Shake The World Lyrics

[Intro]
I heard I was cancelled (Hmm)
Well, let's speak on that
Red dot on my back, I became a target
And I'm flawed but flawless, that's what makes me August
Name hotter than a eight-month summer in Charlotte
And I'm great, no debate, no room for bargain
Really walk it like I talk it, y'all just be barkin'
Now if my shorty really ballin', I nickname her Spalding

[Verse]
This shit sound like crack, don't it?
This shit sound like I'm back for it
And that shit had a nigga paranoid
Industry tried to exile the boy
Mama said we all gotta bear our cross
I had to realize I'm cut from Jesus' cloth
My brother Sean told me, "Just give it time"
And your bitch be tellin' me I'm so damn fine
And it's true
Yeah, it's true, yeah
'Cause I'm nothin' like you
You, oh, you
I started my label named "Shake The World" (Then the world shook)
'Cause, goddamn it, that's right, I shake the world
I heard it's some shit that's bound to go down when you got a billion dollars on the elevator
Well, of course some shit was bound to go down when you tangled up with the world's favorite
(Movin' on)
Ooh, ah-ooh
(Now that I'm out of this Matrix, let's say a prayer for all my haters)
[Outro]
Earth below me, sky above me
Fill the dark of night with light
So that the morning sun reveals all snakes and enemies that's hiding
Make their terrors, make Paul Bearers
Of their friends and families
Mark their stones and homes with "R.I.P"s
And make them all deep-buried bodies
Words just cast a spell over your body
And you ain't even know
I put a spell on you
And you and you and all your ancestors, too
Yeah, goddamn it
I put a spell on you
And you and you and all your ancestors, too

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
