“Release The Tension” by Missy Elliott is a b-side to the single of her song “Sock it 2 me” Featuring Da Brat.
The Song was re-recorded by girl group SWV as “Release Some Tension” and featured new rap vocals from Foxy Brown.
Missy’s first rap verse was re-used on “Up Jumps Da Boogie” by Timbaland...
I'm the best, and that's B and that's capital
I hang low like testicles, MC's wanna copy these many flows
Hoes, better back up, foe they get slapped up
Pack up and go tell Mommy that I backed up you
You you you, and your whole crew
What, whatcha whatcha whatcha gon' do? uhh, what whatcha gon' do
To me?, the M-I-double S-Y-E
Wanna battle me, it's gonna be some tragedies
[Verse One]
Mmmm
What's your name
Cause you've got me
You wanna know
What it be like
What the deal is
Where my man at
Can you get with me
You say you got the things that I need
What's your name
Cause you've got me
You wanna know
Who I roll with
Who I be with
Who I'm down with
Do I like to do the nasty things that you do
[Chorus]
Release some tension
Break for, break for intermission
For me and you, you start the kissing
You'll see what you've been missing
Release some, some of your tension
Break for intermission
For me and you, you start the kissing
You'll see what you've been missing
[VERSE TWO]
Mmmmm
You're so fine
I wanna make you mine
I wanna know
Can I be with you
Can you be with me
On the count of three
Me and you, we gon' get romantically
You're so fine
I wanna make you mine
I wanna know
Do you got a girl
Is she good to you
I bet she won't do the things that I'll do to you
[Repeat Chorus]
[Rap]
Uh huh
I be creeping and creeping
With my peoples, my peoples
With my homies, my homies
We be smoking that reefer
Trying to get (coughs) high
Trying to get (coughs) high
So I hit 'em with a broken bang (pop-pop)
Turn me up a notch
Neighbors wanna call the cops
They can't stand to see me rock
Every house is on the block
Nigga knock
Don't stop
Nig-nig-nigga knock
[Repeat Chorus]
