Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Down at Momo beats
Stackin' paper to infinity
Wanna give a shout out
To my boy K-Swizzy down in Trinity
Shake it out girl, shake it out
Shake it out girl, shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out girl, shake it out, shake it out
Know I step to the left
Ya know i'm fresh to death
Gotta give it to ya girl
'Til I n't got nuttin' left
So I hopped in rode out, got on 85
The better the hoe
The better the car ya drive
I'm paid, gettin laid
Send ya soul to the grave
Give it to her once
Now I'm the boy she crave
Won't find em' mo fresh
Only brand new shoes
Roll windows down blarin'
Rollin' on 22s
Me and Mo how we roll
So I keep ya girl hurt
Play at the wrong time
Find ya self in the dirt
I stay low on my toes
And the haters don't play
Ya know the city I'm reppin'
Gotta be in the A
Shake it out girl, shake it out
Shake it out girl, shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out girl, shake it out
Shake it out girl, shake it out, shake it out
Now it's Mario Bros
Finish ya game over
Take over ya bitch
While I'm rockin' a Range Rover
The new Momo beat make ya shoulder fall
More real than Marlon Hall to a basketball
Breakin' the law, southern draw
Down here pretty thick
Newest crew in the south is the LC click
So either one I'm the best
So boy don't even try
Ya know ya boy Geezy
Gotta stay so fly
Shake it out girl, shake it out
Shake it out girl, shake it out, shake it out
Shake it out girl, shake it out
Shake it out girl, shake it out, shake it out

This song is necessary right now. Love how it's about knowing your self worth instead of being sad over a fuckboy
@millymilly8264
Yesss
@francescahuawei4194
uh, how about not being sad over a boy? My knowing my self worth has nothing to do with anyone around me or what they say, it's permanent. most people respect themselves, it's others who don't respect them.

This video is 15-years old, but its concept is timeless. When a dude or female cheating on yo ass and they don't appreciate what you have to offer, you gotta shake them off. Life is too short to be with somebody who aint feeling you.
