Ll Cool J - Shake It Baby lyrics

rate me

[LL Cool J]

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
