cause I got a lot of fame super

Prince couldn't get me change my name, papa

Kunta Kinte a slave again, no sir

Picture Blacks saying, “Oh yes'a, massa”

Got a Lamborgini so I drive faster

Just to make you haters freakin’ even matter

Admit I’m the sh—, now you want no badder

When I drop this record here, you won’t even matter

Why you act dumb like, yaaa, duh?

So you act dumb like, uhhhhh, duh

As the drummer boy go ba-rom-pop-pom-pom (Ooh)

Give you some-some-some of this Cinnabun (C'mon)

[Break]

To my fellas (Ooh, good god!)

I like the way you work that (Uh-huh, la-la-la-la)

To my ladies (Woo!)

You sure know how to work that (Good god!)

[Outro]

What’s the deal ya’ll? This is Missy Elliott!

And I hope y'all enjoying what y'all hearin’ so far

I was sittin' here thinkin' like—

People like Big Daddy Kane, EPMD, Salt n Pepa, PE, MC Lyte, KRS-One, Rakim, Roxanne, Shontay, African [?]

All them, the whole old school

Alot of them artists used to dance back then and still get respected

Ya know, don't be scared to Bankhead or Bogo

Yo, it's okay though, you know?

If you wanna be hard and ice grill

And Harlem Shake at the same time, whatever

Let's just have fun, it's hip-hop, man, this is hip-hop!
