Shake It Baby Lyrics

Yellow canary, tennis bracelet necklace, kno' I'm sayin'
Three quarter black mink, shades, canaries in both ears
Kno' I'm sayin' black phantom, triple black, with the oak wood
Gucci shoes, that's how I play

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

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

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 pigeons
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

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

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 s*x, 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

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

Like I said
Shake it, baby, shake it
Yellow canary tennis on the neck
Three quarter black mink
Shake it, baby, shake it
Gucci hat to the side, shades
Gucci shoes, baggy jeans
Shake it, baby, shake it
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
