Lyrics

[Chorus]
Ooh, baby, I like it raw
Yeah, baby, I like it raw
Ooh, baby, I like it raw
Yeah, baby, I like it raw
[Verse 1]
Shimmy shimmy ya, shimmy yam, shimmy yay
Gimme the mic so I can take it away
Off on a natural charge, bon voyage
Yeah, from the home of the Dodger Brooklyn squad
Wu-Tang killer bees on the swarm
Rain on your college-ass disco dorm
For you to even touch my skill
You gotta go through one killer bee
And he aim for the kill now
Chop that down, pass it all around
Lyrics get hard, quick cement to the ground
For any MC in any fifty-two states
I get psycho killer, Norman Bates
My producer slam, my flow is like – bam!
Jump on stage and then I dip down
[Chorus]
Ooh, baby, I like it raw
Yeah, baby, I like it raw
Ooh, baby, I like it raw
Yeah, baby, I like it raw
Ooh, baby, I like it raw
Yeah, baby, I like it raw
Ooh, baby, I like it raw
Yeah, baby, I like it raw
[Verse 2]
Shi-shimmy shimmy ya, shimmy yam, shimmy yay
Gimme the mic so I can take it away
Off on a natural charge, bon voyage
Yeah, from the home of the Dodger Brooklyn squad
Wu-Tang killer bees on the swarm
Rain on your college-ass disco dorm
For you to even touch my skill
You gotta go through one killer bee
And he aim for the kill now
Chop that down, pass it all around
Lyrics get hard, quick cement to the ground
For any MC in any fifty-two states
I get psycho killer, Norman Bates
My producer slam, my flow is like – bam!
Jump on stage and then I dip down
[Outro]
Shi-shimmy shimmy ya, yeah
Shi-shi-shimmy shimmy ya, shimmy yam, shimmy yay
Shi-shimmy shimmy ya, shimmy yam, shimmy yay
Shi-shi-shimmy, shi-shimmy shimmy ya, shimmy yam, shimmy yay
Shi-shimmy, shi-shi-shimmy shimmy ya, shimmy yam, shimmy yay
Gimme the mic so I can take it away
Shimmy shimmy ya
