Spanish term or phrase: nos vamos a poner activos

I would like to know the best translation of this phrase from Dominican Spanish into American English.

It's a translation of a phone conversation between two Dominican People living in The US. Is okay to translate it as "we are going to become active or we will be active?

Here is the full sentence and the context:

Ok, nos vamos a poner activos, pasa por aquí a ponerte.. [aaah traer] ese papeleo, mira mi amor. Yo hago lo que tú quieras, Yo se todos mis derechos, te digo, a mi no me pueden botar por eso.
