This funk 'n' roll track finds Gambino singing from the perspective of a rioter. Everyone, everyone! Get down, baby, get down, baby Fly, fly, fly, high Gambino is in a dangerous situation and he urges other nearby to "get down" while he lobs missiles at those attempting to quell the riot.
Most of the songs on Awaken, My Love! call back the sounds and themes of funk music pioneers Sly Stone and George Clinton. Indeed, when titling this cut it could be assumed that Gambino had the 1971 Sly & the Family Stone album There's a Riot Goin' On in mind.
This contains the only sample on Awaken, My Love! lifting the groove from Funkadelic's "Good to Your Earhole."
