Spotlight

[Hook]:
Spotlight spotlight spotlight
Put that spotlight down on me
Everybody see that I'm shining
Never struggling
Spotlight spotlight spotlight
Living my life in the beam
Under a microscope examining
Judging whatever it is , I am doing (x2)
-------------------------------------------
Tell me, what to choose
Pick incorrect and I might lose
I want my cake and to eat it too
Struggle to focus on what to do
And I never was a fan of mismatchin'
And I'm Stuck in between two passions
Yeah, I don't know what I'm doing
But I know what I am losing
It’s an identity crisis - I wish I was psychic
Need to gaze into the future
So I could make a plan - And mighty i’d stand
wouldn’t be feelin' like a loser
When you grow up in the center of
Attention it makes you better
But im feeling vulnerable
And I think I might crumble
OH!
[Hook]
-------------------------------------------
Never was asked just told what to do
Focus on me, never focus on you
Don't care about your goals or about your dreams
Lived that way too long and I wanted to scream
Now they trying to live vicariously,
it's embarrassing
And, ha, honestly
I ain't got shit to give, but my will to live
rejection to face, a dream to chase
Ever stop to think to give consideration?
About your moderation?
On my dedication
To my skills and placement
To the things I'm facing
And runnin' away from
Let's sit and face it
It's you.
I'm running away from. You.
Running towards that spot light!
----
[Hook]
---
And now, Twilly got the skills to pay her bills
I'm expensive, no cheap thrills
My passion in the day, paves the way
So music I can play while bills get paid
Yeah I can switch, Nintendo
But I aint playin' games
Wearing a mask when makin' dinero
The only way to stay sane
I aint fuckin' around, but I can play the game
Yeah I can set the stage, make you scream my name
And you’ll comprehend, and you’ll understand
That this my life, both of my passions
And if I gotta work work that double time
So I can draw some shit and I can spit a rhyme
Then bitch, I’m on my grind, call me super fly
Cause at the end of the day you can’t deny
That i’m the hardest working bitch that you ever met
Stomped on, told no, but I haven’t quit yet
I’m like water, my friend, i’ll push through til the end
My dreams comin' true lemme say that again
When you tried to say that Twilly can’t
you tried to say they’ll find a replacement
But I never failed, so you better embrace that
My dreams are coming true so explain that
--
Cat got your tongue?
You can’t speak
You too weak
Twilly haxxor leet
She can’t be beat
Throw the white flag and retreat
If you diggin what i’m sayin then send me a tweet (x2)

Ladies and Gentlemen
It’s been brought to my attention
That when I'm up here rapping on stage
People like to think that Beckys my name
UHHH, The name’s Twill, bitch
Oh have we’ve met?
I tend to forget when you’re when you’re complacent
A Lil bitch like you who is full of regret
after giving me a backhanded compliment
see you in the crowd, reciting my own lyrics
when I tell you who wrote it, you don’t wanna hear it
askin if my bandmates wrote for me
Bitch, Twilly on the lyrics, hook, and even on the beat.
AHHH
The looks I get are really funny
people never wanna seem to believe me
Like I'm lying and lacking credibility
When I tell them the rapper on the track is me
[[Heyyy thicc girls we can get it too
Stop starin at me as if I was in the zoo
Egg on your face and you still acting rude
While you have crossed over in to…
The Becky Zone.
Yeah we in The Becky Zone.
The Becky Zone
Yeah welcome to the Becky Zone]]
dimension vast like space, timeless as infinity.
That's your brain,Lack of intelligence, affinity
If you can’t seem to comprehend what I'm all about
I’ll stare at you in disbelief as I chew it out
My artistry, powerful, glass ceilings breaking
My rhymes intoxicatin’ and now I got you cravin’
Gotcha thoughts racing, bout us fornicatin
im on the stage and you’re just in the crowd, aye!
I'm a full time artist, soon I'm gonna chart bitch
Gonna go on tour so yeah just cop this
Shake my fat ass,and now I gotchu watching
So for the love of fuck can you stop doubting
The greatness of twillysk8z, no debate, I'm in your face
Ya get irate, you start to shake, I'm showing up all in your space
Heads turn, walking in a place don't matter what the case
by the time that I'm done people loving me and you irate
[[Heyyy thicc girls we can get it too
Stop starin at me as if I was in the zoo
Egg on your face and you still acting rude
While you have crossed over in to…
The Becky Zone.
Yeah we in The Becky Zone.
The Becky Zone
Yeah welcome to the Becky Zone]]
If you deny my greatness,I’ll put you to pasture
Yeah, When you doubt me it’s a disaster
aint riding their coattails, here are the details
Here is the story as far as it entails
spitting fast and furious, finger on the trigger
Twilly breaks the internet, she keeps on getting bigger
Selling albumz doing showz feelin like the winner
Cause i'm in the wreck the system with me and myyyyy
woooowww… Did you really think I was gonna say that word? Rude.

