CIARA & ELLIOTT Missy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ladies and gentlemen (Ladies and gentlemen)
This is a Jazze Phizal (Jazze Phizal) productshizzle,
Missy (Missy) the princess is here (She's here) Ciara,

This beat is Automatic supersonic hypnotic funky fresh,
Work my body so melodic,
This beat flows right through my chest,
Everybody ma and pappi came to party,
Grab somebody, work your body, work your body,
Let me see you 1, 2 step

Rock it, don't stop it,
Everybody get on the floor,
Wake the party up, we about to get it on,
(Let me see y'all) 1, 2 step,
(I love it when y'all) 1, 2 step
(Everybody) 1, 2 step
We about to get it on

This beat is outrageous so contagious make you crave it (Jazze made it),
So retarded, top charted,
Ever since the day I started,
Strut my stuff,
And yes I flaunt it,
Goodies make the boys jump on it (Jump on it),
No I can't control myself,
Now let me do my 1, 2 step

Rock it, don't stop it,
Everybody get on the floor,
Wake the party up, we about to get it on,
(Let me see y'all) 1, 2 step,
(I love it when y'all) 1, 2 step
(Everybody) 1, 2 step
We about to get it on

(We going to step it like this. Ooh wee)

It don't matter to me,
We can dance slow (Ladies and gentlemen),
Whichever way the beats drop,
Our bodies will go (I like this ah),
So swing it over here,
Mr. DJ (Hey, hey),
And we will, we will rock you up
It don't matter to me,
We can dance slow (Dance slow yeah),
Whichever way the beats drop,
Our bodies will go,
So swing it over here,
Mr. DJ (Ladies and gentlemen),
And we will, we will rock you, lets shake

I shake it like jello,
And make the boys say hello,
Cause they know I'm rockin' the beat (Rocking the beat),
I know you heard about a lot of great MC's,
But they ain't got nothing on me (nothing on me),
Because I'm five foot two,
I wanna dance with you,
And I'm sophisticated fun,
I eat fillet Mignon,
And I'm nice and young,
Best believe I'm number one (Whoa)

Rock it, don't stop it,
Everybody get on the floor,
Wake the party up, we about to get it on,
(Let me see y'all) 1, 2 step,
(I love it when y'all) 1, 2 step
(Everybody) 1, 2 step
We about to get it on

Rock it, don't stop it,
Everybody get on the floor,
Wake the party up, we about to get it on,
(Let me see y'all) 1, 2 step,
(I love it when y'all) 1, 2 step
(Everybody) 1, 2 step
We about to get it on

This is for the hearing impaired,
A Jazze Pha production (ooh wee) (ooh wee)

Overall Meaning

In Ciara and Missy Elliott’s song “1, 2 Step,” the lyrics talk about the musical qualities of the track itself, encouraging listeners to move their bodies to the “supersonic hypnotic funky fresh” beat. The chorus explains that it doesn’t matter how fast or slow the music is, “our bodies will go” to the rhythm, indicating that the enjoyment of music is not necessarily about following a set pattern or trend, but rather about feeling the music within oneself. The lyrics also talk about the artists themselves, with Missy Elliott boasting about her success as an artist and Ciara highlighting her own unique qualities, like her height and love for fine food.


The lyrics capture the free-spirited nature of dancing and the embodiment of the beat through music. The “1, 2 Step” is not just a specific dance move but a call to action and movement through the music. Ciara recognizes herself as a skilled dancer and invites others to join her in the immersive experience of the beat.
