Lyrics
[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 I
ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gniht ym tup I
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 I
ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gniht ym tup I
[Verse 1]
I'd like to get to know ya so I could show ya
Put the pussy on ya, like I told ya
Give me all your numbers, so I can phone ya
Your girl actin' stank, then call me over
Not on the bed, lay me on your sofa
Call before you come, I need to shave my cho-cha
You do or you don't, or you will or won't ya?
Go downtown and eat it like a vulture
[Verse 2]
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 ba, 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
[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 I
ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gniht ym tup I
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 I
ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gniht ym tup I
[Verse 3]
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 gon' bring us closer
Don't I look like a Halle Berry poster?
See the Belvedere playin' tricks on ya?
[Verse 4]
Girlfriend wanna be like me, never
You won't find a bitch that's even better
I make you hot as Las Vegas weather
Listen up close, while I take it backwards
sdrawkcab ti ekat elihw, esolc pu netsiL
I'm not a prostitute, but I could give you what you want
I love your braids and your mouth full of fronts
You love the way my ass go boo-boom, boo-boom-boom
Keep your eyes on my boo-boom, boo-boom-boom
You think you can handle this badonkadonkdonk
Take my thong off and my ass go boom
Cut the lights on, so you see what I could do
[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 I
ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gniht ym tup I
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 I
ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gniht ym tup I
[Bridge]
Boys, boys, all type of boys
Black, white, Puerto Rican, Chinese boys
Why-thai, thai-o-toy-o-thai-thai
Why-thai, thai-o-toy-o-thai-thai
Girls, girls, get that cash
If it's nine to five, or shakin' your ass
Ain't no shame, ladies, do your thang
Just make sure you ahead of the game
[Verse 5]
Just 'cause I got a lot of fame supa
Prince couldn't get me change my name, papa
Kunta Kinte, a slave again, no, sir
Picture Blacks sayin', "Oh, yes, massa"
Picture Lil' Kim dating a pastor
Minute man, Big Red can outlast ya
Who is the best? I don't have to ask ya
When I come out, you won't even matter
[Verse 6]
Why you act dumb like? Uh, duh
So you act dumb like? Uh, duh
As the drummer boy go, ba rum-pa-pum-pum
Give you some, some, some of this, Cinnabon
[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 I
ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gniht ym tup I
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 I
ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gniht ym tup I
[Outro]
To my fellas
Good God, I like the way you work that
To my ladies
You sure know how to work that, good God
