Work It Lyrics:
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
Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gnaht ym tup i
Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gnaht ym tup i
If you got a big, let me search ya
To find out how hard I gotta work ya
Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gnaht ym tup i
Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gnaht ym tup i
Come on
I’d like to get to know ya, so I could show yaou
Put the pussy on ya, like I told ya
Gimme all your numbers so I can phone ya
Your girl acting stank then call me over
Not on the bed, lay me on your sofa
Call before you come, I need to shave my chocha
You do or you don’t or you will or you 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 in my waist for ya
This the kinda beat that go ra-ta-ta
Ra-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 thing down, flip it and reverse it
Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gnaht ym tup i
Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gnaht ym tup i
If you got a big, let me search ya
To find out how hard I gotta work ya
Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gnaht ym tup i
Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gnaht ym tup i
Come on
If you’re a fly gal, get your nails done
Get a pedicure, get your hair did
Boy lift it up, let’s make a toast, ah
Let’s get drunk, it’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 it hot as Las Vegas weather
Listen up close while I take you backwards
Sdrawkcab ti ekat ot ekil yssiM yaw eht hctaw
I’m not a prostitute but I can give you what you want
I love your braids and your mouth full of fonts
Love the way my ass go ba-bump, ba-bump-bump
Keep your eyes on my ba-bump, ba-bump-bump
You think you can handle this badonka-donk-donk
Take my thong off and my ass go boom
Cut the lights off so you see what I can do (Come on)
Is it worth it? Let me work it
I put my thing down, flip it and reverse it
Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gnaht ym tup i
Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gnaht ym tup i
If you got a big, let me search ya
To find out how hard I gotta work ya
Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gnaht ym tup i
Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gnaht ym tup i (Come on)
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 (C’mon)
Girls, girls, get the cash
If it’s nine to five or shakin’ you ass
Ain’t no shame ladies, do your thing
Just make sure you ahead of the game
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 sayin’, oh yes’a massa
Picture Lil’ Kim dating a pastor
Minute Man, Big Red can outlast ya
Who is the best? I don’t have to ask you
When I come out, you won’t even matter
Why you act dumb like ugh, duh
So you act dumb like ugh, duh
And the drummer boy go pa-rum, pa-pom-pom
Give you some-some-some of this Cinnabon (Come on)
Is it worth it? Let me work it
I put my thing down, flip it and reverse it
Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gnaht ym tup i
Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gnaht ym tup i
If you got a big, let me search ya
To find out how hard I gotta work ya
Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gnaht ym tup i
Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gnaht ym tup i (Come on)
To my fellas (Ooh, good god)
I like the way you work that
To my ladies (Woo)
You sure know how to work that (Good god)