Snake Chase
04:37
|

(( I am always being chased by the snakes
Chased by the snakes in my dream
When I am being chased by the snakes
Kinda feels like its reality ))
It feels like I'm running and i’m Picking up everything along the way
And It feels like, I’m gonna crash and burn, then I’m gonna pay
The ultimate price, the biggest sacrifice, That everyone needs
I feel like I’m drowning, its being torn away, From me, my sanity.
Nobody believes me, they say it’s all in my head
I’m suffocating, will I end up dead?
Is there a doctor in the audience who’ll listen to me?
Run a system check, plug me in to machines.
(( I am always being chased by the snakes
Chased by the snakes in my dream
When I am being chased by the snakes
Kinda feels like its reality ))
~~ I think I need pills, I need a shrink
It’s my life, don’t tell me what to think
Tell me why it’s all about you
embarrassed on an outdated taboo ~~
You treat me like a robot, expectation perfection
You tend to ignore my heart and my human complexion
You claim that it’s some sick joke and a form of rebellion
You fight me, while I fight myself, and this murky reflection
Deflection, deflection, this can’t be depression
That would mean you’re not perfect, and I can’t handle it
Rejection, rejection, oh, what’s the obsession?
If it’s not about me, then it’s all about you, is that your confession?
~~ I think I need pills, I need a shrink
It’s my life, don’t tell me what to think
Tell me why it’s all about you
embarrassed on an outdated taboo ~~
[ Heavy heavy, breathing breathing,
Is, this real am I dreaming?
Am I drowning, Who is Screaming?
Why, are the lights so gleaming?
Everybody staring at me
And, I don’t know what to do
Close my eyes just for a second
Cause, cause I just might lose ]
(( I am always being chased by the snakes
Chased by the snakes in my dream
When I am being chased by the snakes
Kinda feels like its reality ))
[ Heavy heavy, breathing breathing,
Is, this real am I dreaming?
Am I drowning, Who is Screaming?
Why, are the lights so gleaming?
Everybody staring at me
And, I don’t know what to do
Close my eyes just for a second
Cause, cause I just might lose
Losing losing losing, my grip
My, grip on reality
It starts to feel like suffocation
Am, i really breathing?
Logic logic, no more logic
I, can’t think straight any more
Is this blood rushing to my head
Or, more pounding on the door?
Just get a grip, just get your grip
It’s, all inside your brain
You’re doing this for attention
Is, what they’ll always say
I’m on to you, i’m on to you
And, and your silly game
I promise that i’m being good
An, xiety is to blame
Heavy heavy, breathing breathing,
Is, this real am I dreaming?
Am I drowning, Who is Screaming?
Why, are the lights so gleaming?
Everybody staring at me
And, I don’t know what to do
Close my eyes just for a second
Cause, cause I just might lose
Losing losing losing, my grip
My, grip on reality
It starts to feel like suffocation
Am, i really breathing?
Logic logic, no more logic
I, can’t think straight any more
Is this blood rushing to my head
Or, more pounding on the door?]
How I long, I long to be free
Free from my anxiety
No chains or restraints to hold on to me
I wanna live, I wanna breathe
How I dream, I dream to be free
From the nightmare named anxiety
The ruse my brain plays on me
I’ll fight you for eternity

