Che cosa significa "get low-down" ?

"I think I'm gonna move to California
(I think it's time to move)
Momma, can you say a prayer for me?
(Say a prayer for me)
I heard they don't get so low-down <--------------------
(All my friends get so low-down) <--------------------
I heard they never bleed
Not like we bleed"
The Gaslight Anthem - Get Hurt

I've found this:
get the lowdown = "To receive or find out specific or comprehensive details about someone, something, or some situation."
https://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/get+the+lo...

And there is an attempt to explain it on genius.com:
"Perhaps a reference to the belief that the “Hollywood lifestyle” and those living it California appear glamorous, but are actually quite shallow and hollow."

But I still can don't get what "I heard they don't get so low-down" mean.
