Shook
Keshia Chantรยฉ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When we was out to catch a flick
Just me and my clique
I made sure that we wasn't late
'Cause the movie started at eight
I was chilling in back seat
This boy came and sat beside next to me
He really blew my mind
Can't concentrate, feeling sweaty
Getting butterflies, getting dizzy
Got to keep it cool, got to keep it fly
And remember, he is just a guy
Tell me what is this feel inside?
I never felt like this before
Alright, but I got to keep it real tonight
This boy, he got me shook
'Cause he's looking so fine
He's gonna be mine
The way that he moves just gets to me
Keep shaking that thing
You're making me sing
He got just what I like
Every day of the week
My baby's so sweet
Come over here and let's sit down tonight
You're looking so right
Your game is so tight
This boy, he got me shook
Back stage at the fashion show
Lights out, I'm ready to go
Looking down at the runaway
Saw the boy from the other day
He was checking out my silky gear
Didn't expect him to be here
And Keshia's got a secret
He's the boy that I wanna be with
Can't concentrate, feeling sweaty
Getting butterflies, getting dizzy
Got to keep it cool, got to keep it fly
And remember, he is just a guy
Tell me what is this feel inside?
I never felt like this before alright
But I got to keep it real tonight
This boy he got me shook
'Cause he's looking so fine
He's gonna be mine
The way that he moves just gets to me
Keep shaking that thing
You're making me sing
He got just what I like
Every day of the week
My baby's so sweet
Come over here and let's sit down tonight
You're looking so right
Your game is so tight
This boy he got me shook
Mm, mm, yeah, yeah
Mm, mm, yeah, yeah
Mm, mm, yeah, yeah
All that I could say was
Mm, mm, yeah, yeah
Mm, mm, yeah, yeah
Mm, mm, yeah, yeah
This boy he got me shook
'Cause he's looking so fine
He's gonna be mine
The way that he moves just gets to me
Keep shaking that thing
You're making me sing
He got just what I like
Every day of the week
My baby's so sweet
Come over here and let's sit down tonight
You're looking so right
Your game is so tight
This boy he got me shook
'Cause he's looking so fine
He's gonna be mine
The way that he moves just gets to me
Keep shaking that thing
You're making me sing
He got just what I like
Every day of the week
My baby's so sweet
Come over here and let's sit down tonight
You're looking so right
Your game is so tight
This boy, he got me shook, yeah, yeah
The lyrics of Keshia Chantรฉ's song "Shook" are about the excitement and nervousness that come with having a crush on someone. In the first verse, she describes going to the movies with her friends and feeling butterflies when a boy sits next to her. She tries to keep her cool and remember that he's just a guy, but she can't help but feel shaken up by his presence. In the second verse, she sees him again at a fashion show and realizes that he's the boy she wants to be with. Throughout the song, she repeats the chorus, expressing how the boy makes her feel and how she wants to be with him.
The song captures the familiar feeling of being enamored with someone and the mix of excitement and nerves that come with it. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the intensity of her feelings and her desire to be with him. The verses convey her attempts to maintain her composure and try to navigate the situation, but ultimately it's clear that she's truly "shook" by this boy.

Just my group of friends
I made sure that we wasn't late
I ensured that we arrived on time
'Cause the movie started at eight
Because the movie began at eight o'clock
I was chilling in back seat
I was sitting in the back seat
Take the first one I can see
I sat in the first available seat
This boy came and sat beside next to me
A boy sat next to me
He really blew my mind
I was really impressed by him
Can't concentrate, feeling sweaty
I can't focus and I feel nervous
Getting butterflies, getting dizzy
I feel nervous and lightheaded
Got to keep it cool, got to keep it fly
I need to stay calm and collected
And remember, he is just a guy
I need to remember that he's just a regular person
Tell me what is this feel inside?
I don't understand this feeling I have
I never felt like this before
I've never felt this way before
Alright, but I got to keep it real tonight
I need to be honest with myself tonight
This boy, he got me shook

Back stage at the fashion show
Behind the scenes of the fashion show
Lights out, I'm ready to go
The lights went off and I was ready to leave
Looking down at the runaway
Looking at the models on the runway
Saw the boy from the other day
I saw the boy who sat next to me at the movies
He was checking out my silky gear
He was admiring my clothing
Didn't expect him to be here
I wasn't anticipating seeing him
And Keshia's got a secret
I have a secret
He's the boy that I wanna be with
He's the guy I want to date
Mm, mm, yeah, yeah
Hey, hey
All that I could say was
All I could say was
This boy he got me shook
This boy has me feeling nervous and excited
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, hey