(Tough like leather
Smooth like lace
Feel like a warrior
With the paint upon my face)
Biiiiitch, be shook
Walked past your man, and yeah he looked
My eyeliner so sharp, yeah it gonna cut ya
Paint on the face, my mask, it’s a persona
Cause I'm strong like the warrior
But if you look deep inside I got a soft interior
Cause online they be callin me aunty
But im about to birth a scene, you can call me mommy
Now, i’m Tough like leather,
Smoothe like lace
I feel like a warrior
With the paint upon my face
But sometimes, feels like a facade…
sometimes im so direct you could call me Farage.
Sometimes I look like a mess, straight up garbage
Put on a fake voice, like I’m Nicki Minaj
All society wants is a perfect mirage
So here’s a pop diva with lexicon
[[ I just want to be
Me-me-me-me
Finally free
And feeling so…. x2
Oh, oh, here I go
I’ll follow this road
So I can go home
I am so done, being alone
I, I, I, Wanna Feel.
I. Want. To. Know.
Who. Set. These. Goals.]]

Always tryna be the bitch liftin’ other shorties up
But bitch, its time for you to go
Bitch please I got way too much on my mind,
To be thinkin bout yo dumb ass all of the time,

You can kick rocks, slip, and hit bricks when you trip,
Clearly you a self conscious ass trick,
My folks ain’t gotta worry cause I’m legit,
I ain't got no time for your chit chat
Now you actin like a boy where your dick at
Thinkin that you wise with a clapback
Ho, your money and your boy I'mma snatch that (oh!)
Silly lil pawns, think they walking with the queens
Asking for favors, asking for all the things
But in the end, you know how it be
Only one bitch here is the reigning supreme

[[We on that 7th avenue, hoo hoo,
That NYC NOIR
Hey superstar, call me super star
We on that avenue, hoo hoo
That NYC Noir
Hey Superstar, call me super star]]
Groovin on down 7th avenue,
Lookin so cool in that stuntin new new
In the city thats known, always known to chew You up
and spit you out too
Lights Flashing, It’s a disco ball
Life’s so grand, when you’re standing tall
if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere
But there's a loss to gain, don’t call it unfair
Pearls and Chains, got my bow on
Ready to riot, til the break of dawn
(We’re standing at the center of the earth)
(Drowning in glamour as if it equates our worth)
So glad to see the streets that are gilded
With any and everyone’s dreams
But in a city that can make or break you
Tell me what does it mean?
[[We on that 7th avenue, hoo hoo,
That NYC NOIR
Hey superstar, call me super star
We on that avenue, hoo hoo
That NYC Noir
Hey Superstar, call me super star]]
I'm on that 37th Avenue
In Queens with a clean Manhattan view
Watching heads bobbing, started from the bottom
Got 'em all on a swivel when I'm passing through
Gotta take my time 'cause I'm pretty when I'm walking
Looking like a dime a dozen in the city when I'm rocking
Black shoes, black jacket, black tie, black skinny jeans
Black hat, all black, all the time, everything
Any means necessary, green stationary
Talk to the glove, leave a message with my secretary
Class is a costume, I'm putting it on
Like a bag on Canal Street, Vouis Luitton
I'm on a meteoric rise that I'm faking till I take it
Walk a red carpet made out of those who didn't make it
Anybody in between me and that brass ring
I'm throwing under a bus, the M116
[[We on that 7th avenue, hoo hoo,
That NYC NOIR
Hey superstar, call me super star
We on that avenue, hoo hoo
That NYC Noir
Hey Superstar, call me super star]]
The Underground society
They build the world for you and me
Grinding hard, beneath our feet
They paint the sky, they carve our streets
(Oh, lifes unfair
Oh, tell me, do you care?)
[[We on that 7th avenue, hoo hoo,
That NYC NOIR
Hey superstar, call me super star
We on that avenue, hoo hoo
That NYC Noir
Hey Superstar, call me super star]]

