Settle Down
Alonzo Holt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Get get get in line, and settle down
What's your twenty? (Do you copy?)
Where's your brain? (Do you copy?)
Checking in to check you out
Concerned about your whereabouts
Copy that, you're acting strange
So tell me what is going on
I'm fine (and nothing's gonna knock this one down)
I'm feeling positive for real, I'm all good
I'm fine (and nothing's gonna knock this one down)
It's getting complicated that's for sure
But you can see it my eyes, you can read on my lips
I'm trying to get a hold on this
And I really mean it this time
And you know it's such a trip
Don't get me started
I'm trying to get a hold on this
Get get get in line, and settle down
Get get get in line, and settle down
No big deal (I can handle it)
It'll bounce off me (I can handle it)
Been around the block before, doesn't matter anymore
Here we go again (are you kiddin' me?)
Are you insane? (are you kiddin' me?)
Underneath the avalanche so heavy again
I'm fine (and nothing's gonna knock this one down)
I'm feeling positive for real, I'm all good baby
I'm fine (and nothing's gonna knock this one down)
It's kinda complicated that's for sure
But you can see it my eyes, you can read on my lips
I'm trying to get a hold on this
And I really mean it this time
And you know it's such a trip
Don't get me started
I'm trying to get a hold on this
Get get get in line, and settle down
Get get get in line, and settle down

"I've been planning it all week son" the coldest line a villain could say

Why so serious?

How about "all year?" Would that have been "colder?"
@jimreily7538
"I've been planning it your whole LIFE son. Remember how you played cops and robbers as a kid ? I encouraged your parents to make sure you played as the cops, and never the robbers.
Oh, and your guidance counselor who advised you to join the LAPD ? Yeah, I paid him to say that.
You think you passed that test to get in to the force, on your own merits ? Nah son, I marked the exam !"

"That is the second time you have pointed a gun at me, there will NOT be a third". Not only is that totally badass, it sounds like something a serious cop would actually say. Such a great film.
