Shake 'N' Bake Songtext
von Al Agami

Thanks to the promo, premeditated
I′m makin' my move, flowin′ soul motivated
Just like a martyr, am I gonna die hard
Or settle old scores and get some new scars
No mercy given to the philistines
Soul is the essence that they really can't find
Steady hard workin' for my people who tried
To keep up the struggle while their loved ones died
Soul with the slow-mo melody molestin′
Kickin′ up dust, your cardiac arrestin'
Words and the meanings, but to you they ain′t evident
In a trance and you soon become irrelevant
Matters of state is the prime concern
Dance 'til you drop and dance ′til you burn
I'm comin′ at you with the bass and the trouble
You couldn't dig it if I hit you with a shovel


Shake 'n bake ′n battle ′n bruise, baby
I'm here to shake ′n bake 'n battle ′n bruise, baby
I'm here to shake ′n bake 'n battle, shake 'n bake ′n battle
I′m here to shake 'n bake ′n battle 'n bruise, baby
Shake ′n bake 'n battle ′n bruise, baby
I'm here to shake 'n bake ′n battle ′n bruise, baby
I'm here to shake ′n bake 'n battle, shake ′n bake 'n battle
I′m here to shake 'n bake 'n battle ′n bruise

Reading and seeding was the master plan
But at the rate you′re workin', you need a faster man
You just ain′t cuttin' even though you′re energetic
Callin' me a psycho when you′re psychopathetic
You want a massive attack but you lack street knowledge
Called it black, you kept it out of college
Shame on you, and the evil you do
'Cause I know the deal, you wanna cripple the crew
When I go at it and the raps are graphic
There'll be no stoppin′ ′cause it's telepathic
Tactful stall to control the crowd
Lock, stock, and barrel, no blanks allowed
The freestyle fanatical African acrobat
Deep undercover is the place I′m at
I'm comin′ at you with the bass and the trouble
You couldn't dig it if I hit you with a shovel


Shake ′n bake 'n battle 'n bruise, baby
I′m here to shake ′n bake 'n battle ′n bruise, baby
I'm here to shake ′n bake 'n battle, shake ′n bake 'n battle
I'm here to shake ′n bake ′n battle 'n bruise, baby
Shake ′n bake 'n battle ′n bruise, baby
I'm here to shake ′n bake 'n battle 'n bruise, baby
I′m here to shake ′n bake 'n battle, shake ′n bake 'n battle
I′m here to shake 'n bake ′n battle 'n bruise

Got you pissed off because I was off piste
Goin' down slopes, grabbin′ and slidin′ on dope beats
The poet in motion, makin' you feel the breeze
Settlin′ the score as the metal will cease
Holdin' your heart for the crimes you committed
Like the man said, I′m nothin' like an idiot
Get it? ′Cause I got nothin' to hide
And ain't nobody gonna break my stride (Nope)
Let me stick it to the commonwealth
To me and my people, you′re all about stealth
Robbin′ from the needy, givin' to the greedy
Singin′ that song about how they gonna feed me, huh
Talk about a dip trip
But the brain of the brother is somethin' that they can′t flip
I'm comin′ at 'em with the bass and the trouble
They couldn't dig it if I hit ′em with a shovel

Shake ′n bake 'n battle ′n bruise, baby
I'm here to shake ′n bake 'n battle ′n bruise, baby
I'm here to shake 'n bake ′n battle, shake ′n bake 'n battle
I′m here to shake 'n bake ′n battle 'n bruise
Shake ′n bake 'n battle 'n bruise, baby
I′m here to shake ′n bake 'n battle ′n bruise, baby
I'm here to shake ′n bake 'n battle, shake ′n bake 'n battle
I'm here to shake ′n bake ′n battle 'n bruise

Shake ′n bake 'n battle ′n bruise
Shake 'n bake ′n battle 'n bruise
Shake 'n bake ′n battle ′n bruise
Shake 'n bake ′n battle 'n bruise, baby
