lyrically, the female protagonists challenge their male "suitors" to keep up instead of being full of empty promises; the women further feel that "he's not fulfilling you like he says". williams further explained the meaning of the song during an interview with mtv news, "we've had experiences with men doing a lot of talking but they can’t back it up. you said you could do this, but you can't, whether that's on the dance floor or wherever else. he said what he could do for you, but..." the lyrics are constructed in the chorus-verse pattern. the song opens with the lines "hit me" and the first verses sung by beyoncé follow: "i put it right there made it easy for you to get to / now you want to act like you don't know what to do". the chorus follows during which the group repeatedly sings the lines "can you keep up?". rowland's second verses follow where she sings the lines "put it on me deep in the right direction". the chorus is repeated twice before the bridge by williams. after the bridge, the group sings the lines "here's your papers, baby you are dismissed" letting their man know that he is not good enough for them. rowland sings a short ad lib, and then the trio ends with a repeated chorus. nick reynolds from bbc compared the song missy elliott's "pass that dutch" and to songs by the supremes. he further found a name check of public enemy's "bring the noise". eric henderson of slant magazine also compared "lose my breath with "pass that dutch".
