Missy Elliott quotes

Hip-hop is a freedom of expression

Not a freedom of depression

You want me to tell the truth, but when I do, it's too much for you.

When it gets down gritty, I can get grittier. Never, ever underestimate me.

It don't matter where you're from, it's where you're at

Is it worth it? Let me work it

I put my thing down, flip it and reverse it

Where you go, remember me

I'm the best thing in history

And stop talkin' 'bout who I'm stickin' and lickin'

Just mad it ain't yours

My imagination is so far out there already. People couldn't imagine what goes on in my brain.

I've learnt to be happy by myself.

Music should be your escape.

I felt like, 'How do I fit in?' But then I never fit in. The whole time, I've never fit in.

And it’s okay to say, ‘Hey, I’m not okay today.’

Be the truest form of yourself. If you go with what everybody else is doing you may risk falling into the crevices and the cracks, because there's so many people doing the same thing.

Because nobody knows your vision better than you do. Nobody can tell your story as you can. You have to live it.

I flow over a beat that make a chick weave blow

Live your life, you ain't even his wife

I'm under attack like my name was Saddam

I am the bomb from New York to Milan

And I can write a song sicker than Jeffrey Dahm'

My hormones jumping like a disco (Hey)

I be popping mess like some Crisco

Take away, your gold and platinum chains (Oh-oh, mhm)

'Cause I'm gon' love, love you anyway

Chumpy, I break up with him before he dump me

To have me, yes, you lucky (I can't stand the rain)

My style can't be duplicated or recycled

This chick is a sick individual

Ain't no shame, ladies do your thing (C'mon)

Just make sure you ahead of the game
