this is the chorus of missy elliott's new single 'Gossip Folks':

Musi ques
I sews on bews
I pues a twos on que zat
Pue zoo
My kizzer
Pous zigga ay zee
Its all kizza
Its always like
Its all kizza
Its always like
Na zound
Wa zee
Wa zoom zoom zee

Does anyone know what it means? i know the song is about gossip, but

Wasn't this a sample from that old song "Double Dutch Bus"?

I don't think Missy has ever worried about meanings to her lyrics, as long
as they rhyme and have got that funk :-) Best to listen to her with a closed
brain and a dancefloor handy!

maybe so, but "Musi ques, I sews on bews.." must mean something, no?

If you thought Snoop Dogg invented the idea of dropping Zs into the middle of words, you've got some catching up to do. The "Gossip Folks" chorus is sampled from Frankie Smith's single "Double Dutch Bus," a #1 R&B hit in 1981. Smith, formerly a songwriter with Gamble and Huff's Philadelphia International Records, combined a funk groove, a rap about a bus, and some neighborhood kids doing call-and response slang flavored with Pig Latin. The biggest chunk is, roughly, "Whoozoo?" / "My gizzurl!" / "Whalzinga izzat?" / "It's okizzay!" / "It's alrizzight!" / "It's okizzay!" / "It's alrizzight! Nizzow wizzee wizzill silzzee!" Or, un-Zified, "Who?" / "My girl!" / "Who's that?" / "It's okay!" / "It's alright!" / "It's okay!" / "It's alright! Now we will see!"

Its French. Big mike, the initial reply is correct. She's quoting MLKJ, but in French. She has an IQ of 162 so, I do t doubt she knows French.
