Throw It Back Lyrics
[Intro]
Woah
Woop
(This is a Missy Elliott exclusive)
Woah
Yeah
[Verse 1]
Walk up in this thing (Thing), I be on my game (Game)
If it's competition ('Tition), I put them to shame (Shame)
Different kind of chick (Chick), we are not the same (The same)
I raised all these babies, call me Katherine Jackson ('Son)
Please don't steal my style (Style), I might cuss you out (Wow)
What you doin' now (Doin'), I did for a while (While)
Missy, Missy, Missy, go 'head, let it slap (Slap)
I'ma snatch they wigs 'til I see that scalp (Scalp)
Booty, booty clap (Clap), flyin' across the map (Map)
Lambo on the block (Block), lookin' like a snack
I'll show you how I do it (Do it), show you how it's done (Done)
Don't look for another Missy 'cause there'll be no 'nother one
[Chorus]
Watch me throw it back
Watch me throw it back
Watch me throw it back
Watch me throw it back
Watch me throw it back
Throw it back
Throw it back
Throw it back
Watch me throw it back
Watch me throw it back
Watch me throw it back
Watch me throw it back
Watch me throw it back
Throw it back
Throw it back (Uh)
Throw it back
[Verse 2]
Middle finger flip (Flip), get up off my tip (Tip)
Money money clip (Clip), Louis on my hip (Hip)
Lambo be the whip (Whip), like banana split (Split)
Look at all my ice, see the way my jewelry drip
Come up off that lick lick
Yeah, he wanna kick it
But he cannot kick it
Unless he be my dip dip
Call me Missy, Mi'-Mi'
I don't play them trick-tricks
Man, I'm so legit-'git
Watch me flip, reverse it
Flip it and reverse it, stupid with the verses
Man, I got the coat and shoes just to match the purses
Woop, woop, woop, woop, I don't need rehearsing
The way I throw it back, I show the whole crowd how I work it
[Chorus]
Throw it back
Throw it back
Throw it back
Throw it back
Watch me throw it back
Watch me throw it back
Watch me throw it back
Watch me throw it back
Watch me throw it back
Throw it back
Throw it back
Throw it back
Watch me throw it back
Throw it back
Throw it back
Throw it back (Uh, check)
[Verse 3]
Missy make up her own rules
Not many can do what I do
So many VMA's that I could live on the moon
Man, I jump and you leap
Better wake up if you sleep
I did records for Tweet before y'all could even tweet
Y'all be thinkin' shit's sweet
Been hot before you could speak
I'm like Heavy D, everyone love me, capisce?
Need a PJ when I'm takin' flight
Get your review and your ratings right
Missy still got 'em losing control
And every night is still ladies night
[Chorus]
Watch me throw it back
Throw it back
Throw it back
Throw it back
Watch me throw it back
Throw it back
Throw it back
Throw it back
Watch me throw it back
Watch me throw it back
Watch me throw it back
Watch me throw it back
Watch me throw it back
Throw it back
Throw it back
Throw it back
[Outro]
Watch me
Watch me
Watch me
Watch me
