Let Me Know
Monica ft. Missy Elliott Lyrics

To my motherfuckin' man 50 Grand, the alcoholic man
Addressing her partner who has a drinking problem and is known as '50 Grand'

Inject a tall can in his bloodstream if he can
Jokingly suggesting a way to get more alcohol in his system

Biggie Smalls, the pussy stroker
Referencing notorious rapper Biggie Smalls' sexual proclivities

MC provoker, chocolate Thai smoker (Hear?)
Describing her own music style: provocative with a preference for smoking chocolate Thai

I like to max in Maximas and Acuras
Expressing her love of luxury cars

Your girl butt-cheeks I'm smackin (Her)
Boastfully claiming to have sexual relationships with other people's partners

The raw rapper, spine snapper
Proudly describing herself as a provocative rapper with a reputation for turning heads

With the little hookers on my lap-ah
Admitting to having relationships with sex workers

You know the flavor Mack-ah
Claiming to have a distinctive style or persona like 'Mack'

A shy nigga but I ain't your fuckin' comforter
Acknowledging her own shyness but stating that she won't offer comfort or sympathy to others

And if I ever fall in love I bet I'm fuckin' her
Implying that she would cheat on her future partner if she fell in love with someone else

Ask the hooker, if I didn't jook her
Asking if a sex worker would testify that she had not taken advantage of them

If she tried to front, then I drop the Chucky Booker on her
Threatening violence against a sex worker who refuses to comply

Why you wanna, play your games on me
Asking why someone is acting manipulative or deceitful towards her

Bitch, you crazy?
Calling someone crazy for their actions

Commitments, I'm Swayze, no time for the ill shit
Declaring her commitment to her goals and career, alluding to the late actor Patrick Swayze's dedication to his work

Rest with the niggaw on that real bloodspill shit
Referring to real-life struggles and violence experienced by people of color

My rappin' tac-tics are drastic
Describing her unique and impactful approach to rapping

Stretchin' motherfuckers like Mr. Fantastic
Comparing herself to the comic book character Mr. Fantastic, who can stretch his body to incredible lengths

So if you wanna see my pedigreeeee
Inviting others to look closely at her background or track record

You better be, filled with energy, niggas never gettin' me
Warning that she is a strong and formidable performer who can't be easily defeated

So let me get down, let me get down, let me get down, let me get down
Preparing to launch into her own verse

Odds even, said shoot (blaow)
Referring to a gambling-related phrase and a gun sound effect

Asked me the reason, and I said loot
Saying that money is her motivation

Man that's all I'm here for, therefore
Summing up her life's purpose

When death declares war, you know what to prepare for
Advising listeners to be ready for tough times

Shit, one for shelter, book flights on Delta
Making plans to escape difficult situations quickly

Live on your station, the radiation'll melt ya
Suggesting that her music is so powerful it could cause harm

Cool, I guess your momma raised a fool
Calling someone foolish for not being prepared or cautious

You didn't wanna blaze your tool shoulda stayed in school
Suggesting that someone who is unprepared or cowardly should have focused on education instead

Rap terror, shots through your New Era
Intimidating others by suggesting she can destroy their careers and personal style

Get it together, y'all niggas shoulda knew better
Chiding others for not being wise or strategic in their actions

I'm on point like acupuncture
Boasting about her precision and accuracy

I might, track and hunt ya, smack and punch ya
Threatening violence against those who cross her

Left side, right side, witcha hoe I might slide
Suggesting she could have sex with someone's partner from either side of the bed

Runnin wit this big guy, y'all niggas is pint size
Suggesting that she is allied with someone powerful and that others can't measure up

Don't make a nigga have to show you the pound
Warning others not to push her or her associates too far

And show you the sound, that'll put you low in the ground
Threatening violence once again

Let me clear my throat
Preparing to sing or rap

Break the smoke, Missy gotta hit some high notes
Getting ready to show off her vocal skills

Hey! Yo from coast to coast I burn like toast
Boasting that her energy and impact are known all over the country

So dope that I floats through snow nigga
Imagining herself as an otherworldly, powerful figure

Oh, you don't wanna battle me
Warning others not to try to compete with her

The agony be like, "Somebody help me please!"
Suggesting that those who challenge her will regret it

Feel my pressure, never could a bitch flow better
Asserting that she is the best rapper around, and that others will never measure up

In any weather, I'm Biggie bangin' ya nigga
Repeating a reference to Biggie Smalls, and threatening to steal someone else's sexual partner

Ah-huh, I used to be the chick to lick the lollipop
Describing her previous persona as sexually provocative

Now I pop through your body parts
Threatening violence once again

Blaow, blaow, you like the way I interact
Boasting about her style and the way she presents herself

Proceed to smack, any MC that's wack
Promising to criticize and belittle subpar rappers

Ah-huh, microphone check one two
Introduction to her own verse

I do ya tool, like them freaks run through your crew
Boasting once again about her sexual prowess, and threatening to ruin a group of people's reputation

Give it to me, oh, send it to me, oh
Suggesting that she's ready to receive anything others have to dish out

But before I get down, where's my money?
Demanding payment before she continues with her performance
