[Verse 2: Missy Elliott]
Y'all little (Uh-huh)✦
Tryna✦ act bigger,✦ don't you get the picture?✦ (Uh-huh)✦
Every✦ freakin' year I come with something sicker✦ (Sicker)✦
Fans takin'✦ flicks, wanna✦ get my picture✦ (Uh-huh)✦
Freaks only✦ speak, "Do you know Jigga?"✦ (Uh-huh)✦
Strange mother******✦ tryna✦ be my nigga✦ (Uh-huh)✦
Turned✦ your man to an ass-licker (Uh)
Cheatin'✦ ass men, these cheatin'✦ ass men (Uh)
Time to stop gamin'✦ and stay the fuck in (Uh)
You feel the rhythm, I'm 'bout to kill 'em
[Chorus: Da Brat, Missy Elliott & Timbaland]
Smack, smack, smack
Right across✦ your melon,✦ pronto✦
Huh, I said, smack, smack, smack
Right across✦ your melon,✦ pronto✦ (Uh)
[Verse 3: Da Brat]
You don't wanna✦ get smacked right quick
Wit' a upper✦ cut, tight fist
I don't give a fuck if you don't like this
Still get paid to bust the right shit
Still get paid when I hop on the dick
Not a prostitute, I gotta✦ a lot of loot
But if you knock the boots, at least cop the coupe
What I'm s'posed✦ to do? Starve for you
This ain't sparkle nigga,✦ I can't crawl for you
That's impossible
I make the rules✦
I pay the dues
I wear the pants
Bought the shoes, they Prada✦ too
Fuck with me, you lose
Step to me and get bruised
Your chances are not few, they none
So what I'm bitchy?✦
Roll a fat blunt wit' Missy✦ in the front wit' me
Tim' hit me, ow, with the bang to the boogie the beat
Burnin'✦ 'em wit the heat
It don't concern me, when niggas✦ talk shit
They just wanna✦ learn me
When they see me, I permanently damage✦ they shit internally
And slap, slap, slap 'em right across✦ the melon✦ (Haha)✦
[Chorus: Timbaland]
Nigga,✦ slap, slap, huh
Right across✦ your melon,✦ easy✦ (Easy)✦
[Verse 4: Ms. Jade]
I'm the M-S-J-A-D-E
Toes and lows, bling like I'm B.G
I don't need you niggas✦ help, shit, I write my own
Gimme a beat and a muthafuckin' microphone
Picture✦ this shit, me, Missy✦ and Timbaland
Was 'bout to take it to the streets, but the chicken ran
Oh shit, it's gettin✦ kinda✦ hot in here
Oh shit, make niggas✦ stop and stare
Talk dirty,✦ rock-a-bye a birdy✦
Smack the shit out of Clyde 'cause Bonnie should've paid me
Get old heads for they checks that sign right
And I get lil' boys for they dough on prom night
'Cause I do my thing, knots in a pocket✦
Smack, smack, smack
All up in your noggin,✦ early✦
I said, smack, smack, smack
All up in your noggin✦
[Chorus: Timbaland]
Nigga,✦ slap, slap, huh
Right across✦ your melon,✦ easy✦

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

Missy Elliott and Da Brat utilize repetitive, high-cadence rhythmic patterns over minimalist production to prioritize sonic impact and percussive flow over complex lyrical metaphors.

Rhyme Architecture: The verses rely heavily on monorhyme structures using a '-icker' and '-it' sound respectively, creating a driving, hypnotic momentum that reinforces the aggression of the track.
Verified Doubles & Entendres

"don't you get the picture / wanna get my picture"

① Understanding the metaphorical scope of Missy's career success.② The literal act of fans taking a photograph with her.

"Not a prostitute, I gotta a lot of loot"

① A direct rebuttal to sexual objectification.② A financial flex emphasizing independence and success through legitimate artistry.

Exceptional rhythmic consistency and flow pockets

Effective use of minimalist ad-libs to create tension

Assertive delivery that commands the beat

High level of internal rhyme density

Vocabulary breadth is limited by the repetitive nature of the rhyme schemes

Metaphorical content is largely superficial and relies on aggressive posturing

Minimal thematic evolution across the bars
