Shook
Venomous Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm on fire
I put out my love for hire
And you spent all my desire, baby
And you don't even know
I'm all strung out
On apathy and self doubt
Oh yeah I can't see no way out, baby
I ain't got no place to go

You got me shook babe
Yeah you got shook babe
Uh huh, you got me shook now honey
And you don't even know

I had a big plan
I thought I was a big man
But you knocked me out like tryptophan, baby
And now i'm on the road

You got me shook babe
Yeah you got shook babe
Uh huh, you got me shook now honey
And you don't even know

Don't underestimate
The rate my heart accelerates
Cause I'm feeling so degenerated, baby
I think it's time to go. You gotta go...

You got me shook babe
Yeah you got shook babe
Uh huh, you got me shook now honey
And you don't even know

You gotta go...
You gotta go...




You gotta go...
You gotta go...