Hook
Thievin, Thievin, Thievin, yeah you nothin but a thief
You been sneakin, sneakin, sneakin tryna sneak one over me
Best believe it, leave it, leave it, now what is this we read?
You’re nothin but a sell out, cause your soul was for a fee
(x2)
Ha!
Go ahead, roll the dice
What’s the result, what was the price?
Glad to know the worth, of dignity and pride
Was the cost of nickels, the cost of dimes
Guess what? You got it for free.
Are you proud of yourself?
I wasn’t kidding when I said pay!
Now you'll pay the ultimate price (your health!) (ZAP)
It didn’t take me minutes to make this, it took me years of hard work
I’m an artist at heart, I’ve got pride and self worth
You wanna be the jerk and Ignore all the hurt
Cause you got profit on the mind, I see it in your twisted smirk
I don’t understand faux boss types
Spendin so much time to pick who they like
Just so you can take the creative type
To feed them bullshit and a faux hype
Push them in a box, force conformity
But individual at heart, is the anomaly
Claim glamour and gains, in the big city
industry rapes , and it’s fucking shitty. (AHH)
Thievin, Thievin, Thievin, yeah you nothin but a thief
You been sneakin, sneakin, sneakin tryna sneak one over me
Best believe it, leave it, leave it, oh - what is this we read?
You’re nothin but a sell out, cause your soul was for a fee
(x2)
Thievin' thievin' thievin'
In the darkest of night/
These demons can smell you bleeding
So watch these sharks when they bite/
Blood is thicker than water
QBut they slicker than oil/
Have you believing you family
Then make off with your spoils/
Promise of watches, bracelets
And lavish vacations/
While they rope you into doing dirt
Way past the grave shift/
"Just look at all this money that
We could be making!"/
So many dates and holidays stolen
Along with inspiration/
I still find it depressing
Cuz my time's of the essence/
Yet they sap it away
Let it evaporate by the second/
Even when we in agreement
Just to cut me some slack/
How do I keep trusting these snakes
Expect 'em not to attack?/
Don't fix your forked silver tongue
To apologize for shit you've done/
When you just rinse and repeat
All the sins that you keep
Committin' just for funds/
Y'all never see karma coming
Like a thief in the night/
Cuz what you do in the shadows
Will soon be brought to the LIGHT/
(Sleep tiiiight)
Thievin, Thievin, Thievin, yeah you nothin but a thief
You been sneakin, sneakin, sneakin tryna sneak one over me
Best believe it, leave it, leave it, oh - what is this we read?
You’re nothin but a sell out, cause your soul was for a fee

Nightmare Ft. Lex Lingo

What - do you do?
When all of your dreams come true?
But you're still livin a nightmare?
Please tell me -
What, do you do?
When all of your dreams fall through,
but you're still standin' right there...
Like everything happened so fast
I’m just getting scared that I’ll crash
Like this is everything i wanted
Why do i feel like i am empty
House is haunted
Like lately I’ve been at my strongest
But something’s missing if I’m honest
I always tell my girl there’s peaks and valleys
And I’ve had some ups and downs but i ain’t keeping tally’s
I’m the type to rally
But I’m running from my fears
and
now it’s pretty clear
i don’t know where to go from here
damn
What - do you do?
When all of your dreams come true?
But you're still livin a nightmare?
Please tell me -
What, do you do?
When all of your dreams fall through,
but you're still standin' right there...
I pull up to the address,
In my best dress, but I confess, I digress
My own thoughts, and my own feelings
Can this really be true, the torment that I’m feeling?
Don’t want to address, or even accept
Because i’ve worked so hard, please don’t forget
I thought I knew what I wanted, and what it meant
Follow this dream, and you’ll find success
But i’m finally here, its not how I dreamed
I’m living a nightmare, I just want to scream
I’ve dug my grave, so I’ll lay in it
Close my eyes just for a minute
Tell me, where do I go from here?
Tell me, How do I reach the clear?
What - do you do?
When all of your dreams come true?
But you're still livin a nightmare?
Please tell me -
What, do you do?
When all of your dreams fall through,
but you're still standin' right there...

