BIG & RICH Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby don't you know I'm gonna catch your world on fire
Gonna take you so high we'll be tearing a hole in the sky
I'm a dynamite daddy, I'll put the rhythm in your blues
I'm not a wishy-washy boy like you're used to
[Chorus]
I'm a real soul shaker
I'm a giver and a taker
Yeah, when I give you what I got, you're going to rock
Ain't gonna wam-bam, thank you ma'am
I ain't gonna be just another heart breaker
Baby don't you know I'm a real soul shaker
Momma always said, I'd run into a girl like you.
Sweet and smart and stronger than a hundred proof.
You're so fine you'd make a bulldog break his chain.
I gonna wrap you up in love like a hurricane.
And blow you away.
[Chorus]
You're like perfect peaches in a tree
(You're like perfect peaches in a tree)
You won't find a better honeybee
A better honey be then me, 'cause
[Chorus]
I'm a true love maker
I'm a girlfriend taker
Yeah, when I give you what I got, you're going to rock
Ain't gonna wam-bam, thank you ma'am
I ain't gonna be just another heart breaker
Baby don't you know I'm a real soul shaker
In the song "Soul Shaker," BIG & RICH provide a high-energy, upbeat tempo tune about a man who is so self-assured of his capabilities in love that he boasts about it confidently. His opening line, "Baby don't you know I'm a real soul shaker" sets the tone of the song right off the bat. He's telling this woman that she's never encountered someone like him before. He reassures her that he's going to ignite her world, lift her so high that she'll feel like she's tearing holes in the sky, and provide a rhythm to her blues.
Throughout the song, he brags about being different from the "wishy-washy" boys she's used to, and instead, he's a "true love maker," "a giver and a taker." He then compares her to “perfect peaches in a tree” and mentions that she won’t find anyone better than him. Finally, the chorus repeats his self-aggrandizing statements that he's a "real soul shaker" and a "true love maker" and that when he's done with her, she'll know what it means to rock.
Overall, "Soul Shaker" is an optimistic, unapologetic display of a man's self-confidence and boastful attitude towards love.
