Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What's up, Missy? Timbo
(This is another Missy Elliot exclusive)
[Verse 2]
One for the butters, I came from the gutter
No, I came from my mother but ya know what I mean
Hova's here to stay like permanent crease in your jeans
Me and Missy be the new tag team
Whoop, there it is
We like Rae and Ghost, A.G. and Showbiz
We public enemy number one, our Uzi Weighs a Ton
This is our house, run
[Verse 3]
What happened to those good old days?
When hip-hop was so much fun
Oh, house parties in the summer, y'all
And no one came through with a gun
It was all about good music, y'all
It helped to relieve some stress
Oh, we was under one groove, y'all
So much love between North and West
[Verse 4]
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 day, hey, hey, hey
Hip-hop has changed
Yes it is
[Verse 5]
Remember when we used to battle
On the block before the lights came on
Oh, mama said we would be straight-A kids
If we did our homework like we knew those songs
Salt-N-Pepa, Rakim and P.E.
D.M.C. and Heavy D
Yes, Daddy Kane, Slick Rick too
MC Lyte opened doors for you and me, come on
[Verse 6]
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 day, hey, hey, hey
Hip-hop has changed (Young)
Yes it is
(J. Breezy, let's do it again, ****)
[Verse 7]
Rough, 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"
****, 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, ****
Post Biggie and 'Pac, I gotta hold down the city
Make a **** wanna holler like Missy, but fuck it
Just let a **** MC
The best rapper alive, unquestionably
If you riff on your EP, you gonna need an MD
So you gots to chill 'cause I kill at will
Like solid water dude, y'all **** don't get it
"Kill at Will", solid water, Ice Cube
That's how hip-hop has evolved
Jay-Z's for president, I'm namin' Ra as the national God
[Verse 8]
Me and Jigga, Jigga J-J-J-J Hova
I rocks the mic right whether I'm pissin' drunk or sober
Misdemeanor for finger ringer, I'm stupid fresh
I been hot since LL rocked the Kangol Hat
Yes, yes, the yes-yes, the yes y'all'n
(Aw yeah, aw yeah)
Okay, me, that **** Jigga, fresh dressed in the morning
(Aw yeah, aw yeah)
[Verse 9]
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 day, hey, hey, hey
Hip-hop has changed
[Verse 10]
Come on
I wanna go back in time (Let's go)
Feels like I, I wanna go back in time
Feels like I, I wanna go back in time
Feels like I, I wanna go back in time
Feels like I
[Verse 11]
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 day, hey, hey, hey
Hip-hop has changed
