We started in 1997
And finished in 1999
Ha, she brought you "The Rain"
"Sock it to me"
"Beep me 911"
And now it's a new year
Not the year 2G
But the year do G
"She's A Bitch"
Definitely the Bitch-to-be right about✦ now
That's right

Missy✦ Elliott
Bring to you
The future✦
And I am Morpheus
If you go to your local phone booth
You can find out what I have to say
About✦ the bitch ¡¡

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

The verse serves as a meta-narrative branding exercise, leveraging pop-culture allusions to establish Missy Elliott and Timbaland as future-facing architects of the R&B/Hip-Hop landscape.

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"Not the year 2G / But the year do G"

① A reference to the Y2K era (Year 2000) often abbreviated as 2G in tech/millennial parlance.② A pivot to 'do G', implying an era defined by 'getting money' (G-money) or executing power moves.

"Definitely the Bitch-to-be"

① A play on her song title 'She's A Bitch', identifying herself as the artist behind the track.② A linguistic spin on 'bitch-to-be', positioning herself as the inevitable future authority in the industry.

Effective use of self-referential history to build brand equity

Strong, confident vocal delivery that commands the beat

Clever phonetic manipulation of '2G' vs 'do G'

Lack of complex internal rhyme density

Over-reliance on listing previous titles which serves as filler

The 'Morpheus' metaphor is surface-level and lacks sustained lyrical development
