Lyrics of 'Shake Down (feat. Mary J. Blige / Terrence Howard)' by Empire Cast

Oh yeah
Baby
Oh, how I wish
I was by your side
Oh yeah

I wanna be all you need baby
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 be your some light

Cause all you need is my love
Telling you what's up
So just make room for love
(It's a shake down, shake down)
I'm robbing you for your 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
(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 existance

And through time my love will stay persistent, boy
All of me is what you getting.
Let the world be the witness.
[Mary j. Blige:]
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?
(It's a shake down, shake down)

Shake down.
I'm robbing you for your love, boy
You robbing me for my love
(It's a shake down, shake down)
Shake down

But you ain't gotta say nothing, oh
(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.

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
To make sure that your love is mines.
All mines
(It's a shake down, shake down)
I'm robbing you for your love
You robbing me for my love
(It's a shake down, shake down)

And you ain't gotta say nothing.
(Shake down, shake down, down)
(Shake down, shake down, down)
[Mary j. Blige:]
Shake down.
(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.
Cause it's a 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.)
Cause it's a shake down.
