Get Down
UC a.k.a. DJ Uppercut Lyrics

Trying to get up to come down
Working hard to eventually enjoy the fruits of labor

Got that playa shit by the pound
Fully equipped with the skills and attitude of a successful player

The gold with the lacs and the crown
Possessing wealth, luxury vehicles, and jewelry fit for royalty

Make it where them hoes come around
Achieving a level of status and success that attracts women

Booming like a sub underground
Experiencing widespread success amongst a dedicated and loyal audience

The whole city hearin' it's around
Gaining attention and respect from the entire local community

We all on the get up to come down
Everyone is working hard to eventually enjoy the fruits of labor

We back at it one mo' gain'
Continuing to work tirelessly towards success without a break

Cranking my motor, revving my engine
Getting fully prepared and motivated for the day ahead

Chilling the AC til' it's colder than a breeze in Alaska
Cooling off and relaxing in a luxurious way

Sun shine like the winter time just passed us
Experiencing a bright and promising future after a cold and bleak period

Watching for laws and jackers
Being vigilant and cautious in order to avoid legal trouble or robbery

Cuz', this shit here too clean to be taken
Knowing that one's possessions are of such high value that they are unlikely to be stolen

I keep it tucked off in my clothes you never catch me out her bucket naked
Being careful to always have personal possessions securely stored to avoid theft

Fresh drawls, them desktop Js for the caskets
Wearing high-quality and fashionable clothing at all times

Pressing up on these bastards that owe me and I gots to have it
Insisting that those who owe money pay it back, as it is necessary to one's financial success

Wake up and cake up 'cause' it's only right
Working hard and earning as much money as possible, as it is the sensible thing to do

Soon as the sun go down, the freaks come out and they gon' dress in summer tights
Noticing a certain type of person that comes out at night, and making the most of it

I'm tryna dig deep, Ginger-ale and Hennessy
Enjoying a drink that helps one relax and focus on important matters

It keep me in the zone, I'm like long til' the clock strike twelve
Staying motivated and focused on success from morning until night

One mo' then I'm out of the front door
Working efficiently and quickly in order to leave and enjoy the fruits of labor

On a mission like a waffle house cooked for the 24/7
Working diligently and tirelessly like a busy Waffle House restaurant that never closes

Man, I'm just trying to get paid
Working hard in order to ultimately gain wealth and financial security

And make it where these mothafuckas hate
Achieving success to the extent that others are envious and wish they had what one has

I got up to come down
Working hard to eventually enjoy the fruits of labor

This for those playas and those gator belts getting cheese like patty melts
Referencing successful players who wear fashionable belts and make a lot of money

Serving up game like help yo' self
Teaching others how to be successful and sharing wisdom and knowledge

Refereeing, calling plays on the sidelines
Taking control of the situation and making smart decisions

Super the bowl, diamonds and gold, won a ring like five times
Experiencing huge success and winning many awards and accolades

I remember wanting be that cuz' I seen it
Being inspired by successful and wealthy individuals that one has seen

Don't ever tell a hoe that you love a hoe if you don't mean it
Being honest with others and not leading them on with false promises

Unless it's bout that paper paper, got that from a playa pimp
Expressing that love and commitment are only important if there is money to be gained

They say it's work to p-i, easier to be a simp
Considering the difficulty of achieving true success and acknowledging that many people take shortcuts by being submissive

Put it in motion, rollercoasting, peep the focus of a go-getter
Actively working towards success and being determined and focused

If you flip it once and get it, it's fasho fitting
If one achieves success once, they are likely to achieve it again and again

If you ain't eating with you squad, you's a hoe nigga
Acknowledging the importance of loyalty and teamwork in order to succeed

That's from the heart
Expressing an earnest and genuine sentiment

Never pump kool-aid when we on a mission
Never being distracted or deterred from important goals and objectives

That's 24/7 like a waffle cook in a waffle house kitchen
Working hard and diligently without ever taking a break

Here's a little story that must be told
Sharing a personal story that has important life lessons

A wild young nigga off on Calverton road
Being young and reckless, making mistakes along the way

I was raised on Kings ridge where there wasn't no rules
Growing up in a place where there weren't strict expectations or limitations

Robbing niggas for they Starter jackets and shoes
Committing crimes and theft in order to get fashionable clothing

Yeah, I've done some real things, family full of fiends
Acknowledging past mistakes and struggles, as well as familial issues

Forty ounce of Old English, and new some Newport kings
Drinking and smoking heavily, engaging in unhealthy habits

Pocket full of pieces and 74' Caprisces
Carrying weapons and driving an older car

Europeans in a crib in Buckhead, thank you Jesus
Being grateful for newfound wealth, and enjoying a luxurious home in a wealthy neighborhood

Boy, I'm sweet James Jones when I'm whipping up a ritz
Feeling wealthy and successful when driving in a luxurious car

I'm really on my wrist and a super bad bitch
Being proud of one's wealth and success, and enjoying the company of attractive women

And you know it's southside, you can tell by the parlor
Being proud of one's geographic location and the culture it represents

Give it a good look cuz' there'll never be another
Being proud of one's uniqueness, and acknowledging that no one can replicate it

Hoes, a hundred spokes, what you expect?
Being surrounded by women and luxury items, as a result of one's success

Trust me, money can't buy you that respect
Knowing that true respect must be earned through hard work and dedication

Got feel it out of love, and get it from out the mud
Achieving success through true passion and dedication, regardless of the challenges

And it'll come round, or get out the way
Believing that success is inevitable, or recognizing that it may not be achievable

Yeah, playa worldwide 3rd coast all day
Feeling that one has a global reputation as a successful player

Mississippi wheel connected everywhere
Having influence and connections in many different regions

Mind 4eva N a Day, forever how forever anyway
Believing that one's mindset and goals will stay the same for eternity

You know how it be mayne when you all the way down in the game underground
Knowing what it's like to struggle and work hard in order to eventually achieve success

Trying to get up off that thang, them people can't stand you mayne
Being determined to overcome obstacles, even if others try to hold one back

They can't get with it mayne
Others may be jealous or intimidated by one's success

Cuz' they don't realize, how, what it took
Others may not understand or appreciate the hard work and dedication that went into achieving success

To get to a place where 4eva Is A Mighty Long Time
Reflecting on the journey it took to get to a place of long-lasting success

And all that time, you was doing it big
Feeling proud of the big accomplishments achieved over a long period of time

It's mighty good for you
Feeling grateful and satisfied with the success achieved

Multi til' the muthafuckin sun die
Believing that one will continue to achieve success and wealth even for a long time into the future

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

King Remembered In Time
Describing oneself as someone who will be remembered as a successful and legendary figure

Believe that dere'
Being confident and assured in one's abilities and future success

So As the beat keep rolling on
As the song continues to play and the music keeps going

The snare keep hitting and that 808 keep going on
The drums and bass of the song continue playing rhythmically

And that baseline keep being fit to the slashin'
The song maintains a strong and engaging rhythm

Forever and ever lasting in a timeless fashion bitch
The song is designed to be enjoyed and appreciated for many years to come
