I don't want no minute man
Ooh, here's your chance be a man take my hand understand
I don't want no minute man
Uh, uh, ooh, uh, uh, uh, uh ooh, uh
Boy I'ma make you love me, make you want me
Now follow my intuitions, what you're wishin'
See I'ma keep you up all night (all night), for a long time
So start countin' away
Break me off, show me what you got
'Cause I don't want, no one minute man (ooh)
Break me off, show me what you got
'Cause I don't want, no one minute man (uh)
Break me off, show me what you got
'Cause I don't want, no one minute man (ooh)
Break me off, show me what you got
'Cause I don't want, no
Tonight I'ma give it to you, throw it to you
I want you to come prepared, oh yeah (oh yes) (ooh)
Boy, it's been a long time, a crazy long time
And I don't want no minute man, and that's real
Give it to me some more
Break me off, show me what you got
'Cause I don't want, no one minute man (ooh)
Break me off, show me what you got
'Cause I don't want, no one minute man
Break me off, show me what you got
'Cause I don't want, no one minute man (ooh)
Break me off, show me what you got
'Cause I don't (yeah) want, no (uh uh)
It's time to set your clock back 'bout as long as you can
I stop daylight, it's Ludacris the maintenance man
Get your oil changed, I check fluids and transmission
You one minute fools, you wonder why y'all missin'
On the back of milk cartons and there's no reward
No regards, close but it's no cigar
A hard head make a soft ass, but a hard dick make the sex last
I jump in pools and make a big splash
Water overflowin', so get your head right
It's all in your mind punk so keep your head tight
Enough with tips and advice and thangs
I'm big dog, havin' women seein stripes and thangs
They go to sleep, start snorin', countin' sheep and shit
They so wet, that they body start to leak and shit
Just 'cause I'm an all-nighter, shoot all fire
Ludacris, balance and rotate all tires
Ooh, I don't want, I don't need, I can't stand no minute man
I don't want no minute man
Ooh, here's your chance be a man take my hand understand
I don't want no minute man
Break me off, show me what you got
'Cause I don't want, no one minute man
Break me off, show me what you got
'Cause I don't want, no one minute man
Break me off, show me what you got
'Cause I don't want, no one minute man
Break me off, break-break me off
Break-break me off, show me what you got
Break me off, show me what you got
Break me off, show me what you got
Break me off, show me what you got
Break me off, break-break me off
In "One Minute Man," Missy Elliott, Lil' Kim, and Mocha express their disdain for men who struggle to last long in intimate situations. Essentially, they want men who can keep up with their sexual energy and keep them satisfied for extended periods of time. The women let their intentions be known from the beginning, with lines like "I can't stand no minute man" and "here's your chance be a man take my hand understand, I don't want no minute man." Throughout the song, the women encourage their partner to give them more and break them off, essentially demanding that he satisfy them on their terms.
The song is about female empowerment and sexual liberation. The women are taking charge of their own pleasure and demanding that their partners keep up with them. They are not passive receivers of sexual pleasure, but active participants who know what they want and are not afraid to ask for it. The song challenges traditional gender roles and expectations in relationships by rejecting the idea that women should be passive and submissive in the bedroom.
Overall, "One Minute Man" is a fun and empowering song that celebrates female sexuality and encourages women to embrace their desires and take control of their own pleasure.
