Get Down

[Intro: Birdman & Lil Wayne]

Weezy

What up, pop? What up, pop?

Fuck what they heard, it's what they need to know, nigga

You feel, homie? (They sayin' C-A-R-T-E-R, yep)

Yeah, nigga, we done built this shit from the ground up now, homie (Believe that, daddyo)

It ain't no lookin' back from here, nigga (This ain't no New Jack City)

We gotta show 'em, nigga

[Chorus: Birdman & Lil Wayne]

And that's the only way we get down (We get down)

'Cause that's the only way we was taught (We was taught)

And everything we got, we bought (We bought)

And real niggas still shine in the dark (Still shine in the dark, yeah)

And that's the only way we get down (We get down)

And that's the only way we was taught (We was taught)

And everything we got, we bought (We bought)

And real niggas still shine in the dark (Still shine in the dark, fuck the law, oh)

'Cause that's the only way we get down

[Verse 1: Lil Wayne]

I down down a brother

We ain't cut from the same cloth, you Downy soft

Bullets separate your body, compound a busta

I'ma find you if you're hidin', I'm a bounty hunter

In your home puttin' dick all down your woman

You come home, we in the bedroom countin' money

I bring her home and I fuck her on a thousand hundreds

Then I shoot the nasty bitch in the mouth for nothin'

I say Birdman, Birdman, what's good today?

We ain't never let them niggas take our food away

And we recognize real and got a rude awakenin'

And woke up together and our life was better

I'm the Cash Money son, I live a life of cheddar

Not a rat, though, hat low, Nikes is leather

Lil' Mal twist two, get my life together

Your bitch meet me at the bar and we knife together, cut

[Chorus: Birdman & Lil Wayne]

And that's the only way we get down (We get down)

'Cause that's the only way we was taught (We was taught)

And everything we got, we bought (We bought)

And real niggas still shine in the dark (Still shine in the dark, yeah)

And that's the only way we get down (We get down)

And that's the only way we was taught (We was taught)

And everything we got, we bought (We bought)

And real niggas still shine in the dark (Still shine in the dark, fuck the law, oh)

'Cause that's the only way we get down

[Verse 2: Lil Wayne]

Throw my weight like Sherman Klump

I gotta hold up my estate like Donald Trump

And I aim kinda straight when it's time to pump

I bring the punk when it's time to pump

Wrapped around my waist like a cummerbund

Don't make a nigga pump— you up

I come in that new thing, she threw up

Now your bitch ass gotta clean your shoe up

I'm rich as fuck and I never blew up

Business mug, gotta get my loot up

Bet your bitch get fucked if I ever met her

Bet your ditch get dug if you ever step up

One by one, I push 'em down

Fat bullet, fat head make a pussy sound

Hard head, soft ass make a gushy ground

I'm straight from a crooked town, like that

[Chorus: Birdman & Lil Wayne]

And that's the only way we get down (We get down)

'Cause that's the only way we was taught (We was taught)

And everything we got, we bought (We bought)

And real niggas still shine in the dark (Still shine in the dark, yeah)

And that's the only way we get down (We get down)

And that's the only way we was taught (We was taught)

And everything we got, we bought (We bought)

And real niggas still shine in the dark (Still shine in the dark, fuck the law, oh)

'Cause that's the only way we get down

[Verse 3: Lil Wayne]

I'd give my arms and my legs to the game, I'm ahead of the game

I dead any man if he said anything

But it's cool, as long as nigga paid when he came in

I'm a fool wit the flame and the 'caine

Cut it just a little bit, but the drain stay the same, yeah

Young Wayne and the pain and the stain still remain

On my chest where the four made a mess, yes

I'm still here in the flesh, twenty-one-year-old legend, I'ma live way after my death

I sacrifice whatever that's left

I give y'all the last of my breath like—

Write it down, take a picture, record a copy

Press pause only way you stop me, fucker

I'ma get mine and make you knock me

Spit wine in your face if you watch me, bitch

[Chorus: Birdman & Lil Wayne]

And that's the only way we get down (We get down)

'Cause that's the only way we was taught (We was taught)

And everything we got, we bought (We bought)

And real niggas still shine in the dark (Still shine in the dark, yeah)

And that's the only way we get down (We get down)

And that's the only way we was taught (We was taught)

And everything we got, we bought (We bought)

And real niggas still shine in the dark (Still shine in the dark, fuck the law, oh)

'Cause that's the only way we get down

[Outro: Lil Wayne]

And that's the only way we gettin' down, nigga, Cash Money, CMB, man

You already know we here, never left, fucker

See me if you got a problem, boy

I'm at home all day, man

It's not a game

Stunna, what's really good with 'em?

We ain't never let 'em take our food away (I got it, yeah)

Fresh, you nasty on this one, dog

Ugh

Guess what? This is Tha Carter, bitch
