Lyrics Shake Down - Mary J. Blige , Terrence Howard , Empire Cast

Oh, how I wish I was by your side.
(Oh yeah yeah, oh ho ho ho ho ho)
And I want you to be my superwoman.
(Boy, I will be your friend forever)
Well, gone and leave me that heart and you can get mine.
(I'm gonna be your baby tonight
If you're in the dark I'll give you some light)
'Cause all you need is my love.
I'm tell you what's up.
So just make room for love.
She's robbing me for my love.
(It's a shake down, shake down) Shakedown
Boy, you ain't gotta say nothing.
Well, baby put your hands up cause it's a
(Shake down, shake down, down) Shake down.
(Shake down, shake down, down)
(Shake down, shake down, down)
(Shake down, shake down)
I'm robbing you for your love.
Girl, I wanna share my existence.
(And through time my love will stay persistent, boy)
All of me is what you getting.
Let the world be the witness.
(Bad times, we'll work it out like fitness or we live it)
'Cause I vow to give you my all.
(Boy, I will hold you up, hold you up if you fall)
I see us in your chamber.
(Your heart's in danger)
I'm taking your love.
(Won't you just give it up?)
I'm robbing you for your love, boy.
Oh, you robbing me for my love.
(It's a shake down, shake down, down)
But you ain't gotta say nothing, oh.
(It's a shake down, shake down, down)
(Shake down, shake down, down)
(Shake down, shake down, down)
(Shake down, shake down, down)
If love is the crime, I'm down for it (If love is the crime)
Let love be the judge.
I receive the verdict.
Now, take me baby (Take me)
In your arms (In your arms)
Hold me tight.
Don't put up a fight.
It's a shake down.
Shake down.
Come on baby, get down.
Get down
I'm willing to do some time, baby (Do your time, baby)
To make sure that your love is mine, all mine
I'm robbing you for your love (You're robbing me for my love)
And you ain't gotta say nothing
(Shake down, shake down, down)
(It's a shake down, shake down, down)
Shake down, shake down, down
Shake down, shake down
I'm robbing you for your love.
'Cause it's a shake down, shake down
(Shake down, shake down) Shake down, shake down.
(Baby come bring all your love to me)
(Don't you hesitate baby)
(Don't put up a fight)
('Cause it's a shake down, shake down)
Shake down, shake down.
Oh, it's a shake down
(You're up in the airplane,
Dove on the heart strings,
Don't forget where you been,
Pray to God day,
Make that sound real,
Live about face, later,
They admit to Ethan Wild,
How to shoot like Martin Luther,
Then they shoot ya,
Straight, aim and fire,
Play your cards, retire,
Lock, stock and barrel,
Straight, fast and narrow,
Shakedown forever,
Why, when and whatever)
