Come Down
R.D.G. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got that playa shit by the pound
The gold with the lacs and the crown
Make it where them hoes come around
Trying to get up to come down
Booming like a sub underground
The whole city hearin' it's around
We all on the get up to come down
We back at it one mo' gain'
Cranking my motor, revving my engine
Chilling the AC til' it's colder than a breeze in Alaska
Sun shine like the winter time just passed us
Watching for laws and jackers
Cuz', this shit here too clean to be taken
I keep it tucked off in my clothes you never catch me out her bucket naked
Fresh drawls, them desktop Js for the caskets
Pressing up on these bastards that owe me and I gots to have it
Wake up and cake up 'cause' it's only right
Soon as the sun go down, the freaks come out and they gon' dress in summer tights
I'm tryna dig deep, Ginger-ale and Hennessy
It keep me in the zone, I'm like long til' the clock strike twelve
One mo' then I'm out of the front door
On a mission like a waffle house cooked for the 24/7
Man, I'm just trying to get paid
And make it where these mothafuckas hate
I got up to come down
Trying to get up to come down
Got that playa shit by the pound
The gold with the lacs and the crown
Make it where them hoes come around
Trying to get up to come down
Booming like a sub underground
The whole city hearin' it's around
We all on the get up to come down
This for those playas and those gator belts getting cheese like patty melts
Serving up game like help yo' self
Refereeing, calling plays on the sidelines
Super the bowl, diamonds and gold
Won a ring like five times
I remember wanting be that cuz' I seen it
Don't ever tell a hoe that you love a hoe if you don't mean it
Unless it's bout that paper paper, got that from a playa pimp
They say it's work to p-i, easier to be a simp
Put it in motion, rollercoasting, peep the focus of a go-getter
If you flip it once and get it, it's fasho fitting
If you ain't eating with you squad, you's a hoe nigga
That's from the heart
Never pump kool-aid when we on a mission
That's 24/7 like a waffle cook in a waffle house kitchen
Man, I'm just trying to get paid
And make it where these mothafuckas hate
I got up to come down
Trying to get up to come down
Got that playa shit by the pound
The gold with the lacs and the crown
Make it where them hoes come around
Trying to get up to come down
Booming like a sub underground
The whole city hearin' it's around
We all on the get up to come down
Here's a little story that must be told
A wild young nigga off on Calverton road
I was raised on Kings ridge where there wasn't no rules
Robbing niggas for they Starter jackets and shoes
Yeah, I've done some real things, family full of fiends
Forty ounce of Old English, and new some Newport kings
Pocket full of pieces and 74' Caprisces
Europeans in a crib in Buckhead, thank you Jesus
Boy, I'm sweet James Jones when I'm whipping up a ritz
I'm really on my wrist and a super bad bitch
And you know it's southside, you can tell by the parlor
Give it a good look cuz' there'll never be another
Hoes, a hundred spokes, what you expect?
Trust me, money can't buy you that respect
Got feel it out of love, and get it from out the mud
And it'll come round, or get out the way
I'm coming down
Trying to get up to come down
Yeah, playa worldwide 3rd coast all day
Mississippi wheel connected everywhere
Mind 4eva N a Day, forever how forever anyway
You know how it be mayne when you all the way down in the game underground
Trying to get up off that thang, them people can't stand you mayne
They can't get with it mayne
'Cause they don't realize, how, what it took
To get to a place where 4eva Is A Mighty Long Time
And all that time, you was doing it big
It's mighty good for you
4eva is, 4eva was, and 4eva we will be
Multi til' the muthafuckin sun die
K.R.I.T
King Remembered In Time
Believe that dere'
So As the beat keep rolling on
The snare keep hitting and that 808 keep going on
And that baseline keep being fit to the slashin'
Forever and ever lasting in a timeless fashion bitch

Possessing an abundance of player characteristics
The gold with the lacs and the crown
Adorned with valuable items such as gold and luxury vehicles
Make it where them hoes come around
Creating an environment that attracts promiscuous individuals
Booming like a sub underground
Thriving like an underground music scene
The whole city hearin' it's around
The entire city is aware of its presence
We all on the get up to come down
We are all striving to rise only to eventually fall
We back at it one mo' gain'
We are once again engaged in our activity
Cranking my motor, revving my engine
Starting my vehicle and accelerating
Chilling the AC til' it's colder than a breeze in Alaska
Adjusting the air conditioning to a freezing temperature
Sun shine like the winter time just passed us
The sunlight is bright like the recently ended winter season
Watching for laws and jackers
Being vigilant for police and thieves
Cuz', this shit here too clean to be taken
Because this situation is too favorable to be compromised
I keep it tucked off in my clothes you never catch me out her bucket naked
I conceal it in my clothes so I'm never caught unprepared
Fresh drawls, them desktop Js for the caskets
New underwear and expensive shoes for important occasions
Pressing up on these bastards that owe me and I gots to have it
Asserting myself against those who owe me money
Wake up and cake up 'cause' it's only right
Wake up and start making money because it's the appropriate thing to do
Soon as the sun go down, the freaks come out and they gon' dress in summer tights

