Yellow canary, tennis bracelet necklace, knahmsayin?
|
Three quarter black mink; shades, canaries in both ears
|
Knahmsayin? Black Phantom, triple black, with the oak wood
|
Gucci shoes, that's how I play
|
|
[Verse One]
|
Hold up, I don't gamble, I don't play no craps
|
I was taught early on don't jeapordize the stacks
|
Before I open my mouth, I get all the facts
|
I could never fall off, it's too many hot tracks
|
I'm affiliated with too many hot cats
|
to end up, crawlin out of a hole in Iraq
|
Try to topple my regime
|
You end up in need of a scalpel to your spleen
|
Is there a medic on the scene?
|
Easy children, Queens is in the buildin
|
That blank look on your grill'll get filled in
|
Slow down baby, you actin like a clown homes
|
You get your fronts remodeled like a brownstone
|
You hear my heat rock comin through your sheetrock
|
It means you're OD'n homeboy, here come the detox
|
I get my swagger on, proud as a peacock
|
Bars is hot, beats is pumpin like a ? box
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Shake it baby shake it
|
If you a real O.G. put your hands in the air with me, c'mon
|
Shake it baby shake it
|
Young ladies in the spot, if you came up in the place to rock, c'mon
|
Shake it baby shake it
|
Divided we fall, stay together and forever we ball, c'mon
|
Shake it baby shake it
|
You do it for the gangsters
|
I do it for the ladies, but it's all money baby
|
|
[Verse Two]
|
They pay me so much it's hard for them to swallow
|
When you got 'em by the balls, their hearts and minds follow
|
Pay yourself first, that's one of my main mottos
|
Picture Bill Gates on the block dodgin hollows
|
I can't see it player that's beneath my vision
|
I'm beyond focused, every decision is made with precision
|
It seems like greed's the world religion
|
But L want cake, save the crumbs for the pidgeons
|
Black man, get the flies outcha eyes
|
You can't cause where you born but you affect where you die
|
Until that day, health and welfare, cheers
|
And after my wake, the hood'll talk, man listen here
|
He kept a mink and canaries in his ears
|
Like the Enterprise rollin over stars for years
|
Spit bars for years, kept hot cars for years
|
The dice was loaded but he beat the odds for years, uh-huh!
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Verse Three]
|
To be or not to be the man, that's the question
|
Got a vision in my mind, I can see that I'm destined
|
To lean up in the backseat, givin directions
|
Sweep the block clean as November elections
|
On the Blackberry readin cash flow quadrant
|
Brim to the side, my gorillas is bonded
|
CLS Vision, four Hummers behind it
|
You forgot I'm from Queens? You can get reminded
|
I'm a man's man, when you chumps gon' learn
|
If you play with fire you get poured in a urn
|
You must have been puffin on blunts of sherm
|
All my albums is platinum, it's been confirmed
|
I'm more than a symbol of sex, I get respect
|
For livin in the hills but still keepin it mad real
|
Stay on course, the boss crush obstacles
|
You burnin me, two words: im-possible
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[LL Cool J]
|
Like I said
|
Yellow canary tennis on the neck
|
Three quarter black mink
|
Gucci hat to the side, shades
|
Gucci shoes, baggy jeans
|
Black Phantom, oak wood
|
That's how I play
|
Yeah
|
(Shake it baby shake it)
|
You do it for the gangsters
|
I do it for the ladies, but it's all money baby
|

Shake It Baby
