Yeah, what's the deal ya'll, it's Missy Elliott. Givin' ya magazine writers, radiocast listeners or plain ol haters a small piece of my album which is titled Under Construction. Under Construction simply states that I'm a work in progress. I'm workin on myself, you know, ever since Aaliyah passed I view life in a more valuable way. Lookin at hate and anger and gossip or just plain ol bullshit became ignorant to me. When you realize in a blink of an eye you walkin out a church and isle that was meant for weddings and happiness were realizing those same church isles are used to view a loved one for the last time, from the world trade families to the left-eye family, big-pun family, you know, biggie family, pop family, to the hip-hop family, we all under construction tryin' to rebuild you know, ourselves. Hip-hop can gain respect from, you know, not even respect from but just like rock and roll and it took us a lot of hard work to get here so all that hate and animosity between folks you need to kill it with a skillet. You don't see Bill Gates and Donald Trump arguing with each other. Cause both of them got paper and they got better shit to do, get mo' paper. So all I'm sayin' is let's take hip-hop back to the rule, follow me. Let the show begin This is a Missy Elliott exclusive Set it off Mama say, Mama san, Mama can you do dis.

I reminisce On the last Christmas I spent with my mom and my dad I'm still trippin' Wishin' that I could go back To know what I'm missin' It's a mystery, oh, how'd I forget I'm not a magician I try fixin' shit that I can't Memories made me sick I hope the past is the hardest that it gets Momma say she drinkin' to forget I told my momma "Save your son a sip" Tryna slow my breath and get a grip I think life is harder than in death They're in Heaven, I'm the one that's left (They left) I did things that I know are wrong but Time just keeps movin' on and No matter which way I run I can't go back to the way it was, now Broke bones and I shed some blood, and Time took a few friends I love, and No matter which way I run I can't go back to the way it was, now And I can't go back to the way it was And I can't go back to the way it was, now (Hold this moment while you can Tell your people that you care Do enough while you still can) I can't go back to the way it was, now (Can't go back to the-) I said, I can't go back to the way it was, now, woah (No, no) I can't go back to the way it was, now
