"Alicia Keys posted on Instagram, one day; that she was looking for a title to this song, she was working on. Then, she basically laid out, what the lyrics were about. Then, asked for title suggestions. I, immediately, thought of “Tit 4 Tat.” So, I responded.
But, almost as soon as I did, I started to wonder what I had to say about that subject. So, this is what I found out…"
Lyrics
Say Tit 4 Tat is where it’s at
Long, long time ago
Once you need a piece of me
Get back to the flow
Down around those arctic bends
Keep you up all night
Toss me up into the air
Go down without a fight
What are we doing?
What are we doing?
I want cha with nowhere to go!
Tit 4 Tat is where it’s at
Long, long time ago
Once you need a piece of me
Get back to the flow
Down around those arctic bends
Keep you up all night
Toss me up into the air
Go down without a fight
Hit me, one time. I’m gonna hit you
You wanna kiss me? I’ll kiss on you, boo
Get the same stuff, that you give me, back too.
That's how I love myself. Roll with me …crew.
Tit 4 Tat is where it’s at
Long, long time ago
Once you need a piece of me
Get back to the flow
Down around those arctic bends
Keep you up all night
Toss me up into the air
Go down without a fight
Go down without a fight
Go down witho-o-ut a fight
