get down
N.I.K.O Lyrics

Trying to get up to come down
Working hard to achieve success and then enjoy the fruits of labor

Got that playa shit by the pound
Having a lot of confidence and charisma

The gold with the lacs and the crown
Having a lot of money and success

Make it where them hoes come around
Attracting attention from women

Booming like a sub underground
Receiving a lot of positive attention despite being underground

The whole city hearin' it's around
Gaining a lot of local popularity

We all on the get up to come down
Working hard to achieve success so that one can enjoy the rewards

We back at it one mo' gain'
Continuing to hustle and work hard towards success

Cranking my motor, revving my engine
Preparing to work hard and be productive

Chilling the AC til' it's colder than a breeze in Alaska
Making sure that one is comfortable and relaxed in a productive environment

Sun shine like the winter time just passed us
Feeling positive and hopeful about the future

Watching for laws and jackers
Keeping an eye out for potential problems or obstacles

Cuz', this shit here too clean to be taken
Feeling confident in one's success and ability to protect it

I keep it tucked off in my clothes you never catch me out her bucket naked
Keeping one's valuables hidden and safe

Fresh drawls, them desktop Js for the caskets
Making sure that one is well-dressed and presentable

Pressing up on these bastards that owe me and I gots to have it
Demanding what one is owed and working hard to achieve financial success

Wake up and cake up 'cause' it's only right
Working hard and being productive because it is the appropriate thing to do

Soon as the sun go down, the freaks come out and they gon' dress in summer tights
Looking forward to enjoying the rewards of hard work after hours

I'm tryna dig deep, Ginger-ale and Hennessy
Trying to stay focused and in the zone while relaxing with a favorite drink

It keep me in the zone, I'm like long til' the clock strike twelve
Staying productive and focused until the very last moment

One mo' then I'm out of the front door
Finishing up work and preparing to enjoy the fruits of labor

On a mission like a waffle house cooked for the 24/7
Being consistently productive and focused

Man, I'm just trying to get paid
Working hard in order to achieve financial success

And make it where these mothafuckas hate
Becoming so successful that others become envious

This for those playas and those gator belts getting cheese like patty melts
Dedicating success to those who have achieved it in the past

Serving up game like help yo' self
Sharing knowledge and experience to help others achieve success

Refereeing, calling plays on the sidelines
Providing advice and guidance to others

Super the bowl, diamonds and gold
Achieving great success and wealth

Won a ring like five times
Achieving massive success and recognition multiple times

I remember wanting be that cuz' I seen it
Being inspired by successful people in order to achieve similar success

Don't ever tell a hoe that you love a hoe if you don't mean it
Being honest with someone about love and emotions

Unless it's bout that paper paper, got that from a playa pimp
Being honest about money and working hard to achieve financial success

They say it's work to p-i, easier to be a simp
Working hard to achieve success is difficult, but being a simp (or someone who is taken advantage of) is even harder

Put it in motion, rollercoasting, peep the focus of a go-getter
Working hard and being productive while staying focused and determined

If you flip it once and get it, it's fasho fitting
Achieving success once is proof that it is possible

If you ain't eating with you squad, you's a hoe nigga
Working with others and sharing success is important

That's from the heart
Believing strongly in the importance of teamwork and collaboration

Never pump kool-aid when we on a mission
Not getting sidetracked or distracted from the end goal

Here's a little story that must be told
Sharing a personal narrative to provide context for future success

A wild young nigga off on Calverton road
Having a rough upbringing and difficult life

I was raised on Kings ridge where there wasn't no rules
Growing up in a lawless environment

Robbing niggas for they Starter jackets and shoes
Having to resort to crime to survive

Yeah, I've done some real things, family full of fiends
Having experienced tough times and addiction within the family

Forty ounce of Old English, and new some Newport kings
Engaging in unhealthy habits as a way to cope with stress and pain

Pocket full of pieces and 74' Caprisces
Having weapons and flashy cars

Europeans in a crib in Buckhead, thank you Jesus
Achieving success despite tough circumstances

Boy, I'm sweet James Jones when I'm whipping up a ritz
Feeling confident and powerful while working hard

I'm really on my wrist and a super bad bitch
Being successful and surrounded by attractive and powerful women

And you know it's southside, you can tell by the parlor
Showing pride in one's geographical region

Give it a good look cuz' there'll never be another
Being proud of individuality and uniqueness

Hoes, a hundred spokes, what you expect?
Being surrounded by attractive women and enjoying success

Trust me, money can't buy you that respect
Believing that true respect comes from hard work and dedication

Got feel it out of love, and get it from out the mud
Achieving success through hard work and dedication, regardless of past circumstances

And it'll come round, or get out the way
Believing that success is inevitable with hard work and determination

Yeah, playa worldwide 3rd coast all day
Feeling successful and proud of one's geographic and cultural region

Mississippi wheel connected everywhere
Feeling that influence and power extend beyond one's immediate geographic area

Mind 4eva N a Day, forever how forever anyway
Believing that one's mindset and outlook are the keys to long-term success

You know how it be mayne when you all the way down in the game underground
Experiencing struggle and hardship in the pursuit of success

Trying to get up off that thang, them people can't stand you mayne
Working hard to lift oneself out of poverty and hardship, despite resistance from others

They can't get with it mayne
Others may not understand or appreciate the hard work and determination it takes to achieve success

Cuz' they don't realize, how, what it took
Others may not fully understand or appreciate the sacrifices and hard work required to achieve success

To get to a place where 4eva Is A Mighty Long Time
Achieving long-term, sustained success takes hard work and dedication

And all that time, you was doing it big
Experiencing great success and wealth over the course of a long period of time

It's mighty good for you
Being proud and grateful for one's success and accomplishments

Multi til' the muthafuckin sun die
Continuing to be successful and work hard throughout one's lifetime

K.R.I.T
Referring to the artist himself

King Remembered In Time
A nickname for the artist, emphasizing his success and influence

Believe that dere'
Feeling confident in one's abilities and potential for success

So As the beat keep rolling on
Continuing to work and be productive

The snare keep hitting and that 808 keep going on
Maintaining the drive and motivation to continue working hard

And that baseline keep being fit to the slashin'
Having the right attitude and mindset to achieve success

Forever and ever lasting in a timeless fashion bitch
Achieving success that lasts a lifetime and beyond
