"Shakey Dog" by Ghostface Killah is a story-driven song that tells the tale of a violent encounter and its aftermath. The song follows two individuals, Ghostface Killah (referred to as "Tone") and Raekwon, who are involved in a dangerous situation. They are dealing with the consequences of a murder committed by a woman named Lolita. The song begins with Ghostface Killah driving through a foggy area, witnessing several bodies and suspecting that the crimes were carried out by a male. However, he learns that a Spanish woman named Lolita was behind the killings and is known for her affinity for women. Ghostface receives a call to go to a shop, where he meets Raekwon. Raekwon reveals that he had received a call about Lolita's victims, including someone close to them. The person killed was a Latin man, which leads Raekwon to suspect that she was seeking revenge for the Latin man's actions against her relative. The two discuss the events while Raekwon is at a hotel with a woman named Charene. Suddenly, a shot rings out, hitting Raekwon's friend. Ghostface notices Lolita and witnesses her shooting at them. They exchange gunfire, and in the chaos, Ghostface gets shot in the leg. As they fight back, they realize that Lolita is not alone and that she has four other women with her. Ghostface and Raekwon continue to shoot back at them, with Raekwon getting hit again, this time in the breast. Ghostface's jewelry makes a loud noise as he moves, attracting Lolita's attention. Lolita shoots at them relentlessly, likening her shooting spree to an act of payment or revenge. During the intense altercation, Ghostface reflects on his reputation and the fact that he has killed three people on Staten Island. He taunts Lolita and her crew, inviting them to come face him. The song ends with the police closing in on Ghostface and Raekwon, urging them to drop their weapons. Despite the danger they face, Ghostface refuses to surrender and expresses love for Raekwon, his children, and his partner. He declares that he will not go to jail and defiantly challenges the authorities before the song concludes.