INVADER
05:29
|

Outsider, standing on the inside
Rushing for it, all. Of. my. Life.
Finally in, but what to do?
Something familiar but so brand new.
This isn’t what I imagined it would be
Now i’m holding on to myself tightly
I knew there wasn’t a guarantee
That i’d get to play the role of me
I am invader
I am invader
I am invader
The outsider standing on the inside
I am invader
I am invader
I am invader
Myself remaining classified
Preparing, for my own genocide
Wanna escape but my hands are tied
Fading fast, thrown away in a landslide
Somehow creatively nullified
This isn’t what I imagined it would be
Now i’m holding on to myself tightly
I knew there wasn’t a guarantee
That i’d get to play the role of me
I am invader
I am invader
I am invader
The outsider standing on the inside
I am invader
I am invader
I am invader
Myself remaining classified
In the moment of clarity
In the moment when I can see
I’m looking in to the mirror
But my reflection it isn’t me
In the moment when I lose it
In the moment when I quit
I’m standing tall and up for myself
Invade and corrupt, so screw your wealth
I am invader
I am invader
I am invader
The outsider standing on the inside
I am invader
I am invader
I am invader
Myself remaining classified

Gotta keep cool,
Gotta stay calm
(over and over)
Fuck, this shit, this shit is all wrong.
Chorus:
Oh, as long as I can remember
January becomes December
They always say never say never
Always remember, watch your temper
How many times did I-e say so?
Watch your rage and control your ego
cerulean skies or treacherous weather
Always remember, watch your temper
Always remember watch your temper
Always remember, watch your temper!
Twill Verse:
One look at your stupid face
Yeah, that's all that it takes
I feel i’m winding back
I wanna punch you right now
But I know not to snap
I’ve just gotta to relax
Forget the pressure don’t crack
But I don’t know how
One thing for sure that I know
Burning bridges is my show
Dont think I just say lets go
But I know deep down that I
Might need you in future
That fact makes my stomach churn
All I wish I could do is
just fucking make you cry
Chorus:
Oh, as long as I can remember
January becomes December
They always say never say never
Always remember, watch your temper
How many times did I-e say so?
Watch your rage and control your ego
cerulean skies or treacherous weather
Always remember, watch your temper
Always remember watch your temper
Always remember, watch your temper!
Vincente:
How can I speak when i've tried to move
past these transgressions made me who I am?
All I can do is try to move forward
and not look back on what I have.... done
I will never be the same
I refuse to go that far
I won't lose sight of who I am
I will fight to make things right!
Osiris:
All my life i been restraining and controlling
my emotions, containing em from being out in the open
Seen as calm cool and collected
this method I had perfected
that people never expected
and respected my perspective
But then I had to question, this side of me I neglected
my mental state was effected, by lack of my self expression
I made it so, I was afraid to show, all the rage below,
but when u take and hold all of those feelings they may explode
It’s healthy to get it out
liven out,
every minute forbidden from flipping out
but when it’s building the feeling could go through the ceiling
from keeping your anger in prison
Now it has risen
headed for head on collisions
fuck all your rational decisions
show everything that was hidden
they should listened
this here was not my intention
Don’t wanna fight,
don’t wanna yell,
don’t wanna cuss
but fuck how you feel
bout to combust
don’t know how to chill
fuckidty fuck
dammit in hell
hard to tell, I had such a temper underneath
remember, the nicest people have the angriest of beasts
Chorus:
Oh, as long as I can remember
January becomes December
They always say never say never
Always remember, watch your temper
How many times did I-e say so?
Watch your rage and control your ego
cerulean skies or treacherous weather
Always remember, watch your temper
Always remember watch your temper
Always remember, watch your temper!

