Back In The Day 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'monMissy Elliott - Back In The Day - http://motolyrics.com/missy-elliott/back-in-the-day-lyrics.html

[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]
