While Shake and her 070 counterparts – PHI, J Sebastian, Yung Rose and Ether – continue to buzz about their local Jersey hip-hop scene, the group is slowly starting to creep around territory outside of the tri-state area – and with good reason. The production in many of Shake’s tracks boast a (familiar-sounding) hazy, snare-happy trap beat, but the artist’s genre-warped, baritone vocal spits and gritty realness land her in a category of her own.

070 Shake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If this lasts longer than the song or the nightclub, I don't know
It wasn't made for you to swim or you to want to get deep, you're only shallow
Very careless I have been, this sweater ninety-six
Ask before my tour, before I even exist, before I even exist
Before I even existed, yeah, before I even existed
Did I want to get rich, did I want to live?
To the block like this, like this, like this?
Did I even exist, did I want to live?
Did I want to bring what I got to the block
To the block like this?
And the people that I met make it bigger
And I can promise you I'm doin' better
And I can't leave you much, just this glitter
And I can't leave you much, just this glitter, just this glitter
All over your body (this glitter)
All around your body (this glitter)
All around your body (this glitter)
All around your body (this glitter)
All around your body (this glitter)
All around your body (this glitter)
All around your body (this glitter)
All around your body
All the sudden this, all day
That's twenty-four hours outside of the gym
It's been nineteen tears to nineteen years
And now is that you wanna question
How, when, where, and who I have been
This time I don't be losin' my head
Truth is I don't wanna lie again
Truth is I wanna find myself again
Tell me my friend, my friend
When I did lose it? My friend
Tell me my friend, my friend, my friend
When I did lose it, lose it again?
I've been drinkin' lots to forget about the news
I know when I sober up I'll have to pay my dues
My friend, my dearest friend
When did I lose it? Ah
Did I want to get rich, did I want to live?
Did I want to bring what I got to the block
To the block like this, like this, like this?
Did I even exist, did I want to live?
Did I want to bring what I got to the block
To the block like this?
And the people that I met make it bigger
And I can promise you I'm doin' better
And I can't leave you much, just this glitter
And I can't leave you much, just this glitter, just this glitter
All over your body (this glitter)
All around your body (this glitter)
All around your body (this glitter)
All around your body (this glitter)
All around your body (this glitter)
All around your body (this glitter)
All around your body (this glitter)
All around your body
All over, all over your body, all over your body
All over your body, your body
All over your body, your body

The lyrics of "Glitter" by 070 Shake seem to deal with the rapper's self-reflection and introspection. The song is about questioning the meaning of success and fame and how it affects one's identity. The opening lines suggest that the fleeting nature of a song or a nightclub cannot sustain a deeper connection or understanding. The lyrics indicate that the rapper is grappling with a sense of hollowness that comes with stardom - a world that rewards shallow behavior and careless attitudes.
These lines "Did I want to get rich, did I want to live? Did I want to bring what I got to the block To the block like this?" suggest a struggle to reconcile her goals with the reality of her success. The chorus of the song is where the title "Glitter" comes into significance - it seems to refer to the superficiality that surrounds her. The glitter could represent her success and fame, but it is fleeting and transient, and it is all that she has to give after it fades away.
The lyrics are complex in their introspection, and the images are powerful in their implications. The song's melancholic tone emphasizes the rapper's tussle with her identity and the price she paid for her fame. Overall,"Glitter" is a thoughtful take on the music industry and fame's pitfalls, disguised by a catchy and danceable beat.

If this lasts longer than the song or the nightclub, I don't know
I'm uncertain about the future of this relationship
It wasn't made for you to swim or you to want to get deep, you're only shallow
Our relationship was never meant to be serious
Very careless I have been, this sweater ninety-six
I've been careless about preserving my past and my memories
Ask before my tour, before I even exist, before I even exist
Before I even existed, yeah, before I even existed
I wish people had asked about my past and my struggles before I became famous
Did I want to get rich, did I want to live?
Did I want to bring what I got to the block
To the block like this, like this, like this?
Did I even exist, did I want to live?
Did I want to bring what I got to the block
To the block like this?
Did I really enjoy the path I took to get here?
And the people that I met make it bigger
And I can promise you I'm doin' better
And I can't leave you much, just this glitter
And I can't leave you much, just this glitter, just this glitter

All I have to offer is my music, and I hope it brings some joy to those who listen
All the sudden this, all day
That's twenty-four hours outside of the gym
It's been nineteen tears to nineteen years
And now is that you wanna question
How, when, where, and who I have been
This time I don't be losin' my head
Truth is I don't wanna lie again
Truth is I wanna find myself again
Tell me my friend, my friend

When did I lose it? Ah
I'm struggling to find my identity and deal with the pressures of fame
