Down Lyrics

[Intro]
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy

[Chorus: Chris Brown]
I wanna get down, down, down, down (Hey, hey)
Down, down, down (Hey, hey)
Get down (Ayy, ayy)
We can get down (Ayy, ayy)

[Verse 1: Kanye West]
Uh, Mr. West is in the building, children, ladies
Call the shrink up, they about to go crazy
Hold your drinks up like you was celebratin'
Hold your guns if they is hella hatin'
I'm so clean and them, they got rabies
I can see it through the lens of my Raybe-
Ans, Wayfarers, mmm-hmm
'Ye do you play fair? Mmm-mmm
Grab your remote for the reason they made TiVo
Snap the Nikons at the icon with Nikes on
I heard you like to do it with the lights on
But I really make babies when the mic's on
Check out all my kids, that bought all my cribs
Got me out of that apartment, you have got to pardon him
I am so retarded with a spit like a retarded kid that spits
Oops, I ain't mean to say that ****
I told my homie Chris, these chicks is dangerous
You need a girl that's A-List, not one that just barely made it on a list
'Cause from wall to wall, we got it poppin' right now
It's a hundred girls, tryna get down, down, down

See Chris Brown Live

Get tickets as low as $31

[Verse 2: Chris Brown]
Baby girl, gotta tell you
Seen you somewhere before, you look familiar
You had a red shirt, Gucci slacks, and a Gucci bag to match it
Tell me you remember that, baby girl
But, lady, never mind that
Can I take you out later? And here's my contact
Can you do me this favor? Let me spend this paper
On you 'cause it's just sitting and let's spend it and go

[Pre-Chorus: Chris Brown]
Let me, let me
Guarantee, guarantee
I'll make your da-a-ay
Okay

[Chorus: Chris Brown]
I wanna get down, down, down, down (Hey, hey, get down)
Down, down, down (Hey, hey, get down)
Get down (Ayy, ayy, woah-oh)
We can get down (Ayy, ayy, down)

[Verse 3: Chris Brown]
The way I see it, girl, you a perfect ten
That's why I'm all on you, baby, you got me wondering
What to do, what to say, don't want to come off lame
Girl, do you got a man? Better yet, girl, what's your name?

[Pre-Chorus: Chris Brown]
Just let me, let me, guarantee, guarantee
I'll make your da-a-ay, okay
Now if you with it, shawty, shawty, let me, let me
Take your bad away, baby, can we dream, just for today?

[Chorus: Chris Brown]
I wanna get down, down, down, down (Hey, hey, not even crazy, gotta get down)
Down, down, down (Hey, hey, down)
Get down (Ayy, ayy, oh)
We can get down (Ayy, ayy, we can get down)
I wanna get down, down, down, down (Hey, hey, get down)
Down, down, down (Hey, hey, down)
Get down (Ayy, ayy, hey)
We can get down (Ayy, ayy, oh, baby)
Down, down, down, down (Hey, hey, not even crazy, gotta get down)
Down, down, down (Hey, hey, down)
Get down (Ayy, ayy, woah-oh)
We can get down (Ayy, ayy, down)
I wanna get down, down, down, down (Hey, hey, oh, baby, baby, baby, please)
Down, down, down (Hey, hey, get down)
Get down (Ayy, ayy)
We can get down (Ayy, ayy)

[Outro: Chris Brown]
To all my ladies, sexy ladies (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
I wanna get down with y'all (Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy)
