get down
Eylem Lyrics

I see everybody rockin' the same old style
I observe that everyone wears the same old style.

And everyone's sportin' the same profile
Every individual exhibits a similar type of personality trait.

And all of y'all wearin' the same name brands
All individuals are displaying similar brand affiliation.

I hear everybody jackin' these played out jams
I notice that everybody is copying and repeating the same outdated music.

I won't reach for no gun punk I use my hands
I do not believe in violence, I prefer a non-aggressive approach.

I rock mikes and roll bikes I cross foriegn lands
I perform with microphones and enjoy traveling abroad on motorcycles.

I made my bones out in zones where twilight be
I gained my recognition and reputation in areas where the light is fading, at dusk or dawn.

And every time I touch the mike it's Fright Night Part Three
Whenever I perform, it's like a horror movie sequel.

For every emcee that wannaa test and try
Every rapper who dares to challenge me.

In your custom made wears thinkin' you too fly
You strut around in your expensive customized clothing, believing you are better than others.

Make it up in gold chains what you're lackin' for brains
You compensate for poor intelligence with flaunting gold chains.

Its time to pull your mind through, scoop up your remains
It's time to rethink your actions and pick up the pieces of your shattered life.

And finally lay to rest all the shit you stressed
And ultimately get rid of all the trivial things you have been worrying about.

Of boastin' and braggin' about the toes you taggin'
Stop boasting and bragging about having casual sexual encounters.

I'm knock, knock, knockin' on heavens door
I am approaching death.

While every rapper that's simmed is pimped like a whore
While all the rappers who have sold out are treated like prostitutes.

You see the talk is eighteen, three quarters past four
The conversation is taking a negative turn.

When your doctor slaps my ass, hear the lion roar
When I was born, I made a strong statement and people have been taking notice ever since.

The record sales soared and the world got toured
My music became very popular, and I got to perform in many countries.

You say what happened to my band, I say I just got bored
You are curious about what happened to my music group, but I simply lost interest.

Now they call me Whitey Ford, and I praise the Lord
Now I go by the name Whitey Ford, and I am grateful to God.

Find me breakin' up your crews, catch me singin' the blues
I am likely to break up your groups and appear sad or disappointed.

Strummin' and pickin' like I'm BB King
Playing the guitar in the style of the great BB King.

It's Abdul Rakim, now watch me do my thing
I am Maxx Eylem, and now you can watch me perform.

Down, down, you go
You continue to descend.

Down, down, so low
You have reached an extremely low level.

Down, down, till you hit the floor
You drop to the ground.

Keep fallin' down, till you can't get down no more
Keep descending until you can no longer go any lower.

You go point blank range with the scope he's knockin'
You are very close to the target that is being hunted.

The Psycho might change but there ain't no stoppin'
The behavior of someone crazy might change, but they won't stop being crazy.

The moon's on the rise when the sun start droppin'
The total opposite starts happening as soon as the first event reaches its peak.

And y'all need to quit the bullshit that you be poppin'
You need to stop talking nonsense and creating distractions.

I've been hip hoppin' since BDP,
I have been performing hip-hop music since the legendary Boogie Down Productions.

(?), it's Abdul Rakim
Not sure what this line means.

And when referring to me you must respect the name
You should show respect and use my full name when addressing me.

Make a quick double-take and double-check your game
Take a moment to look twice and evaluate your situation.

'Cause you about to get dissed, I'm checkin' my list
You are about to get insulted because I am evaluating you and your actions.

When I check it over twice it's like rollin' dice
When I re-evaluate something, it's like taking a gamble.

I hit four, five, six, I'm all up in your mix
I hit a winning combination, and now I am fully involved in what is happening with you.

I rock good from Hollywood to the city of bricks
My music is entertaining and loved everywhere, from Hollywood to lowly urban areas.

And all these fake cats scream they're keepin' it real
Fake people pretend to be authentic.

While you're makin' your deal we'll be breakin' the seal
While you are busy making transactions, we will be breaking open something that was closed.

You be breakin' your vows like people worshippin' cows
You are not keeping your promises, similar to people who worship cows instead of a god.

And then I hit ya with the who's, what's, where's and how's
I confront you directly with specific questions about your actions and motives.

Like Vinny Barbarino, Matt Pachino
Not sure what this line means.

I'm with my man Rino with the Brooklyn Lordz
I am with my friend Rino, and we are part of a group called Brooklyn Lordz.

Crashin' the boards with my soul in a hole
We are playing basketball aggressively and taking chances, while I feel emotionally drained.

I take it back to the future from the days of old
I am incorporating elements from the past and future into my performance.

I'm too cold to hold, too hot not to burn ya
I am an unstoppable force that will either chill you to the core or burn you up with my passion.

Don't stick your nose in business that don't concern ya
Do not meddle in affairs that do not affect you.

Might have to trip and flip like Ive Turner
I might have to get aggressive and volatile like Ike Turner.

You too old for schoolin', boy, when I'm gonna learn ya
You are too old to be taught, it is unlikely that I can educate you.

CHORUS
Repeating the chorus of the song.

Down, down, you go
You continue to descend.

Down, down, so low
You have reached an extremely low level.

Down, down, till you hit the floor
You drop to the ground.

Keep fallin' down, till you can't get down no more
Keep descending until you can no longer go any lower.
