The Get Down

Story Behind The Song

I thought the track Gino had was simply bombay. Gerald had a little Ernie Isley thing going on with the guitar. I just had to rock it with some nice lyrics. The lyrics are simple, to the point, and concise. It is actually a companion song with "Hit It!" In that song I'm telling the subject at the end. "I just want to get down with you." This song is the prelude song to "hit it!" This song is what I sing to her in the club when I first see her and we make that connection. I sing that one after she's already at my place. This song was fun putting it together. My brother Steve sang backing vocals with me. XO and Shake ripped through the rhymes with perfection. I love what they do. Overall I want this song to really just rock the crowd and get them to feelin' me in the club. You can't ignore the clubs can you? Hell No!!!

Song Description

The song is an ode to the spiritual, sensual, one night stand with the girl of a lifetime. Even though she ain't a ho. You get a chance to act like she is and she doesn't mind this particular evening because the Universe grants you both permission. If she accepts my invitation it will be no holds barred after an evening of gettin' crunk on the dance floor.

Lyrics

Background Intro

I really, really want to get down
I really, really want to get down
I really, really want to get down
I really, really want to get down with you

Verse

From the very first time I saw you
You were looking kind of tight
tight dress (tight dress)
with the back out (back out)
lookin' kind of fine
I knew I had to be the one
who would take you home tonight
and break you off some Universe Soul
and show you a good time
I want to get down

Chorus

I really, really want to get down
I really, really want to get down
I really, really want to get down
I really, really want to get down with you

Repeat

Gino's rap

Chorus

Verse II

Clap one time if you feelin' me
2 times to be sure
Clap three times if you want me
then you got to give me four
Honey it's the way you shake your dunk
and it's the way you flow
just freak me (frweak me)
in the right way (right way)
and give me a piece of your soul
I want to get down

Chorus

Young Sheakespeare's rap
