Shake
Brian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I like em darkskin
Lightskin
Slimthick, biggy
African girl knows to lock that ziggy
Natural hair or the weave and wigi
Whine that ting make the mandem rigid
Face like Nabeela
Confidence Vanilla
Kiuno kinanikumbusha Rehema Chalamila
Back side like it was mixed with Amira
Bring it neerer. Girl you a killer
Baby u the best
Unavotingisha like you got no stress
Vile nakucheki moyo unaenda resi
Ohh baby i dont mean to be direct
Love the way you shake it.. so amazin
Unavozungusha drives me crazy
You shake it so amazing
You drive me crazy yeah
(Shake shake shake baby
Twerk twerk twerk sweetie
Shake shake shake mami, you drive me crazy yeah)
Si unajua vile nnavopenda wasupuu
Na nadaka mpunga
Wanisumbue mwaka huu
Mhhmmm
Wanapenda vile navosuka
Verse kali
Wanaomba kuwa kwenye chupa
Mhhhhmm
Freshhh
Basii Zungusha tuu
Ukinikosha
Mhhhmmm
Kazi kwisha duuuh
Yeah..mi napendaga mambo makubwa makubwa
Sometime kucheki tu sio lazma tuoneshane huba...
Unajua kuitingisha ama tuitiane Uber?
Au aibu nkupe gambe tuelewane Lugha
A real bad gyal... Shake it even when she sober




Hata ukimpa soda tu
You know the game is over

Overall Meaning

The song "Shake" by Brian's Song is a bedroom track that describes the enthusiasm of the singer to a girl whom he admires for her physical appearance. He admires her regardless of her skin colour, weight, or hair type; he likes both natural hair and braided weaves. The girl has a pleasant personality as well, and maybe the reason behind the singer's confidence when singing about girls. The singer is amazed at the girl's beauty and the way she twerks it. He admires her so deeply that he compares her to other attractive African women, such as "Rehema Chalamila" and "Amira."


The lyrics also display that the singer is not afraid to be direct about his attraction to this girl. He describes how the girl's shaking movements cause an indescribable feeling that intoxicates him. The singer likes the girl so much that he tells her straight away that she is the best and that her confidence is attractive to him. The last lines of the lyrics indicate that the singer loves women who are comfortable with their bodies and can shake it for him in any mood, sober or not.

Forget all the rules, forget everything
You took my name out of schools
I take back my blessings
How can I bless the things I don’t believe in? Isn't right
Remember whose plan it is, Mine

You hate, you’re fake, you take away from me
Lie, don’t try to make things right
Earthquakes will shake to wake you up again
Cry, ask why I don’t protect your nation now

My rain is pouring down
You’re welcome to drink
Just follow your heart, And try not to think
I’ll relieve you from gut-wrenching
Torture in your soul
But first you have to die to yourself, now

You hate, you’re fake, you take away from me
Lie, don’t try to make things right
Earthquakes will shake to wake you up again
Cry, ask why I don’t protect your nation now

You’ll be so sorry then, you’ll wish you were forgiven
Quaking, shaking, earth quaking, shaking
Earth quaking, shaking, earth quaking, shaking
Earth quaking, shaking
Shake! Shake!
Quake! Quake!
Shake! Shake!
Quake! Quake!
Shake! Shake!
Quake! Quake!
Shake! Shake!
Quake! Quake!
Buildings are crashing down, just look around and see

You hate, you’re fake, you take away from me
Lie, don’t try to make things right
Earthquakes will shake to wake you up again
Cry, ask why I don’t protect your nation now
Cry, ask why I don’t protect your nation now

Head is the key to making great music. Munky really struggled without Head begging there to write all the songs.

On two occasions in this song, primarily in the so-called interlude, we can hear this old amazing, korny, itchy guitar sound. Baruch HaShem.
