Shakin Back
Kevin Gates Lyrics

This how I'm livin'
This is what my life looks like currently

Two for thirty-five I just come out the H
I purchased two ounces of drugs for thirty-five dollars shortly after being released from jail

Hit it with Bolivia, it look like the 'Caine
After cutting the drugs with a substance from Bolivia, it resembled cocaine

Twenty-seven ounces, three 9 pieces I'm shaking back
I currently have twenty-seven ounces of drugs and three 9-piece sets, which signifies that I am bouncing back and regaining stability

My old hoe gon' fuck on Sunday, can't wait for that
My former girlfriend is going to have sex on Sunday, which I am looking forward to

H town, no fittin' on, we dealin' that
In Houston, we don't wait around. We deal drugs quickly.

Rumors hit my top every minute I'm built for that
I constantly hear rumors about me, but I am capable of handling them

If I can pray there I can stay there I ain't scared of nothing
As long as I can pray, I can remain in a particular area without fear

Your grandma stay there, you don't lay there
Even your elderly grandmother is able to survive in an area that you cannot handle

Boy you scared to hustle
You are afraid to work hard and earn a living

Oh well, really yeah, name ringing bells (yeah)
Regardless of opinions, my name is well-known and recognized

And my neighborhood supplier just got out the Feds
My local drug supplier has recently been released from prison

I'm pissing clean for my P.O, I'ma living legend
I am able to pass my probation drug tests and I am viewed as a notorious figure in my community

Straight out the clink
I was just recently released from jail

Fuck every C.O who encountered Kevin (yeah)
I harbor anger towards every correctional officer that I have interacted with

White people showing love
Caucasian individuals are expressing positive feelings towards me

Niggas hating on me (what up?)
Other African American individuals are envious of my success

Say they got a cake baked and they waiting on me (leggo)
They claim to have drugs prepared for me and are eagerly anticipating my arrival

I went flat
I encountered a failure or setback

Had to scratch
I had to work hard and struggle

Women skated on me
Women left or abandoned me

I pray five times a day I had to talk to God
I practice Islam and pray to Allah five times a day. I seek guidance and support from my religious beliefs

In Chicago going hard without a body guard (grr)
I am putting in work and being active in Chicago without any security or protection

I'm in control and I'm controlling, I'm a shot caller (shot)
I am in charge of my own life and the decision-making process. I have a significant amount of power and influence

Couple rappers but they names I am not calling (not)
There are a few rappers that I choose not to mention by name

Y'all gotta pay up that lil' lease, I'm a lil' land Lord (yeah)
You owe me money for your drug purchase, and I am viewed as a minor drug kingpin

If you don't pay up what you order, I'ma stack for it (stack)
If you do not pay me for the drugs I provided, I will take your stored inventory as collateral

Rubber bands
I store my money in rubber bands

Coming in, on command
I have a steady stream of income available at my disposal

Say he just broke the seal
He recently opened the package of drugs

Can I put it back on feet?
Is it possible for me to sell the drugs and make a profit?

And once he run it up then he gonna put it back on me (right)
After he profits from selling the drugs, he will reimburse me

He tell me all these things and get mad if I don't agree (wassup?)
He shares his thoughts and opinions with me and becomes upset if I do not concur

Your habit stronger than your hustle
Your addiction to drugs takes priority over your drive to earn money

Your hustle I don't believe (turn up)
I do not trust or have faith in your ability to make money

In jail I run into you know I go in there like Lump
If I encounter you in jail, I will approach you aggressively and with force

Reezy changed form, I thought we would stay in touch (damn)
My associate Reezy has transformed into a different person, and I am disappointed that we have grown distant

Juli' hit the line when he call me I'm finna come (wassup?)
My friend Juli' contacted me, and I plan to meet up with him soon

I'm jumping out the 'Rari, they think I don't gotta gun (boom boom)
I am exiting my Ferrari, and people assume that I do not carry a firearm

Whats happening nigga?
What is going on, my friend?

Keep you something, if not
Carry a weapon for protection, if possible

I could take you uptown and reach you something by the spot
I am capable of providing drugs if we go to a certain area

I'm holding shop with shop gettin' held for me
I am running my own drug operation, and someone else is carrying the inventory for me

You hanging by my trap but you ain't ever sell nothing (right)
You often spend time near my drug operation, but you have never sold any drugs yourself
