9th Inning Lyrics & Chords By Missy Elliott

Yeah, yeah, check

Now I'm in the 9th inning
Thought I fell off, ain't quite finished
Yeah, I'm about to put my foot in it
Talk with it, and walk with it
I'm no gimmick

2012 there'll be no games
Real rap, real pause, I'm not playing
Haters y'all lame, you won't miss a thing
I'm a beast in a booth, I'm just sayin'

I make 'em wanna get low
Duck with it, buck with it, let's go
Every time I spin a rhyme, it's a sick flow
You newcomers better sit back and take note

This here my time
Here I come, better run take what's mine
Bite the dead off like a take 9
This line don't make 'em push rewind

Yeah I'm so hot, up on the charts, number one spot
You see me when I drop, and I won't flop
Missy never stop, got the music game on lock

Wanna get served?
You third, you second, but I come first
Flip my verse like I flip birds
I'm fine, yes sir

We hit making, hit breaking, party shaking, innovative
Ground breaking, so creative
We be the most anticipated

We hit making, hit breaking, party shaking, innovative
Ground breaking, so creative
We be the most anticipated

Now I'm in the 9th inning
Niggas think I've failed when I'm still in it
So I've been gone for a hot minute
I love this shit, that's why I've got a gift in it

Fuck nigga get fly
Nigga can't talk with a gun in the mouth
Nigga's bitch up, let it run in the house
I can smell bullshit when it walk by

Heard the old saying, yo
Never ever cross the one that gave you the most
Never ever act funny for the white folks
I'm a big fisherman, you a tadpole

I like Lady Gaga
Won't you let a nigga do your whole album?
Where you think the producer got his style from?
Come fuck with a nigga, watch the outcome

Ain't no real artists
Wack talent get in, real starving
All you hear in the music is a chorus
Well that's okay, take me back in the story

We hit making, hit breaking, party shaking, innovative
Ground breaking, so creative
We be the most anticipated

We hit making, hit breaking, party shaking, innovative
Ground breaking, so creative
We be the most anticipated

Down to the 9th inning
I'm the real deal, you all pretending
Years later, my songs still spinnin'
I do record deals, no less than 10 million

My hits be year long
My songs go on like a marathon
Get ghost, get gone, you a dum-dum
Better run here, come and bite this like a python

Wanna act fly?
Wanna act like you better than an MI?
Shaking and baking, I'm on like a bean pie
Takin' em and burning them down like I'm Left Eye

Futuristic
Y'all can pack it up, I done ripped it
When you say my name, call me Miss Bitch
I made the next chick run to the exit

Yeah, I got a sixth sense
I'll make it into a movie like a Netflix
I'm on the guest list, on the check list
I'm the flyest chick, now tell me who the best is

Elliott be the name
Elliott back in the game
Elliot hit it with a bang
Bring the hook back in to my lane

We hit making, hit breaking, party shaking, innovative
Ground breaking, so creative
We be the most anticipated

We hit making, hit breaking, party shaking, innovative
Ground breaking, so creative
We be the most anticipated

And if you want a hit, maybe we'll return your call
Don't call collect
