Royce da 5'9" - Shake This lyrics

Being enlightened is no longer
Enough you must apply
Being willing is no longer
Acceptable you must do make it count

Na na nah! I gotta shake this
Na na nah!
I gotta, I gotta shake this jail shit off me
"He ain't gon' never sell, he
Gon' fail" shit off me, huh
I gotta shake this weak shit off me
And keep shit off me
And leave it in the streets like, "Bitch
Get off me!"

1977, July 5th
Conceived immaculately was me, my mom's gift
Unwrapped right there in the room
Like Christmas
My mind has been designed to do, like
Distance


Run whole laps around y'all with my thoughts
You ain't hold back on yours, nah
That's my fault now, picture me falling
All the way to the bottom
And I'm laying there, calling
"Somebody, come help me"
Find my strength to stop drinking this poison
'Fore I drown my gift, and yeah
It's prolly unhealthy
'Cause I went so hard, and woke up sober
I lost my good friend and broke up soldiers
Loco, going hard as a locomotive
Self-loathing, like I ain't chosen
Shows to bless souls get exposed
Just know that I ain't folding, huh

I gotta shake this, shake this na na nah
I gotta shake this, shake this na na nah
I gotta, I gotta shake this jail shit off me
"He ain't gon' never sell, he
Gon' fail" shit off me, huh
I gotta shake this weak shit off me
And keep shit off me
And leave it in the streets like, "Bitch
Get off me!"

September 18th, 2 oh oh-6 (Six)
I roll up in the court, thinking
"This should go quick"
On some couple-thousand dollar-suit-type shit
From behind thousand dollar Cartier 'scrips
I witnessed my world tumble down like bricks
Two words she slurred
And they sounded like this: "One year"
Traveled through the room like
Moonlight through the darkness
Ooh, it's heartless
How could I beat two felonies?
Then turn around and lose
Like lose like this?
My lawyer saying, "Stay calm" people saying
"Pray for him"
They locking my Black ass up, like Akon
My wife at the crib, going crazy
Pregnant, yelling
"I ain’t having no more babies!"
People saying Preem ain’t fucking
With me no more
Niggas in the pen, looking homo, no, no!

I gotta shake this, shake this na na nah
I gotta shake this, shake this na na nah
I gotta, I gotta shake this jail shit off me
"He ain't gon' never sell, he
Gon' fail" shit off me, huh
I gotta shake this weak shit off me
And keep shit off me
And leave it in the streets like, "Bitch
Get off me!"

Fresh out of jail
Feeling like Christopher Walken
The king of my city
Swinging my dick as I’m walking
Up to the seven-fifty, I open the door
My cuz and, like
Several bitches make up the décor
I look in, he got a cup, and he pours
I tell him, "Nah
I’m good" I would’ve chugged it before
I’m a new man, but I could fuck with a whore
Nigga, my dick so hard
It’s prolly touching the floor
Riding 'round in the back of
A black luxury toy
Getting sucked, like, "Niggas cannot
Fuck with me, boy"
When I look in the mirror
All I see is the real
Your nigga shouldn’t be here, RIP
If you will i’m the moment of truth
I’m the only significant thing
Roaming the scene soon as I go in the booth
I'ma do it this time
I'm feeling really defined
Unsigned to signed, nigga, the city is mine

I gotta shake this, shake this na na nah
I gotta, I gotta, shake this, shake this
Na na nah
I gotta, I gotta shake this jail shit off me
"He ain't gon' never sell, he
Gon' fail" shit off me, huh
I gotta shake this weak shit off me
And keep shit off me
And leave it in the streets like, "Bitch
Get off me!"

Bitch, get off me! Ge Get off me!
Get off me! Bitch, get off me!
Now, do that make me a liar? Get off me!
Get off me! Get off me!
