[Verse 2: Missy Elliott]
You say you're a baller✦
'Cause you up in the club, fakin'✦ like you got dough
With your dollars
To my people, spend they money,✦ let me hear you holler✦
We're gon' party✦ like no other✦ party,✦ don't stop 'til the morning
But before✦ I go, this is what I say
[Chorus: Missy Elliott]
"Mr. D.J., spin it one more time
We gonna✦ play it back to back, we gon' rock it two times✦
Move your feet with me, move your hands with me
See how easy✦ it's gon' be for you and me, you see
Mr. D.J., spin it one more time
We gonna✦ play it back to back, we gon' rock it two times✦
Move your feet with me, move your hands with me
See how easy✦ it's gon' be for you..."
