    One approach:

    Use the wiggle expression with each parameter linked to an expression slider (one for frequency, one for value). In other words—add effect>expressions>slider to the layer twice. Option/alt click the stopwatch. In the expression field, type :

    wiggle(X,Y)
    where it says X above, pickwhip your first slider (this is frequency).
    where it says Y above, pickwhip your second slider (this is value).

    Keyframe the values of the two sliders ramping up over the time period you want. Then apply a shatter effect or a particle effect when you need the text to explode.
