Missy Elliott feat. Timbaland Lyrics
"9th Inning"

(Intro - Timbaland)
Yeah, yeah, check this.

(1st Verse - Missy Elliot)
Now I'm in the 9th inning,
Thought I fell off ain't quite finished.
Yeah I'm 'bout to put my foot in it,
Talk with it, walk with it, I'm no gimmick.
2012 there'll be no games.
Real rap, real pause, I'm not playing.
Haters you all lame, you ain't miss a thing.
I'm a beast in the booth, I'm just saying.
I make 'em wanna get low.
Duck with it, buck with it, let's go.
Every time I spit a rhyme it's a sick flow.
You newcomers better sit back and take note.
This here my time. Here I come, better run take what's mine.
About to let off like a tech nine.
This rhyme gon' make 'em push rewind.
Yeah I'm so hot.
Up on the charts, number one spot.
See me when I drop and I won't flop.
Missy never stop got the music game on lock.
When I get served,
You third, you second but I come first.
Flip my verse like I flip birds.
I'm fine, Yes Sir.

(Chorus)
We hitmakin', hitbreakin', party shakin', innovating.
Groundbreakin', sole creatin'. We be the most anticipated.
Hitmakin', hitbreakin', party shakin', innovating.
Groundbreakin', sole creatin'. We be the most anticipated.

(2nd Verse - Timbaland)
Now I'm in the 9th inning.
N***** think I fail when I'm still winnin'.
So I've been gone for a hot minute.
I love this shit, that's why I gotta gift in it.
F*** n***** get fly,
n**** can't talk with a gun in his mouth.
N****s b**** up and they run in their house.
I can smell bulls*** when they walk by.
Heard that old saying yo,
"Never ever cross a one day, give ya most".
Never ever act funny for the white folk.
I'm a big fish remember you a tadpole.
I like Lady Gaga. Why you let a n**** do your whole album?
Where you think that fake producer got ya style from?!
Come f*** with a n****, watch the outcome.
Ain't no real artists.
Wack talent get in, real starvin'.
All you hear in music is a chorus.
Well that's okay Timmy back in the story.

(Chorus)

(During Chorus - Missy Elliot)
Y'all can't be serious.
We break records, I done told y'all.
How many of y'all got a catalogue this long?
Don't worry, I'll wait!

(3rd Verse - Missy Elliot)
Down to the 9th inning.
I'm the real deal, y'all pretendin'.
Years later my songs still spinnin'.
I do record deals no less than ten milli.
My hits be yay long.
My songs go on like a marathon.
Get ghost, get gone, you a dum-dum,
Better round here, come on biters like a python.
When I act fly,
When I act like you better than a M-I.
Shakin' em, bakin' em all like a bean pie.
Takin' em, burnin' em down like I'm left Left Eye.
Futuristic.
Y'all can pack it up, I done ripped it.
When you say my name call me Miss Bitch.
I make the next chick run to the exit.
Yeah I got a Sixth Sense.
I'm makin' this a movie like a Netflix.
I'm on the guest list, on the check list.
I'm the flyest chick, now tell me who the best is?!
Elliot be the name.
Elliot back in the game.
Elliot hit 'em with a BANG!
Bring the hook back in Timbaland.

(Chorus)

(Missy Elliot during chorus)
Did y'all forget?! I think they forgot!
They think we done.
All we do is make hits?!

(Outro - Missy Elliot)
And if you want a hit? Maybe we'll return your call.
Don't call collect.
(Operator Voice)
You have a collect call from... (Dial Tone)
