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

Yes
Confirmation of Tony! Toni! Tonй! and DJ Quick's presence.

You didn't think we could flip it on yo ass, huh?
Challenging the listener's expectation.

Something for the dance floor
Intention of creating danceable music.

In a real way
Authenticity and sincerity of the music.

It's going down like this forever
Confidence in the longevity of their success.

And a day
Emphasizing the permanent nature of the impact they will have.

Now what you hear is not a drag
Assurance that the music being played is not boring.

'Cause Mr. DJ Quik got a brand new bag
DJ Quik has a fresh approach to his music.

But first I gotta bang bang
Starting the music with a bang and high energy.

A boogie for the boogie
A song for dancing and partying.

To the rhythm of the ghettoey streets
Influenced by the culture and sound of the streets.

Check it out now
Listen to the music closely and pay attention.

You trying to give me some Eight Ball
Rejecting a drug offer.

But no way
Firm stance against drug use.

I'd rather have a Mimosa With Crystal and O.J., yeah
Preferring a sophisticated cocktail instead of drugs.

Just a little something bubbly and tingly
Enjoying light and refreshing drinks.

To have me walking around naked but wait a second
Drinking alcohol may lead to uninhibited behavior, but caution is advised.

The function's on
The party or event is happening now.

Around midnight
Late at night when the party is in full swing.

What time is it
Asking for the current time to coordinate actions.

Are you inside
Checking if someone is present at the party.

Available
Asking if someone is free to socialize.

To come and play
Inviting someone to join the party.

Give me a clue
Asking for direction or clarification.

So I don't have to
Avoiding unnecessary effort.

Look for you
Trying to locate someone at the party.

Come on, let's get down, let's get down, let's get down
Encouraging everyone to dance together.

Come on let's get down
Invitation to dance.

In my black Chevrolet
Mentioning the car model they are driving.

Yeah, now we don't need a club
Stating that partying can be done outside of a nightclub.

We can do it at my house
Hosting a party at home.

My front door's open so homey's can bust it out
Welcoming guests to the party.

And ladies if you're coming leave your children at the nursery
Suggesting that it may not be appropriate to bring children to the party.

So you can get slow on the anniversary
Enjoying the moment and taking it slow.

Kill me
Declaring enthusiasm and excitement about the party.

I dip dip da
Expressing a playful attitude.

So don't be looking stupid when I unfasten your bra
Confidently and playfully flirting with someone.

You know you want to mack this
Flirtatiously suggesting that someone is interested in them.

Because I come stronger than the IRS
Being financially stable and successful.

Whenever you done got delinquent on your taxes
Imagining a scenario where someone may need help from the IRS.

Now here I am
Acknowledging the present moment.

Staring at you
Looking at someone with interest.

I need a drink
Feeling thirsty and wanting to drink.

You need one too
Offering a drink to someone else.

Who is your friend
Inquiring about someone's companion.

She don't look nice
Noticing something negative about someone's companion.

But I know she will
Assuming that someone's companion will be fun later on.

Later on tonight
Anticipating fun later in the evening.

Come on let's get down, let's get down, let's get down
Encouraging everyone to dance together.

Yeah, now we don't need a club
Stating that partying can be done outside of a nightclub.

We can do it at my house
Hosting a party at home.

My front door's open so homey's can bust it out
Welcoming guests to the party.

And ladies if you're coming leave your children at the nursery
Suggesting that it may not be appropriate to bring children to the party.

So you can get slow on the anniversary
Enjoying the moment and taking it slow.

I'm at the club
Being present at a nightclub again.

And I'm off that drug
No longer under the influence of alcohol.

The one they call alcohol got me acting y'all
Alcohol is affecting behavior.

I hump two first before I hump two more
Dancing with two people before moving on to others.

And now I'm throwing up my guts out the car door
Getting sick because of excessive drinking.

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

Got your homey beggin' for some Pepto Bismol
Suffering from the negative consequences of drinking too much.

But when my stomach's right I'll be back tonight
Planning to return to the party after feeling better.

To get that lady I was grinding on the wall
Returning to dance with someone they were dancing with earlier.

Now table one, that's my folks
Identifying people they are familiar with.

And table two, that's my folks
Identifying more people they are familiar with.

And everybody knows my name
Being well-known and popular at the party.

Now table three that's B. Grund
Identifying someone by name.

And table four that's G-One
Identifying someone else by name.

You best be prepared
Warning others to be ready.

'Cause it's all a game you know
Reminding that partying is supposed to be fun.

I gotta get my groove on
Feeling the need to dance.

Keep movin' and groovin', movin' and groovin'
Continuing to dance and have fun.

Keep shakin' that ass, shakin' that ass
Encouraging others to dance and have fun.

I'm groovin'
Enjoying the music and dancing.

Say what?
Asking for clarification or attention.

Movin'
Continuing to dance and have fun.

Come on let's get down, down, down, down (in my black Chevrolet)
Inviting others to join in the fun while also referencing the car model again.
