get in trouble for you

Is this natural and if so what does it mean?

I'm not going to get in trouble for you.

Thanks

I'm not going to get in (to) trouble for you. It means that I am not going to help you if it might cause trouble for me. This is most likely to be said when the other person did something bad, even illegal, and then wants you to help him escape the consequences of his act.
