About Shei Atkins Biography “I got shot one time/in my back with a nine/bullet came right out/man I promise I ain’t lyin’/I got the scar to prove it/fought the war to do this/got to let the world know that God brought me through this” ‘I got shot’ The Lita Mae Show That simple refrain from the third cut of Shei Atkins’ sophomore effort, 2006’s ‘The Lita Mae Show,’ tells you everything you need to know about the Grammy nominated R&B songstress whose, soulful style and straightforward, honest lyrics have made her a favorite among gospel and secular music fans alike. Born and raised in Houston’s notorious Acres Homes area, once considered to be the largest unincorporated African American community in the South, and a haven for drugs and crime during the ’80s and ’90s Atkins, 25, was subjected to many hardships early in life. It was, however, being robbed of her innocence by a bullet at the tender age of 13 as she describes in the lyrics of ‘I got shot’ that became the catalyst for her transformation from a talented but undisciplined neophyte into the vocal tour-de-force Atkins represents today. “I was a disobedient kid in the wrong place at the wrong time,” she says, summing up the seminal event, which would never have taken place if she had followed her Mother’s admonitions not to go to a party she wanted to attend. “It changed my life because it surviving the attack let me know that God has a purpose for me.” That purpose according to Shei is her music: A medium she uses not only to spread His word but to share the stories of her own triumphs, failures and suffering; connecting with her fans on a much more personal level than much of the formulaic ‘MTV-Ready’ fare currently dominating the racks. The Future With two award-winning albums in the bag, Atkins isn’t taking time off to enjoy her success. Between touring and performing all over the country with the likes of Kirk Franklin, Fred Hammond, Tonex, J.Moss, Avant and her idol Mary J. Blige, Atkins has found time to get back to the studio and is already hard at work on her next album, tentatively title “Girl Talk,” scheduled to be released in 2007. Covering topics as diverse as depression and rape, Shei describes the project as an “empowerment record.” We as women go through so much, I wanted to talk about It," says Shei, who feels her trials and tribulations as a youth and young marriage give her credibility when talking about relationships and other hardships women face. “Marriage, love life, relationships things that you deal with everyday. This album is more for the ladies.”

Story behind the song
It is a motivational song, to let you know that the hater's can't stop what God has planned for your life. Keep following God's path and nothing can stop you. Just Pop your roof and let your 5th wheel (i.e. the dummy wheel on the back of the trunk) hang and your 84's ( i.e. a type of rim that came out in 1984) and vogues ( i.e. a type of tire) swang..
Lyrics
1st verse I remember when, way back then, when they was hatin' didn't understand. Couldn't see the vision, wouldn't see the plan, now my #1 haters are my #1 Fans.. Bridge They be like Shei what it do, it's what they say when they see me come through Now the boys try to halla, cause i'm flipin' in something new Pop the top and that roof go poof , but I remember way back in school.. They was trippin' cause i wasn't so cool. Now the see me and i chunk tha duce.. Cause my Chrous 'Trunk Bangin' 5th hangin, Trunk Bangin ' 5th hangin, trunkbangin' 5th hangin, 84's and vogues swangin.. 2nd Verse It's the Ghetto Princess and I represent the south, where dem boyz down here keep them diamonds in they mouth. They said I wound'nt make it, they said i was too hood now they say "I knew you'd make it" cause they see me doing good.. They be like Shei what it do, it's what they say when they see me come through Now the boys try to halla, cause i'm flipin' in something new Pop the top and that roof go poof , but I remember way back in school.. They was trippin' cause i wasn't cool. Now the see me and i chunk tha duce.. Cause my Chrous 'Trunk Bangin' 5th hangin, Trunk Bangin ' 5th hangin, trunkbangin' 5th hangin, 84's and vogues swangin.. Lil Flip Rap verse My Trunk Bangin like my homies from the west coast (repeat) 12 years in the game and I'm still in it. 2 record deals gone bad but I'm still winning. My 84's spining, My windows tented, and the Candy paint you can see your face in it.. You know I'm #1, and where I'm comin' from The Clover, d.. d.. The Clover.. I lane change and grip grain at the same time I'm 20 steps ahead cause we ain't got the same mind See when I make money, I put away half then I take 3% and go buy a slab (i.e. car) My trunk poped up, My roof horizontal You think you ballin' cause you got a lil fo' runner You can't do it like the #1 fly boy My trunk bangin and I'm Jamin' do or die boy... Chrous 'Trunk Bangin' 5th hangin, Trunk Bangin ' 5th hangin, trunkbangin' 5th hangin, 84's and vogues swangin..
