Yellow canarytennis bracelet necklaceknahmsayin?
Three quarter black mink; shadescanaries in both ears
Knahmsayin? Black Phantomtriple blackwith the oak wood
Gucci shoesthat s how I play
[Verse One]
Hold upI don t gambleI don t play no craps
I was taught early on don t jeapordize the stacks
Before I open my mouthI get all the facts
I could never fall offit s too many hot tracks
I m affiliated with too many hot cats
to end upcrawlin 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 childrenQueens is in the buildin
That blank look on your grill ll get filled in
Slow down babyyou 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 homeboyhere come the detox
I get my swagger onproud as a peacock
Bars is hotbeats is pumpin like a ? box
[Chorus]
Shake it baby shake it
If you a real O.G. put your hands in the air with mec mon
Shake it baby shake it
Young ladies in the spotif you came up in the place to rockc mon
Shake it baby shake it
Divided we fallstay together and forever we ballc mon
Shake it baby shake it
You do it for the gangsters
I do it for the ladiesbut 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 ballstheir hearts and minds follow
Pay yourself firstthat 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 focusedevery decision is made with precision
It seems like greed s the world religion
But L want cakesave the crumbs for the pidgeons
Black manget the flies outcha eyes
You can t cause where you born but you affect where you die
Until that dayhealth and welfarecheers
And after my wakethe hood ll talkman listen here
He kept a mink and canaries in his ears
Like the Enterprise rollin over stars for years
Spit bars for yearskept hot cars for years
The dice was loaded but he beat the odds for yearsuh-huh!
[Chorus]
[Verse Three]
To be or not to be the manthat s the question
Got a vision in my mindI can see that I m destined
To lean up in the backseatgivin directions
Sweep the block clean as November elections
On the Blackberry readin cash flow quadrant
Brim to the sidemy gorillas is bonded
CLS Visionfour Hummers behind it
You forgot I m from Queens? You can get reminded
I m a man s manwhen 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 platinumit s been confirmed
I m more than a symbol of sexI get respect
For livin in the hills but still keepin it mad real
Stay on coursethe boss crush obstacles
You burnin metwo words: im-possible
[Chorus]
[LL Cool J]
Like I said
Yellow canary tennis on the neck
Three quarter black mink
Gucci hat to the sideshades
Gucci shoesbaggy jeans
Black Phantomoak wood
That s how I play
Yeah
Shake it baby shake it
You do it for the gangsters
I do it for the ladiesbut it s all money baby
