[Intro: JAY-Z & (Young Jeezy)]
Uh, uh, uh, uh
H-O-V and M.C. H-O-V Young Jeezy (Yeah)
H-O-V and M.C. H-O-V Young Jeezy
I know you all see how it's going down
The best in the business, baby
Live from the Oval Office
Let's get it!
[Verse 1: JAY-Z]
Ladies and gentleman, it's HOV
Break up is imminent, I know
What's the sense of putting it off till tomorrow?
Pretending it ain't gonna end, let's roll
Gotta move, baby, know it's hella hard
You've gotta find your groove, baby, like Stell-in-a
That ain't you, baby, got to let her do what it do, baby
Shed a tear or two, but don't get too crazy, baby
Why are you behaving like it ain't other fish in the fish bowl?
For the disco, nigga, let's go
The Emancipation of M-I-M-I, I spray ra-mus? Rah-rah
Twenty worldwide nigga get your plaques
Guess who the fuck got his swagger back
Shake 'em all, uh, shake 'em all, uh
G4's and all we take off, uh, we flawless, mister
I'm the boss, El Presidente, caliente
Call me the other dog, so fuck all y'all
The boy is back, along with the voice is back
M.C., shake 'em off
[Verse 2: Mariah Carey]
(Shake you off)
By the time you get this message, it's gonna be too late
So don't bother paging me 'cause I'll be on my way
See, I grabbed all my diamonds and clothes
Just ask your momma she knows
You're gonna miss me, baby
Hate to say I told you so
Well, at first I didn't know, but now it's clear to me
You would cheat with all your freaks and lie compulsively
So I packed up my Louis Vuitton
Jumped in your ride and took off
You'll never ever find a girl who loves you more than me
[Chorus] fix
(I gotta shake you off)
'Cause the loving ain't the same and you keep on playing games
Like you know I'm here to stay
(I gotta shake, shake you off)
Just like the Calgon commercial, I
Really gotta get up outta here
And go somewhere
(I gotta shake you off)
Gotta make that move
Find somebody who
Appreciates all the love I give
Boy, I gotta (I gotta shake, shake you off)
Gotta do what's best for me
Baby, and that means I gotta
(Shake you off)
[Post-Chorus: Mariah Carey & Jermaine Dupri]
Watch this
(I gotta) Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it off
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it off
(I'm gonna shake it off)
What it look like
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it off
Shake, shake, shake, shake, shake it off

[Bridge: Young Jeezy]
Yeah, you all ready know what it is, man
A-Town's finest! What's crackin', M.C.?
Young HOV, what's good, baby? Eh-eh
Let's get it!
[Verse 3: Young Jeezy]
Make me imagine that (That)
For real, playgirl, like I'm having that (hey)
Bronze on my tip, can't shake 'em off
Take her to the crib, then I break 'em off
Wan'be on my team 'cause she know that I'm a winner
Drink Cris out the bottle, eat Popeye's for dinner
Left the coupe at the crib, scooped her up in the Chevy (Chevy)
Got the top down and the bass beatin' heavy
See, he-he spoils you, me, I ignore ya (Yeah, ayy)
Sh-shake ya off, don't answer ya phone calls (Nope)
You say I'm trippin', but me, I call it tough love (Love)
So tell your friends you're in love with a straight thug
You're either in or out, what's happenin' with you, honey? (Honey)
Young Snowman chase nothin' but some money
[Verse 4: Mariah Carey]
I found out about a gang of your dirty little deeds
With this one and that one by the pool
On the beach, in the streets
Heard y'all was
Hold up, my phone's breakin' up
I'mma hang up and call the machine right back
I gotta get this off of my mind
You wasn't worth my time
So I'm leaving you behind
Yeah, 'cause I need a real love in my life
Save this recording because
I'm never coming back home
Baby, I'm gone, don't ya know?
[Chorus: Mariah Carey]
(I gotta shake you off)
'Cause the loving ain't the same and you keep on playing games
Like you know I'm here to stay
