Lyrics:
Son, they shook
'Cause ain't no such things as halfway crooks
Scared to death, scared to look, they shook
'Cause ain't no such things as halfway crooks
Scared to death, scared to look
Livin' the life that of diamonds and guns
There's numerous ways you can choose to earn funds
So some get shot, locked down, and turn nuns
Cowardly hearts and straight up shook ones, shook ones
He ain't a crook, son, he's just a shook one
#MobbDeep #ShookOnesPtII #OfficialAudio

It's unbelievable how timeless this whole song is. The beat immediately resonates with whichever generation listens to it, and the lyrics hit just right each damn time.

One of da hardest records ever !! This is the number one freestyle beat Rip to my nigga prodigy man !

[@UNOPUNTOTRECE]

I play this when I feel sad. I step back and sit, think and listen. Preparing myself to be back as always. It worked for decades. I feel blessed to be a bboy.

Everyone says that beat is legendary, but for me it's legendary sequence of lyrics+beat, especially Prodigy's verse. R.I.P

I understand why Marshall chose this as the most important part of the 8 Mile movie. It describes exactly what he was trying to portray. Havoc got the production on this sooooooo right!!! He has created a masterpiece. I have loved it, still love it and always will. Shout out to Quincy for the sample...fiiiiiiiiiirrrrrreeeeee!!!!!!

[@meesc3556]

When the crowd is waiting for Papa Doc to spit, and when he forfeits, the energy in the room as this beat plays is bananas. I wish I could go to an underground rap battle like this. If anyone knows of one in the Tampa or Florida West Coast area, let me know.

[@Dino40917]

This beat will never die...hands down the best beat of all time..
