## Official description

**“Shook Ones. Pt. II”** by **Mobb Deep** hails from the group's 1995 album *The Infamous* where it served as the lead single. Mobb Deep originated in New York, New York and rose to fame becoming one of the most successful Hip-Hop duos of all time having sold over 3 million records worldwide. This track has made its mark on popular culture having been sampled by world class acts and featured in blockbuster films.

The song was honored by Pitchfork Media with a top 25 spot on their list of *Top 200 Tracks of the 90s,* and *Rolling Stone* helped cement its legacy with a spot on the *Top 50 Greatest Hip-Hop Songs of All Time.* The song is a moving original work that pays homage to some legendary jazz tracks setting a complex and effective musical foundation.

The lead vocal disc boasts a distinctive lyrical style that has the potential for impressive emotional impact when blended with contrasting genres. The sample on the lead instrument disc maintains a near industrial style that has strong potential for Dance or EDM mixes. The resonant bass is sparse and lays a solid base for the rest of the arrangement to shine. The drum disc sustains the 90’s Hip-Hop style of the song as well as contributes to the free and easy nature of the track.

**PART 1**
01 - heard of us, official Queensbridge murderers / The Mobb comes equipped for warfare, beware / Of my
02 - crime family who got 'nough shots to share / For all of those who wanna profile and pose
03 - Rock you in your face, stab your brain with your nose bone / You all alone in these streets, cousin
04 - Every man for they self in this land we be gunnin' / And keep them shook crews runnin', like they supposed to
**PART 2**
05 - They come around, but they never come close to / I can see it inside your face, you're in the
06 - wrong place / Cowards like you just get they whole body laced up / With bullet holes and such
07 - Speak the wrong words, man, and you will get touched / Take these words home and think it through
08 - Or the next rhyme I write might be about you (Son, they shook) / 'Cause ain't no such things as halfway
**PART 3**
09 - crooks / Scared to death, scared to look, they shook / 'Cause ain't no such things as halfway
10 - crooks / Scared to death, scared to look, they shook / 'Cause ain't no such things as halfway
11 - crooks / Scared to death, scared to look, they shook / 'Cause ain't no such things as halfway
12 - crooks (crooks) / Livin' the life that of diamonds and guns / There's numerous
**PART 4**
13 - ways you can choose to earn funds / So some get shot, locked down, and turn nuns
14 - Cowardly hearts and straight up shook ones, shook ones / He ain't a crook, son
15 - He's just a shook one
16 - I got you stuck off the realness, we be the infamous / You
