Lyrics
Verse
Lights out blood on my nails
Boot heels rockin in the cell
Lipstick smudged, but my chin held high
Ain’t nobody here gonna make me cry
They can cage me, but they'll never tame me
I'll drive them to the edge of insanity
Pre-Chorus
Guards watchin close,
but they don’t know what I know
I got the body and a little soul
It's time to take control
Chorus
And do the cellblock shake
Shame,shake cellblock shake
Rattle the floor, make the walls vibrate
Hands in the air, misbehave
Turn bad luck into a jailbreak
Yeah, do the cellblock shake
Shake,shake, do the cellblock shake
From the left to the right, make the jail quake
Might be locked in, but I'll never capitulate
I'll make the walls shake,shake, shake....til I escape
Verse
Steel bars, but I'm on fire
Guards' eyes on me watchin me dip it low,then take it high
They said, “Girl, keep quiet in this place”
I said, “listen to the rhythm in my veins”
Then I turned it up to 10
And started shakin again
Pre-Chorus
Guards watchin close,
but they don’t know what I know
I got the body and a little soul
It's time to take control
Chorus
And do the cellblock shake
Shame,shake cellblock shake
Rattle the floor, make the walls vibrate
Hands in the air, misbehave
Turn bad luck into a jailbreak
Yeah, do the cellblock shake
Shake,shake, do the cellblock shake
From the left to the right, make the jail quake
Might be locked in, but I'll never capitulate
I'll make the walls shake,shake, shake....til I escape
Instrumental Break
Bridge
They can count my days, count my nights
But they can't stop the way I wind
You can chain my hands
But when I get loose, I'll start shakin again
Pre-Chorus
Guards watchin close,
but they don’t know what I know
I got the body and a little soul
It's time to take control
Chorus
And do the cellblock shake
Shame,shake cellblock shake
Rattle the floor, make the walls vibrate
Hands in the air, misbehave
Turn bad luck into a jailbreak
Yeah, do the cellblock shake
Shake,shake, do the cellblock shake
From the left to the right, make the jail quake
Might be locked in, but I'll never capitulate
I'll make the walls shake,shake, shake....til I escape
