Shake it off
Jay-Z feat. Mariah Carey Lyrics

You best come on, get that ass swung on
Be prepared to face the consequences of your actions.

When dem thags load on, nig-gas best hold on
When the gangsters come around, brace yourself.

Make sure it's stick so Ricky ain't droppin' Mickeys
Make sure everything is in order to avoid any unexpected issues.

My bitches puts on them quickies, and skirts gets the itchy
My female associates are fast-paced and always ready for action.

Pimpin' this game quickly, and brody and niggas quit me
I'm playing this game of life quickly and those who can't keep up, leave me behind.

For cat that talk iffy, get swung on like K. Griffey
If someone speaks unclearly, they will be met with hostility.

They spit willie, though half of the bitches feel me
They talk big, but only some truly understand me.

The other half is trashed, 'cause words could never kill me
The other half is irrelevant because their words cannot bring me down.

I got this thick, it's ridiculous how I switch shit
I have a thick flow that can change effortlessly.

Look who I'm with, 215 and Timbaland, bitch
See who I'm collaborating with - the talented rapper from Philadelphia and the legendary producer Timbaland.

Whether it's friend or foe, Heiniken, Verde, Cris or Moe
Whether it's a friend or enemy, I'm always celebrating with a variety of drinks.

I'm stackin' decimals, stoops, steps and best of yous
I'm making a lot of money and improving my status over everyone else.

I write mine, like mine, now I gotta spark
I write my own lyrics and I'm proud of it, now it's time for me to ignite the stage.

All bite, no bark, play my damn part
I'm all action and no talk, and I play my role perfectly.

I get inside you, show you how Philly bitches do
I enter your mind and showcase how women from Philadelphia take on the world.

Pimp you, then I'll get rid of you, I'll shit on your whole crew
I'll use you for what I need, then dispose of you, and I'll dominate your entire team.

Now let me count it off
Let me showcase my skills and count it off.

Hey you, blow your whistle
Encouraging someone to hype up the crowd.

I know it's rare, but niggas they feel me everywhere
Even though it's uncommon, people from everywhere connect with me.

I'm from the land of white tees, Vickie's and Roca-Wear
I'm from the urban lifestyle that consists of white T-shirts, Victoria's Secret and Roca-Wear clothing.

NY guys spit at cats, do-rags
New York guys are always ready to rap and show off their do-rags.

Pop it in turn it up, bang my shit in they Jags
Play my music loudly in their cars and make them go crazy.

I got dem niggas in LA crip walkin' in the truck
I have people from Los Angeles dancing in their cars.

Atlanta, down south bamma's, you know they get it crunk
Southern people from Atlanta are known to party hard.

Now I'ma float on, roll me somethin' to smoke on
I'm taking it easy and smoking something relaxing.

You hope I go away, continue to get your hope on
Even though people want me to quit, I'll keep doing my thing and they can keep hoping I disappear.

Rap game, regardless I stack change
In the rap game, I'm making money no matter what.

Ms. Jade is tha mutha-f-in' name
Ms. Jade is a strong and powerful woman who commands respect.

I got a L-O-C-K down the freeway, BK back up to Philly
I have a clear path to success from my hometown Brooklyn to my current city Philadelphia.

Won't stop 'til they kill me
I'm not stopping until I've accomplished everything I want, even if it means death.

I get it done, rap chicks see me and run
I'm successful in everything I do, and other female rappers are intimidated by me.

Only mixin' coke with the rum
I only mix my drinks with the best ingredients.

Ain't scared, niggas be bums
I'm not afraid of anything, even people who are beneath me.

You want to see me, beats fuck up ya hooptie
If you want to battle me in music, it'll destroy your car because of how loud and powerful my beats are.

Suburbans, Benz or the two seats
I can handle any type of car, from a Suburban to a Mercedes-Benz to a two-seater sports car.

Major numbers the first week
I'll sell a lot of records in the first week of release.

Uh, come on with it, get down with it
Let's keep the energy up and keep going.

Yea, it's young Vito, voice of the young people
I'm the young voice of the generation that people can connect with.

Roc C-E-O, hot hits for the P-O
I'm the CEO of Roc-A-Fella Records, producing hot hits for the police officers (or people in general).

I'm so trill, the wood pandlin', handlin' meals
I'm so genuine and authentic, I'm handling everything effortlessly.

Twenty inch jumpers from standin' on my wheels
My wheels are so high, I can jump up to 20 inches off the ground from just standing on them.

They can't understand it, god damnit, he's ill
People can't comprehend how talented and gifted I am.

Everytime I drive, gotta prescribe 'em for panic pills
People get frightened when they see me drive because of how great I am.

I'm gigantic, the Titanic would never sink
I'm so big and powerful that I can't be taken down, even in a disaster like the Titanic sinking.

Even with the band playin', before that happend, that man sprayin' (BUCK!)
Even while the band was still playing on the Titanic, I would still be safe unlike that man shooting in the song.

They all fifteens, glocks and tecs
Everyone has weapons, from handguns to rifles.

AK's will pop, I bring ya all out the closet, girls
I'll bring out everyone's true colors and make them come out of hiding.

Niggas is homos really, but when they smokin' on purple
Some men are homosexual, but that changes when they smoke weed.

They get loco, but you know I know the drilly
Weed makes people crazy, but I know how to handle it.

It's for these positions, that's why I keep the biscuits
I'm in this game of life to win and that's why I keep my weapons close.

You ain't Tony Sopranno, you pussy, sleep with the fishes
You're not the boss, so watch yourself or you'll be in trouble.

You know I'm reppin from that 7-1-8
I'm representing the area code of Brooklyn where I'm from.

Shots to you f-in' son, class over, lesson's done
I'm taking shots at my competition and showing that I'm better than them.

HOV'!!!
Jay-Z's iconic signature, representing his brand and status in the industry.
