Shake 'N' Bake (Ruff 'N'Tuff) Songtext
von Al Agami

What is this?
It′s the champion

Thanks to the promo, pre-meditated
I'm makin′ my move flowin' so 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 try
To keep up the struggle while the loved ones die
So 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 a 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 and bake and battle and bruise, baby
I′m here to shake and bake and battle and bruise, baby
I′m here to shake and bake and battle, shake and bake and battle
I'm here to shake and bake and battle and bruise, baby
Shake and bake and battle and bruise, baby
I′m here to shake and bake and battle and bruise, baby
I'm here to shake and bake and battle, shake and bake and battle
I′m here to shake and bake and battle and 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 and you're psychopathetic
You wanna master the fact, but you lack street knowledge

Called it black and 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 (Yeah)
Taps installed to control the crowd (Uh-huh)
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 and bake and battle and bruise, baby
I'm here to shake and bake and battle and bruise, baby
I′m here to shake and bake and battle, shake and bake and battle
I'm here to shake and bake and battle and bruise, baby
Shake and bake and battle and bruise, baby
I′m here to shake and bake and battle and bruise, baby
I'm here to shake and bake and battle, shake and bake and battle
I′m here to shake and bake and battle and bruise

Got you pissed off because I was off-piece
To goin' down slopes, grabbin', slidin′ on dope beats
The poet in motion makin′ you feel the breeze
Settlin' the score as the metal will seize
Hold of 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, they'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 with 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 and bake and battle and bruise, baby
I'm here to shake and bake and battle and bruise, baby
I′m here to shake and bake and battle, shake and bake and battle
I′m here to shake and bake and battle and bruise
Shake and bake and battle and bruise, baby
I'm here to shake and bake and battle and bruise, baby
I′m here to shake and bake and battle, shake and bake and battle
I'm here to shake and bake and battle and bruise

Shake and bake and battle and bruise (Shake and bake and—)
Shake and bake and battle and bruise
Shake and bake and battle and bruise
Shake and bake and battle and bruise, baby
