During his rise to notability, Diplo worked with British musician M.I.A., an artist who is credited with helping expose him in his early career. Later, Pentz and fellow M.I.A. producer Switch created a Jamaican dancehall project titled Major Lazer. Since then, Diplo has worked on production and mixtape projects with many other notable pop artists. Pentz's alias, short for Diplodocus, derives from his childhood fascination with dinosaurs.

Get It Right
Diplo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where did all the flowers go?
They say we're supposed to grow
Learning from the highs and low
All eyes lying on me, oh
Begging me to play the role
'Cause I'm gonna get it right
I'm gonna get it right
They can try to hold me down, but I am
I'm gonna get it right
When the sky is filled with smoke and fire
I'm gonna get it right
All I want is something better in the purple light
They can try to hold me down, but I am
I'm gonna get it right
All my dreams are running wild
I'm gonna chase them down
They said, "you can't lose your mind, hurry up, you're out of time"
I said, "I will rise and shine, even in the coldest night"
'Cause I'm gonna get it right
I'm gonna get it right
You can try to hold me down, but I am
I'm gonna get it right
When the sky is filled with smoke and fire
I'm gonna get it right
All I want is something better in the purple light
They can try to hold me down, but I am
I'm gonna get it right
I'm gonna get it right
I'm gonna get it right
The lyrics in Diplo's song Get It Up speak of determination, perseverance, and the will to succeed. The first verse talks about walking down a road and wondering where all the flowers have gone. This line can be interpreted as the singer wondering why there is so much negativity and destruction around them, but despite this, they are determined to grow and learn from both the highs and the lows. The second verse describes the dreams of the singer and how they are determined to chase them down. They refuse to listen to those who say they cannot succeed and are willing to rise above adversity and shine even in the coldest night.
The chorus repeats the phrase "I'm gonna get it right," which serves as a powerful declaration of the singer's determination and self-belief. The lines "You can try to hold me down, but I am" suggest that there may be people or external forces trying to put obstacles in the singer's way, but they are determined to rise above them and achieve success. The verse "When the sky is filled with smoke and fire" could represent a challenging situation, but the singer is not afraid and will continue to pursue their aspirations. Overall, the song has a positive and empowering message encouraging listeners to pursue their goals even in the face of adversity.
