Let Me Fix My Weave
Missy Elliott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need to know is V-A up in this bitch
New York St. Louis Chicago Philly LA Atlanta
I'm diggin' that
But how about the ladies that got a head full of fake weave or braids
Holla at ya peoples
Oh see'mon
Touch me up and let me fix my weave
You could pick me up about a quarter to three
Before I walk in the club
I gotta fix my weave
(Oh) Baby fix my weave
Baby baby let me fix my weave
On the highway I do above ninety
(Woo-woo) pull me over get the fake ID
I met a guy named Tommy
Very charming
He was on me like cheese be on macaroni
His game real tight making me so horny
Fine enough for us to fuck and be his baby mommy
You really don't know me
So I moves it slowly
Brush up and let him hold me
Let me spit some baloney
Baby you could call me
If you go down on me
But you got to back up off me
Wearing cubic zirconium
I told him baby let me fix my weave
I got a hair out of place and use a fake ID
Pepe LePew voulez vous ooh oui
You want to misdemeanor me
You gotta spend more G's (ohhwee)
Ooh baby let me fix my weave
Touch me up and let me fix my weave
You could pick me up about a quarter to three
Before I walk in the club
I gotta fix my weave
(Oohwee) Baby fix my weave
Baby baby let me fix my weave
On the highway I do above ninety
(Woo-woo) pull me over get the fake ID
I used to date a guy named Chris
Sloppy with his kiss
But he was good with his tongue
I called him Mr. Young One
Mr. Young One had a big ding-dong
Balls the size of ping-pong
I had him souped like won-ton
I put the beat on
And on my ass he skeet on
I put the heat on young gun
Fresh meat he season
Yes yes we used to creep down the beach
He was insane like Rick James
And with a mask he's Superfreak
I told him gimme cash to fix my weave
And I don't want no excuses 'bout your baby mommy
Cause your child support money don't fix my weave
And you know nigga please me no fuck for free
Ooh baby let me fix my weave
Touch me up and let me fix my weave
You could pick me up about a quarter to three
Before I walk in the club
I gotta fix my weave
(Oh) Baby fix my weave
Baby baby let me fix my weave
On the highway I do above ninety
(Woo-woo) pull me over get the fake ID
I got a call from Joe
He used to call me J.Lo
Hey-lo how you doing
Used to ask who I was screwing
Joe was pursuing
Sex was good all ooh-in
Moan he was grown
He would fuck me 'til the mo'nin'
I used to get vex when he would sex another bitch
Said Baby don't trip just like Ben I'm rich
Jen don't bitch then Miss don't bitch
Lopez get rich call me Miss Affleck
I tell him baby I need a new weave
Because my tracks feel whack
I want to hit the party
You want to play like Ben then give me your keys
Cause even Jen drive a Benz to go fix a weave
Ooh baby let me fix my weave
Touch me up and let me fix my weave
You could pick me up about a quarter to three
Before I walk in the club
I gotta fix my weave
(Oh) Baby fix my weave
Baby baby let me fix my weave
On the highway I do above ninety
(Woo-woo) pull me over get the fake ID
To the heavy weave cities
Miami Jersey D.C. the Carolinas Detroit Louisville Ohio to all the projects
To the beauty salons
And curling irons stitching in that (?) hair
Okay oohwee yeah fix your weave
Straight up like a perm you heard
Missy Elliott's song Let Me Fix My Weave is a playful commentary on the lengths some women will go to fix their fake hair before going out to party. The song opens with an introduction calling out various cities and regions but specifically shouting out the ladies with braids and fake hair, before launching into the chorus. The chorus itself is quite catchy with Elliott singing about needing to fix her weave before she steps out. The verse starts with her recounting a story about a man who was trying to woo her and make her his "baby mommy", but she takes things slowly and makes him fix her weave before she considers taking things further. She then moves onto another story about a man who she calls Mr. Young One - who was great in bed but not so much with kissing. Elliott mentions that he had to provide cash to help her fix her weave and takes the opportunity to name-check Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez.
