Gonna mix blend rip up the track

Where people of the town are so quick to speech ya, greet ya, teach ya

And you should know hold it down for the south everyehere we go
Gonna wreck the U.K. 'coz that's my home
Sometimes my peeps they be tripping and that's okay

Never care'bout the money, never asked for the fame
Su-Elise one out of the three
As long as there's a group that you call Mis-Teeq
You'll regret the day you ever doubted me
Quiet, but deadly, if you really want to know ask me
Never rude, maybe a little feisty
I thought you knew bad gals move in silencce

So throw ya hands in the air everybody

Oh my gosh got love for the ones who hold it down for me
Oh my gosh got love for my sisters and the real MCs

Now let me take ya back to the old skool beat

And the way I spit can't nobody do it better so
