[Missy Rap]
Uhh 1 2 hit me
Dag nigga let me breathe
Why you keep on asking me
Where I go and why I leave
Can I kick it can I relax
Can I kick it I be back
Can I kick it what's up with that
I know you mad and that's a fact
[Nicole Verse One]
My man he got an attitude cause
He think I been messing round but
All I do is just sit at home, and
Wait until he return my call, and
Why is it that he don't trust me
Is it that he's the one messing up, see
I should be the one who's questioning
Why my man is always asking
[Chorus (sung by Missy and Nicole)]
Where I been
Where I go
Who I'm with
Am I out , messing up
When will I, be back
Am I out, in the streets, doing stuff
(repeat x2)
[Nicole - Verse Two]
My man, he been acting crazy
He thinks I been changing lately
He thinks I been out here spotting
And if he ask me, Ill tell him where I been
I been home just waiting, waiting
He been out just playing, playing
My man, he don't want me to go nowhere
Then if I go, he needs to know
[Repeat CHORUS]

Broken out, your copper whip, that got too many miles
