Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All these niggas hating
I don't give a damn
Smoke a half a pound with another zan
No candy bar i want a hundred grand
If you a bad bitch do my cousin
All these ones on the floor
That's a floor plan
I'm going to ball until i fall
Bitch understand got bankrolls
Got good dro i'm rolling
Dumb whores or skinny whores
Just go get more
I don't give a fuck what a nigga think
I'm the shit bitch smell my stink
Balling like a bitch nigga
I be skylar diggens any nigga
Diss the squad ass gone be missing
Cut through baller O.J simpson
Something like katt williams
I stay pimping No popeyes
But we getting chicken
Wish you would try me
Be my Genie get you wacked off
For a pretty penny no south park
Going timmy with the semi
Going timmy with the semi
No south park bitch im going timmy with the semi
If you a real ass nigga stand the fuck up
If you a real ass bitch stand the fuck up
If you know you about your gwap
Stand the fuck up
If you know you fucked up put your cup up
Now sit down sit down sit down
Sit down I get down i get down
I get down i get down
I'm a real nigga so the real fuck with me
If it aint about a Hundred don't speak to me
Young arrogant nigga all the bitches say im mean
Sloppy bankroll make a broke bitch smile
A couple turnarounds fixing to get a nigga straight
Razor blade and blow about to scrape the plate
Got to think about all the days i didnt ate
Now im eating and asking for a plate to take
Count it up and throw it in the safe
And save it for a rainy day
Because these pussy niggas
Want to stop a nigga shine
Two feet hustling to my grind
Expensive kicks on my feet
Motivation from the grind
Remember all the times when i was down and broke
Nobody to help a nigga up
Now i sit on my money make it look
Like a nigga standing up
Now i sit on my money make it look
Like i'm sitting up
Long as the money come i dont give a fuck
If you a real ass nigga stand the fuck up
If you a real ass bitch stand the fuck up
If you know you about your gwap
Stand the fuck up
If you know you fucked up put your cup up
Now sit down sit down sit down
Sit down I get down i get down
I get down i get down
I'm a money getter fuck being broke
The baddest chick up in the club
Yeah i got to poke Break her down
Fuck her good show her whats good
Kick her out then im back on some boss shit
Never had a fucking gotti but i want one
Never had a fucking father but i dont need none
All i need is this cash and some loud blunts
Put the whole harbor on if i get a deal
Because it's kids in the hood that got to eat
Raised without a father just like me
Stack this bread fuck these whores
All a nigga knows twenty stacks
Up on the table ill split the cream
Getting money with the set whole lot of green
Niggas talk shit but dont even know me
Mama said stay fly get money by any means
Was only six years old when i sold to a fiend
If you a real ass nigga stand the fuck up
If you a real ass bitch stand the fuck up
If you know you about your gwap
Stand the fuck up
If you know you fucked up put your cup up
Now sit down sit down sit down
Sit down I get down i get down
I get down i get down
G money im all about the money
Dont talk to me if you aint about that money
I'll talk bad to you have you looking all funny
Just to show you that i'm really all about that money
So clear the way a nigga about to take this
Serious this that keep it in the safe shit
I'm quick to get at you like water to electric
And if i start it ain't no stopping it
And if i pull a gun believe im popping it
And if i talk shit believe im rocking you
Quick two piece owe wee he hit the floor sleep
Damn nigga you hit the floor sleep
This verse sixteen shoot it until its empty
And if i shoot it ain't no missing
After i shoot i'm dipping off quick
I got a little bit of old school in me
So nigga don't tempt me
If you a real ass nigga stand the fuck up
If you a real ass bitch stand the fuck up
If you know you about your gwap
Stand the fuck up
If you know you fucked up put your cup up
Now sit down sit down sit down




Sit down I get down i get down
I get down i get down

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Get Down by M.I.A, remixed by Nonsens, talk about the artist's life experiences and philosophy. She talks about not caring what others think or do and just focusing on making money. She mentions her love for smoking weed and taking Zans (Xanax) to make it through the day. She references wanting to make money, but she also talks about her past struggles and how she had to sell drugs just to survive. However, now she's successful and doesn't care about what people say or do. She encourages everyone who recognizes who they are about the money to stand up and make it.


The tone of the song is highly rebellious and centered around the promotion of anti-conformity. M.I.A exudes a level of confidence that is almost intimidating – she's done it all, and she doesn't care what others think. The lyrics are peppered with slang that is mostly African-American and Latino: "niggas," "bitch," "sloppy bankroll." There's an overall toughness to the lyrics that resonates with street life.

This would have been an instant viral song in today's age, her music and video was always ahead of her time

@weemzgamez4714

This beat is so damn hard it sounds like it came out today

@johnlancaster9477

And a blessing for us

@IndieCindy3

It didn’t go viral, but it was still a hit. And just because something goes viral doesn’t mean it’s good or that it will have longevity. People still remember this because MIA is amazing and this song is a classic/masterpiece.
