Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yellow tape on the block
Whole hood holdin’ breath
Blue lights cut the dark
Same place, same mess
Boots on the pavement
Eyes on the corner
Everybody seen it
Nobody know the order
One shot rang out
Then the silence fell heavy
Mama on the porch
Hands shook, not steady
Names gettin’ whispered
Like the wind might tell
One minute you up
Next minute you fell
[Pre-Chorus]
Rats run fast
When the night get hot
Cold chain snap
Then the whole scene stop
Heart go thump
When the cruisers swing in
Everybody talk
But nobody sing
[Chorus]
Man down, man down
Keep that distance now
Man down, man down
Whole block quiet down
Yellow tape, yellow tape
Cut that corner off
Man down, man down
And the truth come soft
[Verse 2]
Shells by the curb
And the smoke gone thin
Mother on her knees
Tryna call him in
Street got memory
It don’t let go
Every step you take
Got the past below
Rats run fast
When the lights hit bright
Thunder in the chest
Then the whole world tight
Vest up, boots laced
Still that fear stay close
Everybody tough
Till the sirens ghost
[Pre-Chorus]
Rats run fast
When the night get hot
Cold chain snap
Then the whole scene stop
Heart go thump
When the cruisers swing in
Everybody talk
But nobody sing
[Chorus]
Man down, man down
Keep that distance now
Man down, man down
Whole block quiet down
Yellow tape, yellow tape
Cut that corner off
Man down, man down
And the truth come soft
[Bridge]
No win in the smoke
No crown in the dirt
One call too late
And it all just hurt
Kids on the steps
Learn fear by sight
Whole hood go still
When the dark takes light
[Chorus]
Man down, man down
Keep that distance now
Man down, man down
Whole block quiet down
Yellow tape, yellow tape
Cut that corner off
Man down, man down
And the truth come soft

Style
Drill rap with half-time 140 BPM bounce, sliding 808s, tense rim clicks, and clipped snare rolls; verse rides sparse bass and cold piano stabs, pre-chorus tightens with siren-like synth swells, chorus hits in blunt chant form with group echoes. Lead vocal stays gritty and close-mic, with doubled hook lines, short ad-lib throws, and a tense mix that feels dark, wide, and street-level; tape hiss and reverse rises bridge section changes between lines., rap
