Yo Jon-John this track is crazy
You know how i do
Browntown, Roc-A-Fella
Where my ballers at? Where my thugs at?
Where my fellows at?
Where my ladies at?
Where my ballers at? Where my thugs at?
Where my fellows at?
Where my coins at? Where my bitches at?
Where my ladies at?
Let me know what tha deal, keep it real
If you want to build
Ain't nothing wrong with a roughneck
Rockin' dirty Timbs, baggy jeans, and a nice chest
What you do on the low?
You Bling-bling
You's a thug for sure, I want ice cold ice, hit me off
want to break me off, you gotta break me off
Break me off
However you want to get down
I can get down, baby, like you get down
You know I don't play around
If you got diamonds, maybe we can get down
However you want to get down
I can get down, baby, like you get down
You know I don't play around
If you got diamonds, maybe we can get down, get down
Can I live? Let me live, you want me
Then you gotta give
I'm a bad girl, such a bad girl
Not a hot girl, but a rock girl
Drive a drop girl
Hair is done, body's right
You want to touch cause I'm just that tight
We can roll, we can stroll but I gotta let you know
I ain't giving out without doe
So if you want to get with me
Then diamonds is what I need
You are what I need
And if you want to make me happy
Then give me some of your cream
Give it to me baby, give it to me, give it to me
Uh huh, yeah
Amilliyon, Major Coins
Uh
It be the brokest niggas always talking shit
I don't even notice niggas who can't offer shit
What that look like, a broke nigga flossin this
Major Coin, meaning high costing bitch
Only a baller in fact can keep me in the minks
To the small of my back, I'm just keeping it real
Letting y'all know from the gate, no papes, no scrapes
You ain't hungry for it, no plates
Mother fucker you'll get clowned first
Treat you like a corner scrub slinging an ounce of dirt
Think about it, what sound worse?
Telling my Coins you broke, or you drowned the purse?
See only official bitches wifey of a rich nigga
A smart bitch, fuck with no trick niggas
Them grimy bitches fuck with stick niggas
And a dumb bitch just fuck you for your dick nigga
The lyrics of Amil's song Get Down is all about asking for what she wants and needs in a man. The song highlights the different types of men that Amil is attracted to - ballers, thugs, and fellows, as well as ladies and bitches. The first few stanzas establish what Amil is looking for in a man, which is to keep it real and build something together. She then goes on to describe her preferences in a man - roughneck, Bling-bling, with ice cold ice. Amil then goes on to discuss her worth as a woman, saying that if a man wants her, he has to be able to give her what she needs - diamonds and money.
In the second part of the song, Amil talks about how she is a bad girl, who drives a drop car, has her hair done, and her body is perfect. She then declares that she won't give herself away without getting what she wants, which is simply her partner's money. Amil is very clear in expressing her need for money, and how it is necessary to keep her satisfied.
Overall, the song is all about self-worth, particularly in the context of material possessions. Amil is incredibly straightforward about what she wants, and isn't afraid to ask for it.
