Shimmy Lyrics
[Intro: Aminé]
Ah, man, man
Ah, man, man, man, man, man, man, what's up?
Alright, yeah, yeah
[Verse 1: Aminé]
It's been a whole (Limbo), year, my nigga (Yup)
Let's not front, it's my year, my nigga (Woo)
I'm here to fuck up ya whole career, my nigga (True)
Don't play dumb, dummy, you know what's the deal, my nigga
A lot of y'all fake flex, nigga, that is not your necklace
And that whip ain't yours, nigga, that's the IRS's (Go)
I'm bigger than Texas, me and God text message
Y'all see how easy lyin' is, it's easy to forget this
[Chorus: Aminé & Ol' Dirty Bastard]
(Off on a natural charge, bon voyage, yeah)
Shimmy shimmy ya, y'all niggas get no applause (Yeah)
I'm lookin' like wealth, so mami wanna ménage (Yeah)
Y'all niggas really hatin', get off my dick and my balls (Woo, yeah)
[Verse 2: Aminé]
All y'all niggas ain't worthy (Yeah)
Y'all don't pay dues, y'all niggas pay up and thirsty (Yeah)
You thought you made you an anthem, but you just sang you a Fergie (Woo)
Too many niggas bitin', I might need me ten attorneys (Brrp)
Just 'cause you bought that vintage Margiela (Yeah)
Don't change your flight from Spirit to Delta (Yee)
Y'all niggas dress like you just came out the store (True)
I got my groove back like Fela, not Stella (Ayy)
[Chorus: Aminé & Ol' Dirty Bastard]
(Off on a natural charge, bon voyage)
Shimmy shimmy ya, y'all niggas get no applause (Yeah)
I'm lookin' like wealth, so mami wanna ménage (Yeah)
Y'all niggas really hatin', get off my dick and my balls (Oh, woo)
[Verse 3: Aminé]
I got verses on verses, man, this shit could go all day (True)
I got a whip that's blacker than the nigga from Allstate (True)
Count your money up, nigga, do the mathematics (Woo)
That's not 200K, that's twenty dollars in your pocket
It's a cold, cold world that we live in (Yeah)
I'm shittin' on these niggas, I make it my mission (Yeah)
They way I kill these niggas, send my ass to prison (Limbo)
I knock a nigga head off, then I'm dippin' (Yeah), splittin' (Yeah)
[Interlude: Aminé]
Ooh, baby, I like it raw
Ooh, baby, I like it raw
Ooh, baby, I like it raw
Ooh, baby, I like it raw
Ooh, baby, I like it raw
Ooh, baby, I like it raw
Ooh, baby, I like it raw
Ooh, baby, I like it raw
[Chorus: Aminé & Ol' Dirty Bastard]
(Off on a natural charge, bon voyage)
Shi-shimmy shimmy ya, y'all niggas get no applause
I'm lookin' like wealth, so mami wanna ménage
Y'all niggas really hatin', get off my dick and my balls

I did the clean version so money could be involved
What have artists said about the song?
When Boi-1da played me the beat for the first time, ODB’s voice was already in the beat. He had that first bar so I had to try and come in with a way to pay homage, but still create like a new version of this. So there’s basically like three really short verses in “Shimmy”. For the third verse, I wa...
What has Aminé said about the dogs in the music video?
We found all the dogs on craigslist and there was like a bunch of those in Portland, so we’re like ‘bet.’ We had to put the owners of those dogs right behind the camera so the dogs would look directly at the camera.
