The Shake Off

(Intro)

Uh-huh, yeah.

Listen up, Queen.

Don’t let ‘em dim that light.

We’re just getting started.

(Verse)

People gonna hate, yeah,

that’s just how they play

You gotta let ‘em go,

let ‘em drift away

Can’t let the small talk

get under your skin

When you’re playing at a level

they can’t even begin

If you know, you know

—it’s a vibe, it’s a state

They’re only acting salty

‘cause you’re looking so great

You’re a certified ten,

let the rumors fly

While you’re touching the clouds

in a sapphire sky.

(Chorus)

So shake it off,

let the grooving begin

You’re a rising queen,

let the light pour in

Nothing can stop you,

no, nothing at all

You’re standing so steady,

you’re standing so tall

Just let it go,

let the rhythm take flight

You’re the only star

burning this bright.

(Verse 2)

They see you at your best,

shining like a stone

Trying to pull you down

from your rightful throne

But you’re at your peak,

yeah, you’re hitting your stride

With the power of the universe

tucked deep inside

Don’t ever stop,

don’t you ever give in

Every single hurdle

is a chance for a win

Let it all show,

let the whole world see

Exactly who you were

always meant to be.

(Chorus)

So shake it off,

let the grooving begin

You’re a rising queen,

let the light pour in

Nothing can stop you,

no, nothing at all

You’re standing so steady,

you’re standing so tall

Just let it go,

let the rhythm take flight

You’re the only star

burning this bright.

(Bridge)

(Music strips back to a driving drum beat)

Don’t ever stop,

don’t ever quit

You got the fire,

you’re the spirit of it

Don’t ever stop,

don’t ever quit

Beautiful Queen,

yeah, this is it

Keep going,

keep moving,

keep pushing through

There ain’t nobody

doing it quite like you.

(Guitar/Synth Solo - Upbeat)

(Chorus)

So shake it off, (shake it off)

let the grooving begin

You’re a rising queen, (rising queen)

let the light pour in

Nothing can stop you, (nope)

no, nothing at all

You’re standing so steady,

you’re standing so tall

Just let it go, (let it go)

let the rhythm take flight

You’re the only star

burning this bright (bright-bright-bright-bri-i-i-ght)

(Outro)

(Fading synth melody)

Just keep going.

You got this.

Don’t you ever stop.

Stay royal.

(Silence)
