Man Down - Intellectual

[Intro: VéFROMLA]

Yeah

Checko

[Verse 1: VéFROMLA]

Some of the homies got on and stopped answering they phones

When I see 'em they say hit me

When I hit 'em they be gone

Now I'm in another zone

I done changed area codes

Maxed the data on my phone

Real estate purchases and loans

Invested in some homes

But stay protected with my chrome

So if you step into my home

You leavin' naked with a hole

That's not the way it's supposed to go!

Trust and believe me I should know

I seen death before my eyes since I was seven years old

So any trust that I can hold is out the window, out the door

I never dug no type of hoe

You fall in love, you sell yo' soul

I keep a shovel for the growth

Keep it leveled out and balanced

Set my pride off to the side

Got my confidence on pallets

Y'all want punchlines and one liners

Never read the liner notes

Duck one time with a drumline

Got a drumstick like Roscoe

Always on target, Erving out the pocket

Run me my dough and all the proper player options

[Chorus: VéFROMLA]

Man on a mission

Y'all must be trippin'

I don't need no handouts

I'm livin' my ambitions

And it's gonna be a man down

If my name is mentioned

When yo' lips start to formin'

I'll be comin' 'round the corner

Like man down

I don't need no handouts

I said man down (man down)

Man down (look)

I don't need no handouts

I said man down

[Verse 2: Fresh]

Uh, played my position I'm just tryna be the man now

Unless you giving dap nigga tell me why yo hand out

They be like you rap nigga tell me how that pans out

Artists like groupies do anything for they fans now

Switch roles like channels turning remote controls

Take the game and I lock it like figure fours

Man down, I suppose

Got holes in his clothes, and blood all over the floors

Leave 'em leaking stinking for the

Jackson's, Franklin's, Grant's, and Lincoln's

Garfield, Munson to Lincoln

Top town, yeah I'm who they believe in

Move with precision, exec the decision

I'm a man like who you kidding

So sick had to chemo treat him

I'm a beast like who unleashed him

Boys a heathen, boy I'm feasting

Y'all look seasoned for no reason

Fuck Trump, I'm committing treason nigga

[Chorus: VéFROMLA]

Man on a mission

Y'all must be trippin'

I don't need no handouts

I'm livin' my ambitions

And it's gonna be a man down

If my name is mentioned

When yo' lips start to formin'

I'll be comin' 'round the corner

Like man down

I don't need no handouts

I said man down (man down)

Man down (look)

I don't need no handouts

I said man down

[Verse 3: Jet 2]

I don't need no handout to standout

I planned out a way to bring my fans out

The day I headlined and nobody came

I read lines from inside my brain

That said my time surely came

But I know time flies in a way

And I know time is tickin' with wings

And yo' pretty wings make me ticked

Would've loved yo' co-sign

But in yo' mind, I ain't shit

So when in no time, yo' bros find

This gold mine and roll by

Bumpin' me in the whip

Don't you act like you know me then

Bomb as a dynamite don't you sell me Napoleon

Oh now you tell me where to go

I take over yo' Poké gym

Thinkin' you was a hero

You wasn't a Goku then

'Cause when I was wishin' you would

You was kickin' me, Mokujin

Pilot through the obstacles

Jump through your jungle gym

While I'm formulatin' these sentences

Sent with emoji text

And I ain't lookin' for a fraction

You ain't even see the vision

I'm the new Miles Davis

I ain't even keepin' distance like

[Chorus: VéFROMLA]

Man on a mission

Y'all must be trippin'

I don't need no handouts

I'm livin' my ambitions

And it's gonna be a man down

If my name is mentioned

When yo' lips start to formin'

I'll be comin' 'round the corner

Like man down

I don't need no handouts

I said man down (man down)

Man down (look)

I don't need no handouts

I said man down
