This is definitely the weirdest thing I have every seen. I saw it once a few years ago on MTV with my best friend and we were actually a little scared afterwards. My first reaction is what ugly faces they’re making and how I hope to never encounter these people on the street cause I would run like Forrest Gump. Then I stop looking at the video and just listen and I think that they’re commenting on exactly what I’m feeling. Just because I think someone looks or acts a little weird doesn’t mean that they’re bad or scary and people need to embrace the fact that weird is relative to every person. There isn’t a way to define it because there isn’t a way to define normal . Then i look back and get distracted .I think its be cool to have a pet rat they’re cute as hell. Other than the visual i like the beat a lot. If you took the lyrics out it would be just another normal dance song at a club. Now I’m just kind of thinking about other cute animals and getting very off subject. Dogs, munchkin cats, lions, monkeys, horses, tea-cup pigs, hamsters; I cant think of any more. I am really tired today. SO TIRED. I cant find anything else to say. That’s a first for me. WOW. Now I’m completely off subject.

Missy Elliot WTF

I think she’s talking about how the youth today are trying to do provocative too young. My thirteen year old sister is posting stuff like ‘Call me daddy” and pictures in her bra on instagram and sexting because that’s what other girls her age are doing and she feels so dependent on getting a boyfriend and cant go anywhere by herself and is so confused about who she is. She puts off this persona that shes twenty some years old and at home around her family when shes being herself she just acts completely different, and Missy is talking about how this younger generation is starting to do things like this because some people expect it and others just don’t stop them and tell them that that’s not okay, I think that parents are starting to have too lenient a view on things seen somewhat acceptable even though they were raised when they weren’t and they are teaching it to their children who will teach their kids. You see kids as young as 9 having sex now and no one is telling them that its not appropriate. The youth today are treating it as a legitimate thing and older people don’t care enough to correct them. It’s devastating to see girls and boys so young and haven’t even developed doing things that shouldn’t be done.

She keeps it real. I can relate to being this mad at someone just freeloading off of me and never caring about me or thinking about me. In one part of the song she said he never bought her anything. There are two types of freeloaders and one is that you don’t work and don’t have any money because youre lazy and don’t want to and the other is when you have money but don’t want to spend it on anyone but yourself. It’s about people being selfish and never taking other people into consideration and using you because they can, even when they don’t need to, my mother in law is just like that. When her father died a year ago she came into a lot of money and yet she can’t buy her own son anything.  And when she does give money to someone she is a bitch about them paying her back. She and her mother have gotten in so many fights about that kind of thing and it completely pisses me off cause it’s not only selfish but ignorant. That woman raised you and paid for every single thing that you had and now that you have the means to do the same for her you fight to do it as long as you can then bitch about it and fight about her paying you back. If everyone was like that this world would be unlivable. Especially for family, you shouldn’t worry about money if someone you care about needs something and you have the means to get it for them, or even if you don’t, you should and you shouldn’t complain about having to do it.  When it comes down to it you really only have yourself but the next best thing is your family and sometimes they aren’t there but family is supposed to be the one thing that is and to take that for granted and treat it like shit is just horrible. If you can do for others why wouldn’t you?
