The lyrics to D.J. Jazzy Jeff's song Shake It Off reflect a carefree attitude towards life's problems, with the message being that we should dance away our troubles. The first two lines of the song mention Baltimore and K-Swift, an acclaimed Baltimore club music DJ, who had passed away not long before the song was released. The beat of the song features typical Baltimore club music influences, with a quick tempo and club-focussed lyrics.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the act of 'shaking off' negativity and bad energy. The lyrics suggest that success and money are the means of achieving this feat. The rapper also emphasizes the importance of not letting negativity get to oneself, with lines such as "Cuz long as it ain't nuttin Gon shake it off". The verse includes a warning to 'haters', with the lyrics "Don't make me go get my gun And make me spray ya", adding a slightly threatening undertone to the lyrics.
The song emphasizes the idea of having a good time, referencing the weekend and the act of going out and having fun with lines such as "Thank God that it's Friday Cuz you know we gon be lit". The rap in the verse includes references to alcohol and drugs, as well as more suggestive lines such as "N If you rey ta have a good time, shordy break it down".
