[Intro: Jimmy Nice]
Man, I'ma call you back
[Verse 1: Jimmy Nice]
Wait, wait, wait till I get my money right
I've been on a body of water that curl over
I been had my boardies on, wave, James
Name a body of work bodying what I sold ya
Wax or digital, no whack subliminals
Ayy, Crook may bash you, that's the minimum
Demingo Gentlemen caballero, raps is habanero
Fact, my heart's below zero
Honey's be hard of hearing though, yo
I don't need to raise my voice, I left that shit in high school
I order ravioli from the pool, my golden rule
Is keep gold round the jewel, I push the envelope
Y'all follow the fool, why must I
Bury you on my album date
Bring a rapper with you too, make it an album date
Album's just chill on the shelf, you lookin' outta date
Some'in' like the dress code at Soundwave
GANT jumper go with the shoes, you Derrick
Uh, anthemic, authentic
Brad strutting through the mall with the summer aesthetic
I gets down, allow me to break it down so you get it, I'm gone
[Chorus: Jimmy Nice]
Everybody wanna get down, but when it's time to get down
They ain't never get down
Everybody wanna get down, but when it's time to get down
They ain't never get down (yo, fuck with me now)
Everybody wanna get down, but when it's time to get down
They ain't never get down
Everybody wanna get down, but when it's time to get down
They ain't never get down (yo, fuck with me now)
[Verse 2: Tuka]
I met my maker, tempted fate, she said to say
That yesterday is meant to change us
I let my faith infect my brain, reject the hate
Accept the pain, befriend a stranger
I like to think we live in perfect harmony
It's hard to see between the chaos
So I learnt to play God: Fibonacci
Peep the sequence, indeed it's sacred
Fuck with me now, I'll bring an army, my key
Is major, freak of nature, peel your face off
Muhammad Ali, I spar with demons
Unmask their secrets, read my seance
I wade the deep ends, heart on my sleeve
When I deal the aces angels keep askin' me
To teach them the artistry of ancients
But all I can say is fuck with me now
[Pre-Verse: Nick Lupi]
We tear it, we tear it down
In order to rebuild, uh
[Verse 3: Nick Lupi]
We comin' live from the wrong side of history
Licensed bigotry, white fragility
Mixed with that "Yeah, the boys" type masculinity
That's how they get down round here
But the real threat is at your doorstep
And it won't be callin' in no bomb threat
It's in the home, in the office, in the comments
It's every enemy of progress
I mean what you expect? Look at how some livin'
There are towns where the gun club look over the mission
So know your position, the bottom of a broken system
Killed in the watch house, still no conviction
What's hope when no one'll listen?
Enough to make you climb on top the roof of the prison
Commissioner yellin' "Get down!"
In order to rebuild gotta tear it down, check me out
[Chorus (Extended): Jimmy Nice]
Everybody wanna get down, but when it's time to get down
They ain't never get down, you see
Everybody wanna get down, but when it's time to get down
They ain't never get down
Everybody wanna get down, but when it's time to get down
They ain't never get down
Everybody wanna get down, but when it's time to get down
They ain't never get down (fuck with me now)
Everybody wanna get down, but when it's time to get down
They ain't never get down (that's how we get down)
Everybody wanna get down, but when it's time to get down
They ain't never get down (yo, fuck with me now)
Everybody wanna get down, but when it's time to get down
They ain't never get down
Everybody wanna get down, but when it's time to get down
They ain't never get down
[Outro: Jimmy Nice]
Yo, fuck with me now, woo
Get Down was written by Nick Lupi & Jimmy Nice & Tuka.
Spit Syndicate released Get Down on Fri May 11 2018.
Yes! To promote the then impending release of their fourth studio album, One Good Shirt Had Us All Fly, Spit Syndicate posted a video of Jimmy Nice spitting his verse acapella style on the 12th of April, 2017—almost exactly 13 months before this song was released.