All heroes? They don’t wear capes
Some wear all black
Let me tell you the story of my hero
It started in oh-ten, let’s go back
To NYC, long city island queens
Get off the metro, can you feel the breeze
By the water side, this place be so bright
It feels serene, it feels so nice
I pass bodegas,
I climb the stairs
Fushigi feelings
I was unaware
Of what that summer held in store for me
This be the start of that story
Sat on the stairs, I scared her
Ah, gomenasai!
Introduced myself as the intern
I looked at her, my senpai
I wanted to design, we shared the same as
sewing phenomenal, she was so authentic
took me under her wing, and straightened me out
Taught me everything, like I had it figured out
The only one person in my life, who really gave me a chance
Understood who I was, didn’t write me off with a glance
Took the moment I needed to hear me out
Listened, comprehended, put me on a route
Took an opportunity, to water the seed
Who turned in to a late bloomer, that flower it was me.
(She’s so genuine)
Can’t explain what you did for me
(she’s so genuine)
I hope I express this properly
(She’s so genuine)
Cause I still feel these feelings
(She’s so genuine)
You’re a hero who saved me.
I was the worst in my class, ultimate disaster
My peers would tease and jest with laughter
And while I tried to take their words in stride
Deep down, it really hurt my pride
felt like my professors didn’t believe in me
Even though I knew they wanted me to succeed
But no one took the time to really explain
So I could fully grasp and put this knowledge in my brain
It was the first time I needed baby steps
It didn't come naturally but I couldn’t admit
Because unlike music and illustration
My sewing sucked, what was my malfunction
I could draw and design until the cows came home
And sew late until dawn, in the lab all alone
But when I was finished, all I could do was groan
My clothing was garbage, and that's where it was thrown.
She said,
Stop. Listen to me.
Because I really really really want you to succeed.
But if you don’t take the time to do things right
You’re never gonna make it, it’ll always be a fight
And you owe it to yourself and creativity
To execute designs, flawlessly
So I’m gonna break it down for you and make it easy
I see that you’re struggling and you really need me
(She’s so genuine)
Can’t explain what you did for me
(she’s so genuine)
I hope I can express this properly
(She’s so genuine)
Cause I still feel these feelings
(She’s so genuine)
You’re a hero who saved me.
A summer of rules, was a summer of fun
When I went back to school, I was number one
The kids who had always poked fun at me
Now needed my advice when it came to sewing
She taught me step by step
Rule by rule
Gave me the information
Taught me the tools
How to help myself, to better understand
And even now I use the steps to formulate a plan
(slow)
Her lessons were not just about sewing
I applied them to my life, we call that growing
And now I can’t contain my smile it’s showing
Because of you, my heart, it is glowing
I hope I make you proud
I hope you see me from a far
To me I still aim to be like you
You’re a shining star
In the darkest part of my life
When it was all falling apart
You saw me, grabbed me by the hand
Appreciated my art
So please know even now if I’m not in fashion
Your life lessons impacted me in the biggest margin
You may have always called me imouto-penguin
But to me you’ll always be my sewing onee-chan
(She’s so genuine….)

