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.
Terminal B
070 Shake Lyrics

When you take this shot now
Look me in my eyes before you sip it
When you take this off
I can't even lie, I be looking
We could lock it up
I be feeling free in your prison
Then I start to wonder, oh
Something I'll never have
And then I start to wonder
Why can't I feel it with another?
And then I start to wonder
Why can't I see it with another?
Yeah, maybe she's a lockdown lover, oh, yeah
Maybe she's locked down, oh
And I'm screaming, "Fuck sleep"
I'ma need you 'til my knees weak
In a week need you Terminal B
I need you to hold me, oh-oh
Yeah
And I'm rushing home
(I was hiding inside what I felt, I felt like) hmm
(This isn't what you're supposed to be feeling when you looking at it)
I felt this once before
What if she's a lockdown lover?
What if she never leave me for it?
And then I start to wonder
Why can't I feel this with another? Yeah
Thinking maybe she just wanna be free for the night
But don't you fall in love with my baby
We all gonna die, so really nobody's safe here
Gone again, so long
Got your bitch, she feeling FOMO
We could all squeeze up in this four door
I was, I was walking all alone
But I realized at that time that
I didn't feel like I needed it
I needed it so I couldn't receive it
It wasn't, it wasn't time for me to receive it
I was confused
I felt this once before
Consider, consider it all
Consider, consider this energy we gave each other
Consider the times
I felt this once before (it wasn't, it wasn't )
It wasn't time for me to receive it
I was confused
The lyrics of 070 Shake's "Terminal B" are a contemplation of the nature of relationships and the struggles of finding emotional connection despite distance and separation. The song seems to revolve around a central figure, perhaps the singer herself, who is stuck in Terminal B, a metaphorical space where she is neither completely free nor completely captive. She sings about the conflicting feelings that arise within her as she navigates the complexities of loving someone who is not physically present.
The first verse is where the conflicting emotions are introduced as she sings about looking into the eyes of her lover and being unable to lie about her feelings. She describes feeling imprisoned in her lover's hold and yet free to express herself. She questions why she cannot feel the same with someone else and then poses the thought that her lover may be a lockdown lover. She screams in frustration that she needs this love until he needs her – a painful reminder that the relationship is not equal. She describes the desire to be held in Terminal B, the space where she is trapped.
The second verse also speaks to the singer's insecurities about her relationship, asking the question of whether her lockdown lover will leave her. She wonders why she cannot feel the same with anyone else and concludes the verse by warning a potential rival not to fall in love with her lover. The bridge of the song takes on a stream of consciousness quality where the singer seems to be lost in thought, considering the complexities of love and the struggle to find connection. The phrase "I felt this once before" is repeated, almost like a mantra, as if the singer is trying to convince herself that she has experienced this before and can overcome it.