One mo' then I'm out of the front door
One more activity, then I'm leaving
On a mission like a waffle house cooked for the 24/7
On a continuous mission, just like a Waffle House that serves food all day, every day
Man, I'm just trying to get paid
I'm simply trying to earn money
And make it where these mothafuckas hate
And make others envious
This for those playas and those gator belts getting cheese like patty melts
For those skilled players who acquire wealth and success
Serving up game like help yo' self

Won a ring like five times
Achieving a high level of success multiple times
I remember wanting be that cuz' I seen it
I aspired to be successful because I witnessed it
Don't ever tell a hoe that you love a hoe if you don't mean it
Never express false love to a promiscuous individual
Unless it's bout that paper paper, got that from a playa pimp
Unless it pertains to money, which I learned from a skilled player
They say it's work to p-i, easier to be a simp
They say it requires effort to be a player, but it's easier to be a fool
Put it in motion, rollercoasting, peep the focus of a go-getter
Taking action, experiencing ups and downs, observing the determination of an ambitious individual
If you flip it once and get it, it's fasho fitting
If you successfully profit from a venture, it's undeniably suitable
If you ain't eating with you squad, you's a hoe nigga
If you're not sharing the benefits with your group, you're disloyal
That's from the heart
That's a sincere statement
Never pump kool-aid when we on a mission
Never waste time when we have a goal to achieve
That's 24/7 like a waffle cook in a waffle house kitchen
That's constant, just like a cook working in a Waffle House kitchen
Here's a little story that must be told
Presenting a narrative that must be shared
A wild young nigga off on Calverton road
A rebellious young man roaming Calverton road
I was raised on Kings ridge where there wasn't no rules
I grew up in a neighborhood with an absence of regulations
Robbing niggas for they Starter jackets and shoes
Stealing Starter jackets and shoes from individuals
Yeah, I've done some real things, family full of fiends
Yes, I have engaged in illegal activities and have family members addicted to drugs
Forty ounce of Old English, and new some Newport kings
Consuming a 40-ounce bottle of Old English malt liquor and smoking Newport cigarettes
Pocket full of pieces and 74' Caprisces
Carrying a pocket full of firearms and driving a 1974 Chevrolet Caprice
Europeans in a crib in Buckhead, thank you Jesus
Luxury European cars parked at a residence in Buckhead, expressing gratitude for success
Boy, I'm sweet James Jones when I'm whipping up a ritz
I'm skillful and successful when I'm preparing a meal
I'm really on my wrist and a super bad bitch
I'm focused on my watch and an extremely attractive woman
And you know it's southside, you can tell by the parlor
It's apparent that I'm from the southern part of town, indicated by the social gathering spot
Give it a good look cuz' there'll never be another
Appreciate it because there will never be anything similar
Hoes, a hundred spokes, what you expect?
Promiscuous individuals and expensive car rims, what else would you anticipate?
Trust me, money can't buy you that respect
Believe me, money cannot purchase genuine respect
Got feel it out of love, and get it from out the mud
You have to earn respect through love and hard work
And it'll come round, or get out the way
Respect will come naturally, otherwise, stay out of the path
Yeah, playa worldwide 3rd coast all day
Yes, I am a worldly player from the southern coast
Mississippi wheel connected everywhere
My presence and influence extends to all locations
Mind 4eva N a Day, forever how forever anyway
My mind is forever committed, regardless of the passage of time
You know how it be mayne when you all the way down in the game underground
You understand the situation when you're deeply involved in the underground music scene
Trying to get up off that thang, them people can't stand you mayne
Attempting to elevate from unfavorable circumstances, disliked by others
They can't get with it mayne
They cannot comprehend or accept it
'Cause they don't realize, how, what it took
Because they are unaware of the effort it required
To get to a place where 4eva Is A Mighty Long Time
To reach a point where eternity is a significant duration
And all that time, you was doing it big
And throughout that period, you were achieving greatness
It's mighty good for you
It's extremely beneficial for you
4eva is, 4eva was, and 4eva we will be
Forever is a part of our past, present, and future
Multi til' the muthafuckin sun die
Continuously flourishing until the end of time

The initials of the artist, R.D.G.
King Remembered In Time
A title emphasizing the legacy of the artist
Believe that dere'
Have faith in that statement
So As the beat keep rolling on
As the rhythm continues to play
The snare keep hitting and that 808 keep going on
The percussion instrument maintains its impact and the bass continues
And that baseline keep being fit to the slashin'
And the bassline remains suitable for the energetic performance
Forever and ever lasting in a timeless fashion bitch
Endlessly enduring in a style that transcends time
