Missy Elliott is back on the music scene, but fans are still obsessing over her classic work!
After all, it’s almost impossible not to sing along when her 2002 hit Work It comes on! But somehow it’s taken until now for listeners to figure out what exactly the 45-year-old is saying when she sings those jumbled up lyrics in the chorus.
Seriously.

So when Missy is singing:
“I put my thing down, flip it and reverse it/Ti esrever dna ti pilf nwod gniht ym tup I”
She literally flipped it and reversed it!!
No wonder Twitter‘s mind is blown:
@MissyElliott real deal flipped it and reversed it…├░┼╕╦£┬│├░┼╕╦£┬│├░┼╕╦£┬│├░┼╕╦£┬│├░┼╕╦£┬│├░┼╕╦£┬▒├░┼╕╦£┬▒ pic.twitter.com/Idcm59mXrO

We already knew what Missy said in “Work It”. I want to know what she said in Beyonc├â┬¿’s “Signs”. Care to weigh in, @MissyElliott ??
