What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
"Get-get.. get down!"
2
New York streets where killers'll walk like Pistol Pete
3
And Pappy Mason, gave the young boys admiration
4
Prince from Queens and Fritz from Harlem
5
Street legends, the drugs kept the hood from starvin'
6
Pushin' cars, Nicky Barnes was the 70's
7
But there's a long list of high-profile celebrities
8
Worldwide on the thorough side of things
9
Livest kings, some died, one guy, one time
10
One day grabs me, as I'm about to blast heat
11
40-side of Vernon, I turned well he asked me
12
"What you up to, the cops goin' bust you"
13
I was a teen drunk off brew, stumbled I wondered
14
If God sent him, cause two squad cars entered the block
15
And looked at us, I ain't flinch when they watched
16
I took it upstairs, the bathroom mirror, brushed my hair
17
Starin' at a young disciple, I almost gave my life to what the dice do
18
Yeah man, throwin' them bones
19
Hopin my ace get his case thrown
20
His girl ain't wait for him, she in the world straight hoein'
21
While he lookin' at centerfolds of pretty girls
22
Showin' they little cooch, gangstas don't die he's livin' proof
23
The D.A. who tried him was lyin'
24
A white dude, killed his mother durin' the case
25
Hung jury, now the D.A. is bein' replaced
26
Pre-trial hearin' is over, it's real for the soldier
27
Walks in the courtroom, the look in his eyes is wild
28
Triple-homicide, I sit in the back aisle
29
I want to crack a smile when I see him
30
Throw up a fist for black power, cause all we want is his freedom
31
He grabbed a court officer's gun and started squeezin'
32
Then he grabbed the judge, screams out, nobody leavin' everybody
33
[Chorus]
34
"Get down, get down! Get down, get down!" [Repeats]
35
Everybody
36
"Get down, get down! Get down, get down!"
37
[Nas]
38
Some niggas fuck they enemies in they ass when they catch 'em
39
Weird-ass niggas are dangerous, so don't test 'em
40
They make you, disappear, this a year that I won't forget
41
Sold CD's double platinum, met mo' execs
42
Southern niggas, independent label, real killers
43
Know the business, ran Tennessee for years, now they chillin'
44
They had the coke game somethin' crazy
45
Sold music out the trunk of they car, that shit amazed me
46
Put me onto heron blunts, sherm or somethin'
47
Took a puff, what the fuck, I turned to punch them
48
Southern niggaz ain't slow, nigga tried to play me
49
I left from around them dudes, they cool but they crazy
50
Now I'm back around the old school that raised me
51
New York gangstas, we loungin', out in L.A. see
52
A dude wrote my dawg from Pelican Bay
53
The letter say, "Nas I got your back - the fools don't play"
54
I rolled with some Crips down to a Crenshaw funeral
55
Never saw so many men slaughtered and I knew the ho responsible
56
The nigga still alive in a hospital
57
Midnight they crept in his room and shot the doctor too
58
See my cousin's in the game, thuggin' and things
59
He plugged me with a dame who was half-Mexicano
60
Gave the ass up, I'ma mack daddy Soprano
61
She passed me the indigo, but the imbecile
62
Should of never tippy-toed, thought my eyes were closed
63
Openin' the hotel room do', to let her goons in
64
But I moved in a manner, on some Jet Li shit
65
I let the hammers blow, wet three kids
66
See honey thought I had somethin' to do, with all the drama
67
Cause I was with a crew, that had her people killed
68
Called up my cousin, told him I ain't fuckin' with you
69
He responded cool, but told me out here this how motherfuckers
70
[Chorus]
71
All I really gotta say is that
72
If that's how our people goin' get down, how we ever goin' get up?
73
How we ever goin' get up if that's how we get down?
74
A shame when you ain't look at it
75
My folk is yo' folk, but we all kinfolk
76
Somebody gotta make a change
