Missy Elliott Back In The Day Ft Jay Z Lyrics

[jay-z] whassup missy? timbo!
[missy] this is.. another.. missy
[jay-z] hip-hop! yes!
[missy] elliott, exclusive

[jay-z]
Yes, uhh
One for the b___ers, 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 s_____z
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'mon

[chorus]

[jay-z]
Young! j. bizzy, let's do it again n____

From day krs-one all the way up to nineteen naughty three
To m.o.p., we cold as ice

Post biggie and 'pac I gotta hold down the city
Make a n____ wanna 'holla' like missy, but f___ it

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? )
