Melissa Arnette "Missy" Elliott (born July 1, 1971) is an American rapper, singer-songwriter, record producer, dancer and actress. A five-time Grammy Award winner, Elliott, with record sales of over seven million in the United States, is the only female rapper to have six albums certified platinum by the RIAA, including one double platinum for her 2002 album Under Construction. Elliott is known for a series of hits and diverse music videos, including "The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)", "Hot Boyz", "Get Ur Freak On", "One Minute Man", "4 My People", "Work It", "Pass That Dutch", and "Lose Control". In addition, she has worked extensively as a songwriter and producer for other artists, both alone and with her fellow producer and childhood friend Timbaland, with whom she received her first production credit on R&B singer Ginuwine's 1996's album Ginuwine...the Bachelor.
Elliott was born on July 1, 1971, in Portsmouth, Virginia. She is the only child of mother Patricia, a power-company coordinator, and father Ronnie, a Marine. At the age of four in 1975, she wanted to be a performer, though she knew no one took her seriously, as she was always the class clown. While her father was a Marine, the family lived in Jacksonville, North Carolina, in a mobile home. Elliott enjoyed school for the friendships she formed and had little interest in school work, though an IQ test classified her above average and she was able to jump two years ahead of her class. This made her feel increasingly isolated, so she purposely failed all her classes, eventually returning to her age-appropriate class. When her father returned from the Marines, they moved back to Virginia, where they lived in a vermin-infested shack.
(whispered 4x)
Drop, Drop, Drop In The ocean
Verse 1:
Can You Hear?
There's a whisper in the air
can you feel that a new heart is beating?
Each drop runs down to the end of the river, where the past and the future are one.
Verse 2:
Some may sail to the end of the world
But no matter how mighty their journey.
Every stranger they meet,
will tomorrow a brother
every life's another Drop in o-o-ocean.
Chorus:
I'm a drop in the ocean,
drop of emotion
i'm a drop in the ever changing tide
I can rise up as a rain
I can fall down like thunder,
all it takes is just drop in the o-o-ocean
(whispered 4x)
Drop drop drop in the ocean.
Verse 3:
Some of died for a wish to be free,
some at war some for no crime or reason,
Every tear falling down helps the world tell it's story,
Every life's another drop in the o-o-ocean
Chorus:
I'm a drop in the ocean, drop of emotion
I'm a part of the ever changing tide
I can rise up as a rain,
I ca fall down like thunder,
All it takes is just a drop a in the o-o-ocean.
(whispered 4x)
Drop Drop Drop in the ocean
Chorus:
Drop In The Ocean, Drop of emotion
I'm a drop in the ocean of dreams,
I can touch every shore, join together every nation, All it takes is just a drop in the o-o-ocean.
(fading in background)
Drop Drop Drop In the Ocean 4x
(Sing)
The Ocean.... 4x