They say it's mind over matter
But what matters is on my mind
Even if you’re flawless
With the perfect behind
in the end what it ends up breaking down for me
Is you gotta learn to love yourself and your inna beauty
Ha! Who are you, can you tell me?
The true meaning of you, quintessentially
If I strip you down
And get to know your soul
Are you someone I would keep
Or want to leave alone?
[[ Yeah, I see you, you got the heart of a lion
But you, got the brains, that you can rely on
And, I - see you’ve got both, beauty and brawn
You’re a natural, stand up proud, and keep on walking tall
Ha!
Ha!
Ha!
Keep on walking tall, and tell em all
I’m the warrior
I’m a weapon
My beauty
Is a strength that lies within
I’m the warrior
I’m a weapon
My beauty
Is a strength that lies within ]]
(nah nah nah~)
Now now now,
This life can be lonely and make you feel undeserved
Making you question your self worth
And There isn’t a quick fix to get you out of it
You’ve gotta recognize, persevere, never quit
Use your wits about you, cunning sharp like a knife
Beauty aint forever, so use it right
Never stop listening to your inner voice
That says you've got one life so you gotta make a choice
[[ Yeah, I see you, you got the heart of a lion
But you, got the brains, that you can rely on
And, I - see you’ve got both, beauty and brawn
You’re a natural, stand up proud, and keep on walking tall
Ha!
Ha!
Ha!
Keep on walking tall, and tell em all
I’m the warrior
I’m a weapon
My beauty
Is a strength that lies within
I’m the warrior
I’m a weapon
My beauty
Is a strength that lies within ]]
(My beauty is a weapon)
(We’re all outsiders on the inside)

If it’s one thing I can’t stand, its a gate keeper
Go stan on yourself, be a meat beater
Cause when i’m feelin down, and Im feelin blue
I flip my garnet hair and put on dancin shoes
Now my momma taught me one thing, it’s how to have fun
She taught me when to care, and when to have none
Taught me how to throw a party, a real shin-dig
How to handle myself when i’m feelin a WIG
Yeah i’m a hot mess, but I’ll always embrace it
At the end of the day, when it’s just me, let’s face it
I got my dreams and ambitions, so i’ll always chaze it
So zip up that lip, simmer down now , okay, kid?
On the ground,
Hear them pound
Your feet do the movin, you’re moving now
Oh hands up high
Reach for the sky
Move like we only got one last night
Dont matter who you are, what you is
You’re here to have fun, so forget all the biz
Now grind in that hip area, and
Shake whatcha mama gave ya
Shake, whatcha mama mama gave ya~
I’m on the floor, and I wanna go
Shake that money maker, and lose control
Cause it’s time to let loose and to have some fun
Shake it, shake it, shake whatcha mama gave ya!
Now see...
I can't dance,
But I do it anyway/
Can't tell me nothin,
Soon as the music play/
Lights down, hands up
Take the loot up out the safe/
Dare to go stupid,
The truth will set you free/
If you tryna be seen
I don't mean to trouble you/
Much love to the slimthiccs and BBWs/
All my body types down to party, right?
What it do?/
Break the hell out your shell
Don't you feel wonderful?/
Shake it up,
Earthquake this place up/
Make your twerk faces
Bake dem cakes up/
They sweating like an oven
Cuz you ain't sweating na-da/
What gives you the right?
I get it from my ma-ma!/
On the ground,
Hear them pound
Your feet do the movin, you’re moving now
Oh hands up high
Reach for the sky
Move like we only got one last night
Dont matter who you are, what you is
You’re here to have fun, so forget all the biz
Now grind in that hip area, and
Shake whatcha mama gave ya
Shake, whatcha mama mama gave ya~
I’m on the floor, and I wanna go
Shake that money maker, and lose control
Cause it’s time to let loose and to have some fun
Shake it, shake it, shake whatcha mama gave ya!
This is the part of the song where we let go
Embrace ourselves and let go of all control
This is the part of the song where we get loud
Stand up real tall, hey kids, yeah stand proud
And
….. SHAKE!
Shake whatcha mama gave ya
Shake, whatcha mama mama gave ya~
I’m on the floor, and I wanna go
Shake that money maker, and lose control
Cause it’s time to let loose and to have some fun
Shake it, shake it, shake whatcha mama gave ya!
