Thug Misses is the debut album by American rapper Khia. The album was released on April 23, 2002 in the United States on Divine Records. The album spawned the hit single "My Neck, My Back (Lick It)", peaking at #33 on the US Billboard 200 and certified Gold by the RIAA in September 2002. To date it is estimated to have sold over 800,000 copies in the US.[4]

"My Neck, My Back (Lick It)" was released on May 2, 2002. The single was a hit on the hip hop scene, eventually being certified gold (600,000 units). It achieved moderate crossover CHR success, ultimately peaking at number forty-two on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number twenty on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. Due to the explicit sexuality of the song's lyrics, it was heavily edited and censored for radio and video play. The video became a top six hit on BET's 106 & Park. Khia released her album later that year, which also gained gold status. While she has released several singles since then, "My Neck, My Back (Lick It)" is, to date, her biggest and most recognizable hit, which has made many people consider her a one-hit wonder.
"You My Girl", a song dedicated to her mother, was a promotional single taken from the album, released as an airplay-only single. However, it never made the charts. It would be the last song to be released commercially from the album.
"The K-Wang" was released as the third promotional single.

The mistakes that I made in my life me strong
Made me right never wrong keeps me writing my songs
Cause I know you my girl cause of you here comes me
Out your wound duplicate just like you makes me sick
Just in time you my girl you my angel my world
Shining down at my life got my back don't think twice
When in need of your help if i'm wrong got your belt
But only you Uesirah had respect for your job
And your heart and your soul and your house and your goal
To your friends and your kins even sick didn't quit
