Man Down lyrics by B Young
[Intro]
Yeah
Explanation of Intro
“Yeah” A simple introduction to set the tone for the song.
[Verse 1]
Baby, sexy, no sexy, not enough to describe you (Ey)
The way you get down, you get me up, there’s no other like you
Got me bitin’, I’m bitin’ on my lip
Girl, you got me infected like virus
Oh, you sweet like revenge, gyal, you violent
And you comin’ so loud when you’re silent
Explanation of Verse 1
“Baby, sexy, no sexy, not enough to describe you (Ey) The way you get down, you get me up, there’s no other like you Got me bitin’, I’m bitin’ on my lip Girl, you got me infected like virus Oh, you sweet like revenge, gyal, you violent And you comin’ so loud when you’re silent” The singer starts by expressing that the word “sexy” isn’t sufficient to capture his lover’s allure. He describes her effect on him—her presence and actions excite him profoundly. The metaphors “infected like virus” and “sweet like revenge” highlight the intensity and complexity of his feelings.Her hush talks volumes, showing a profound, conceivably riotous association.

You make me your enemy
When you aimed at me

“You make me your enemy When you aimed at me” The pre-chorus suggests that their relationship has a confrontational aspect, with the lover metaphorically “aiming” at the singer, making him feel like an enemy despite the intimacy.
[Chorus]
Girl, you got a man down, man down, man down, ooh
Girl, you got a man down, man down, man down (Aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, yeah)
Everybody stay down, stay down, stay down, oh
Girl, you got a man down, man down, man down (Aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, yeah)
Explanation of Chorus
“Young lady, you got a man down, man down, man down, ooh Young lady, you got a man down, man down, man down (Aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, definitely) Everyone remain down, remain down, remain down, gracious Young lady, you got a man down, man down, man down (Aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, aie, yeah)”The refrain allegorically depicts the lover’s overpowering affect on the artist. The phrase “man down” is used to signify that she has emotionally or perhaps even physically overpowered him. The repeated “aie” and “yeah” add a rhythmic and emphatic emphasis to this sentiment.
[Verse 2]
Baby, beauty, no beauty, not enough to describe you
Girl, the body, the party that I need an invite to
I see you fightin’, you’re fightin’, don’t hide it
Show me what you’ve been holding in private
When you walk in, you switch off the climate
When you let off the heat and ignite it, hmm
Explanation of Verse 2

He sees her as captivating and overwhelming, comparing her nearness to a party he yearns to go to. He recognizes her inside battles and energizes her to uncover her genuine self. Her nearness changes the environment, warming things up with her concentrated.

The chorus repeats, further emphasizing the powerful effect the lover has on the singer.
[Verse 3]
Baby, what’s on your mind when we met?
Innocent, better think again
Gyal, you good with them lips, call it intellect (Aie)
Internet, we can reconnect
You got a sweet tooth, I got a sweeter tooth
Sweet juice, I’m tryna eat the fruit
And, gyal, I still can’t get away from you
I got my hands in the air, so don’t shoot

He suggests that there was more to her than innocence. He admires her conversational skills and suggests reconnecting online. The sensual imagery of “sweet tooth” and “sweet juice” indicates his desire and attraction. Despite the intensity, he feels captivated and submits to her influence, asking her not to “shoot,” metaphorically surrendering to her power.
[Chorus]
Girl, you got a man down, man down, man down, ooh

In front of a big old crowd
Oh-oh, why? Oh, why?
Mama, mama, she just shot a man down
Explanation of Outro
“Mama, mama, she just shot a man down in Central Station In front of a big old crowd Oh-oh, why? Oh, why? Mama, mama, she just shot a man down”The outro shifts to a dramatic, almost narrative conclusion.
