[Missy (Aaliyah)]
Uh uh (yea yea)
Uh uh (yea yea)
Ninety nine uh uh (yea yea) what you got boo)

I was in love wit' you (yea)
And you couldn't do no wrong in my eyes
When I found out the scoop on you (yea)
It was still too hard for me to realize
That I needed to be through' wit you (yea)
Cause you're the reason I can't eat or sleep (yea)
All the girls you runnin' through (yea)
Used to be best friends, down wit' me

[Chorus:]
When I'm gone, you're alone
You stickin' them chickens ?til I get home
When I'm home, you're wit' me
Kissin' on my ass, tryna be wit' me
Well it's done, this I know
Seen it for myself, I'ma let you know
You don't play, games wit' me
But before I go, betta leave my dough

I'ma fool for you (yea)
But you seem to think my love's a joke (it ain't a joke boo)
I get no love from you (yea)
Like all these times I did before
I think I'll pass on you (yea)
Because of the way you been actin' lately
I get no cash from you (yea)
If you want me to stay, you must be cra-crazy

[Chorus:]

Dedication
It was just a bad relation (yes it was, yes it was)
When I think it cuts my insides
The tears, they fall deep down from my eyes
(repeat)

Doo doo doo, doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo (wha say what, uh uh uh)
Doo doo doo, doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo (Da Brat)

I want it al' from the motherfuckin' house, down to the dogs
You trickin' off with these chickens, I thought you ain't have no flaws
Keep yo dick in they jaws, Peter shoulda stayed in his draws
Now I'm out the door and you can't claim me no more
The loss is yours
How you gonna slumber wit' a bitch I'm supposed to be cool wit'
Went to grade school wit', couldn't pay me to believe you hit it
To think I footed all the bills and now you breakin'?
Stop accusin' me of that dumb shit I don't even participate in
You wasted my valuable time there's money to make
Scared to set foot in another relationship 'cause of the heartache
Heartbreak Hotel no not Faith, Kelly, and Whitney, no it's Brat, Aaliyah and
Missy You miss me 'cause we finished
I'll just keep the keys to the twenty inch rim ride with the TVs in it
You don't need it, beat it, it's mine
Kiss my ass like your heart was in it (stupid ass)
Keep stickin' them chickens
Send Peter straight to the clinic nigga

See I'ma give you your props tho
You like a bad ass motherfucker
Runnin' two bitches at one time
When I'm flyin' out, she flyin' in
Sayin' the same shit, spittin' the same game
Who the fuck you think I am
Willy Limpdick or somebody, forget you man




That's why us bitches gonna stick together
Bitch

Overall Meaning

The song "Stickin' Chickens" is a collaboration between Missy Elliott and Aaliyah. The lyrics revolve around cheating in a relationship and the pain it causes. The opening verse expresses a blind love for the partner, and it takes a while to realize what kind of person they truly are. The singer feels betrayed and hurt by the fact that her partner has been involved with her friends.


The chorus explains that the singer is well aware of the cheating and has come to a decision. When she's away, her partner is busy with other women, which implies that he is involved in prostitution. The singer asks for her money back before leaving the relationship.


In the second verse, the singer realizes that she has been foolish for sticking around and putting up with so much disrespect. She decides to end the relationship, and the focus shifts to the aftermath of the break-up. The relationship was toxic, and the singer experienced a lot of pain.


The final verse is a rap by Da Brat, who is angry at her cheating partner. She demands that her partner return everything she paid for, including the car he had been driving. The rap concludes that women need to stick together and stop putting up with cheating, disrespectful men.
