That hoe's is fine, but but but but this one's a killa
That hoe's is fine, but but but but this one's a killa
That hoe's is fine, but but but but this one's a killa

All the lil' mamas, all around the world
Shake that ass if you a nasty girl
Back that ass up says juvenile
Show a nigga some titties, like "Girls Gone Wild"
Tear off this clip of clothes, I want to see you in the nude
You can keep on your high heel shoes
So follow me down to yellow brick road, where niggas go to see naked hoe's
Shake that shit bitch
And be off in the club with a hard-ass dick, then drop like this bitch
If you wanna make the money shawty work that shit
Put a hump in your back and lift your rump
Do a three-point stance, put yo fist up her ass
You must be on that Kanye work-out plan, like head, shoulders, knees, hoes

Shake, shake, just shake, shake, just shake, shake, just shake
Chica, shake, shake

Shake, shake, just shake, shake, just shake, shake, just shake

Yeah we break it down betta shake a booty
And hoes and the hoe with the real tight clothes
One time for the gang with the ying yang twins
We already know we off the reel

The only way that we gon' talk If your breath smells like mine
Girl I don't give a fuck 'cause you fine

So while we in the club betta get these girls
'Cause on the streets there aint no action

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Shake" by Ying Yang Twins feat. Pitbull are about having a good time on the dance floor with attractive women. The repeated phrase "shake, shake, just shake, shake, just shake, shake, just shake" is an invitation to the women to dance and move their bodies in a suggestive and sexual manner. The chorus phrase "mentirosa" means liar in Spanish, and it seems to be directed towards one particular woman who might be playing games or not being truthful about her intentions.


The verses feature several references to getting drunk, smoking weed, and engaging in sexual activity with multiple partners. The line "Take em out in cruise, take em out all dressed, is the realest true niggas in the ATL" suggests that the song takes place in Atlanta and that the singers are proud to be part of the real gangster scene. The repeated phrase "That hoe's fine, but but but but this one's a killa" reinforces the idea that the women in the club are interchangeable and the Ying Yang Twins and Pitbull are looking for the best one to take home.


On a deeper level, "Shake" is a celebration of hedonism and living life to the fullest without caring about the consequences or moral implications. The song's explicit lyrics and provocative tone may be offensive to some listeners, but they accurately reflect the attitudes and values of a certain subculture within hip-hop and urban American culture.
