About Let's Get Down

"Let's Get Down" is a song by American rapper Bow Wow, released on June 24, 2003 as the first single off his third album Unleashed (2003). The song was written by Shad Moss, Phalon Alexander, Rahman Griffin and a then-unknown T. I.. It was produced by Jazze Pha and features rapper Birdman under his former alias "Baby". It's the first song to be released by Bow Wow without the "Lil'" moniker in his name after making his film debut in 2002's Like Mike and releasing his cover of "Basketball" for the film's soundtrack. Bow Wow said that following the name change, he wanted to do the same with his music by contributing more into the songwriting process of the album and release a single that matched his new image. "Let's Get Down" garnered a positive reception from critics who credited Bow Wow for displaying some maturity in his music. It peaked at number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100, his highest charting single on that chart until 2005's "Like You" and "Let Me Hold You". It also peaked at numbers 6, 8 and 12 on the Hot Rap Songs, Rhythmic Top 40 and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts respectively. A music video by Bryan Barber was made to promote the single that features Bow Wow getting his driver's license.

Telling all her friends in the Benz

Couldn't believe when I seen 
How she squeezed in them jeans
Looks like a tight situation
Make a young man make flight reservations
Just step, no intimidation's
I'm bow wow boo
Accept no imitations
Should have seen the looks on they faces
The Ice plus light, makes for good conversation
You telling me
It's a felony, to yell at me
I blew her mind she was dazed momentarily
But luckily
She stayed for some therapy
I stay pimping heavily
My game spitting thoroughly(ha ha ha)
