[Ali Vegas]
6
The streets'll do whatever just to see me fail
7
Mama'll do whatever to keep free from jail
8
So she tellin' me to get my CDL
9
But papi said he got some things that we could sell
10
To turn the corner and to see VVS's
11
He said you liked girls to get beneath their dresses
12
You gon' need them SS's, VVS's, BBS's
13
Here go the keys to the Lexus (Uh-oh-oh)
14
Now I'm the center of attention like Kareem and them
15
My squad run around the borough like we Prem' and them
16
My gang with big truck, wifey's we beamin' them
17
Let's Esco, that tag team from Queens again
18
This is Shakedown, here go the breakdown
19
The big boys are back; 'lil niggaz get off the playground
20
I got up with the homey A now
21
The kid babies 'bout to make the Earth quake now
22
[Chorus: Akon (Nas)]
23
Uh-oh-oh, we back now
24
A bunch of gangsters strapped so make a way now
25
When they come wavin' them gats you know the lay down (Lay it down)
26
And give 'em all you got, 'cause it's a shakedown (Shakedown)
27
Uh-oh-oh, (New York to H-Town)
28
We back now (Here we go y'all)
29
A bunch of gangsters strapped so make a way now
30
When they come wavin' them gats you know the lay down
31
(Uh-oh, Nas and Akon, uh-oh, Nas and Akon)
32
And give 'em all you got, 'cause it's a shakedown
33
Uh-oh-oh, (Here we go)
34
[Nas]
35
My man was smart
36
Robbed the bank, buried the cash
37
Did ten years, came home and bought him a Jag
38
Other side of town, stick-up kids ride around
39
Young niggaz not prepared this time around
40
Walk in the jewelry store yellin', "Get on the floor"
41
Snatched the sales lady up, hit her with the bulldog
42
Grabbin' the ice, the heist went fast as the Vice
43
Had rushed in, bussin', could you imagine this life?
44
The streets come alive and laugh at your sorrows
45
Leavin' your soul hollow
46
That you fill it back up liquor bottles
47
Black Messiah had the jux, 20 ki's uncooked
48
Easy to push, some Japanese dealers were crooks
49
They leave niggaz eyes cut out; what it means to us
50
He seen too much, but we don't give a fuck
51
Black truck pull up to the door
52
Infa-green night vision lens we can see through the war
53
"Get on the floor"
54
[Chorus: Akon]
55
We back now
56
A bunch of gangsters strapped so make a way now
57
When they come wavin' them gats you know the lay down
58
And give 'em all you got, 'cause it's a shakedown
59
Uh-oh-oh
60
Do I make myself clear, uh-oh-oh
