Let's Get Down
Toni! Tony! Tone! Lyrics

Yes
An affirmation of agreement

Tony Toni Tone
The artist who performs the song

And DJ Quick
Collaborating artist who contributes to the song

You didn't think we could flip it on yo ass, huh?
Surprising the audience with unexpected musical style or production

Something for the dance floor
A track suitable for dancing

In a real way
Authentic and genuine

It's going down like this forever
The song's energy and excitement will last indefinitely

And a day
An indefinite period of time beyond forever

Now what you hear is not a drag
The song is not boring

'Cause Mr. DJ Quik got a brand new bag
DJ Quik brings fresh and innovative sounds to the track

But first I gotta bang bang
An opening rap verse to grab listeners' attention

A boogie for the boogie
A beat or rhythm for dancing

To the rhythm of the ghettoey streets
Influenced by urban culture and music

Check it out now
Listen and pay attention

You trying to give me some Eight Ball
Offering drugs to the artist

But no way
The artist is not interested in taking drugs

I'd rather have a Mimosa With Crystal and O.J., yeah
Prefers a light alcoholic drink over drugs

Just a little something bubbly and tingly
A description of the drink's taste and sensation

To have me walking around naked but wait a second
A humorous excerpt about the drink's effect on the artist

The function's on
A party or event is happening

Around midnight
A specific time frame for the event

What time is it
A question about the current time

Are you inside
Asking if someone is present at the party

Available
Asking if someone is free to join the party

To come and play
Inviting someone to join the event

Give me a clue
Asking for instructions on how to join the event

So I don't have to
To avoid spending time searching for directions or instructions

Look for you
Asking for a way to locate someone at the event

Come on, let's get down, let's get down, let's get down
Encouraging the audience to dance and enjoy the party

Come on let's get down
A repeated chorus line to engage the audience

In my black Chevrolet
A description of the artist's car

Yeah, now we don't need a club
Asserting the ability to create a party-like atmosphere outside of a traditional club

We can do it at my house
Hosting a party at the artist's home

My front door's open so homey's can bust it out
Welcoming guests to the artist's house and encouraging them to enjoy the party

And ladies if you're coming leave your children at the nursery
A humorous line asking females to leave their children at home in order to fully enjoy the party

So you can get slow on the anniversary
Encouraging attendees to have a good time at the party

Kill me
A comedic line followed by a drum roll

I dip dip da
A line without a clear meaning

So don't be looking stupid when I unfasten your bra
A suggestive line about a potential romantic encounter

You know you want to mack this
A confident and suggestive invitation to intimacy

Because I come stronger than the IRS
Comparing the artist's romantic prowess to the strength of the IRS when collecting taxes

Whenever you done got delinquent on your taxes
A comedic line comparing unpaid taxes to a potential for romantic encounter

Now here I am staring at you
A line about meeting someone new at the party

I need a drink
Asking for a drink from the audience

You need one too
Offereing drinks to the audience

Who is your friend
Asking about a person's friend at the party

She don't look nice
Judging the person's friend based on looks

But I know she will later on tonight
Predicting that the person's friend will be attractive to the artist later in the evening

Now I'm at the club
Returning to the club to continue partying

And I'm off that drug
No longer under the influence of the drug mentioned previously

The one they call alcohol got me acting y'all
Influenced by the effects of alcohol

I hump two first before I hump two more
A suggestive line about sexual encounters

And now I'm throwing up my guts out the car door
A comedic line about vomiting after consuming too much alcohol

Over-consumption you know how it is y'all
Acknowledging the consequences of drinking too much alcohol

Got your homey beggin' for some Pepto Bismol
Describing the discomfort of an upset stomach caused by alcohol consumption

But when my stomach's right I'll be back tonight
Returning to the club to continue partying once feeling better

To get that lady I was grinding on the wall
Returning to the club to pursue a female the artist was dancing with previously

Now table one, that's my folks
Identifying acquaintances sitting at one of the tables

And table two, that's my folks
Identifying acquaintances sitting at another one of the tables

And everybody knows my name
A line suggesting the artist has a popular reputation at the club

Now table three that's B. Grund
Identifying a specific individual sitting at one of the tables

And table four that's G-One
Identifying a specific individual sitting at another one of the tables

You best be prepared
A warning to be ready for the party and all it entails

'Cause it's all a game you know
A line suggesting the party is just a game or a way to have fun

I gotta get my groove on
The artist needs to dance and enjoy the party

Keep movin' and groovin', movin' and groovin'
Encouraging the audience to keep dancing

Keep shakin' that ass, shakin' that ass
Encouraging the audience to dance in a specific way

I'm groovin'
The artist is enjoying the music and dancing

Say what?
An exclamation of surprise or confusion

Yeah
An expression of excitement or agreement
