Shakedown Lyrics by Michael Monroe

Not Fakin’ It

0

Turn it up
Throw it down
Make it loud
Look around
Feel it up
Turn it down
Fire up
Cool it now
Smoke it up
Spit it out
Drive it hard
To the ground
Kick it good
Make it Bleed
'Til you get
What you need

It's a Shakedown
Better stand your ground
Or it'll turn you 'round
It's a Shakedown

Tear it up
Blow it up
Rip it up
Make it up
Wake it up
Shake it up
Just Don't ever
Interrupt
Dope it up
Rope it up
Slip it up
Slide it in
Won't give up
'Til you give in

It's a Shakedown
It's the real lowdown
It's all over town
It's a Shakedown

Doesn't it hurt so good
Doesn't feel too bad
If you want more and more
Go ahead take all you can have
When it gets this rough
Lord, you can't get enough
Can't fake it
Forsake it
Better get it 'fore it get you

Break it up
Let it be
Take it home
Make it scream
Make it work
Lick it clean
Grind it up
Nice and lean
Make it shine
Watch it dance
Sweet sweat
Leather pants
White wine
Cigarettes
Things you might
Live to regret

It's a Shakedown
Better stand your ground
Or it'll turn you 'round
It's a Shakedown
