Shake it two time

Shake it one time, shake it two time
Let's shake it one time baby, your two times baby
I'm Bow Wow, you know how I do now baby
A new style, and I got a new sound baby
In my wrist, ear, neck, bling (ha ha)
Easy on 'em, they sayin' be easy on 'em
I'm sayin' be Weezy, don't be playin'
I'm too freezy on 'em, I'm frozen
'Cause VBs on 'em, float with the TV on 'em
Floatin' the GT on 'em, floatin' like Jesus on 'em
They gonna go on and more on much murder
You can't resuscitate him
Who's fatal for hate forsaken, I keep the ladies waitin'
I keep the ladies paintin' and drippin' and change 'em
When I'm trippin', grippin' the grain and
Switchin' up lanes I make 'em shake it
[Chorus]
One time, shake it two time
Shake it one time, shake it two time
Shake it one time, shake it two time

You know how we be right, this time I brought my partner
They call me Lamborghini Moss, swizz the monster

"Shake It" by Bow Wow featuring Swizz Beatz is a party anthem that is all about shaking the body to the music. The song is primarily made for the clubs or parties where people dance, and the lyricist focuses on the importance of shaking the body. The chorus is catchy, and it's repeated throughout the song to make the audience sing along with it. Bow Wow starts the song with an introduction to his new style, and he emphasizes his ear, neck, and wrist jewelry. Swizz Beatz comes in the second verse and adds his flavor to the song with his signature flow. He encourages the ladies to shake it and promises to make them levitate with his beats.
The chorus of the song is about the different ways to shake it. The first line asks the listener to shake it two times, and the second line tells them to shake it one time. The third and fourth lines take it a step further by adding some complexity to the shake with the words "one, two two, one one two two two." The verse where Swizz Beatz raps talks about diverse ways of shaking it, such as shaking the head, nails, and feet. The song concludes with Swiss bringing the beat back, and it ends with Bow Wow asking people to repeat the chorus.
