For the first single off his upcoming “Denied” EP, Anik Khan goes across the pond to bring UK drill to New York City. He teams up with UK-based singer/songwriter Nish and frequent collaborator Haile Supreme for the DJ LYAN produced banger.
[Intro: Anik Khan]
(Foreign)
Ooh, think this might get messy, don't let it be you
You know I get petty, what they gon' do?
Twenty-four hour lockdown, it hit the news
They heard all about it
[Verse 1: Anik Khan]
(Mmm) Bad ting here and we're laying out, watching on top, boy
(Mmm-mmm) Fifty K straight to the bank if they wanna hear me talk, boy (Safe, safe)
Ain't no lies in my rap, got a café, now it's on the tabloids
New York Times, shit blew my mind, now the chai on tap for the bad boys (Yeah)
[Chorus: Anik Khan & Nish]
(Mmm) Man down, man down
Never back out, gotta act out
Man down, put that pressure, pass out
Count it up, put it in the bag now
Brown man, airport, pat down (Yeah)
(Mmm) Man down, pull up with the ting, don't back down
Twenty in the cut, no crackdown
You could say less, it's a wrap now
(Mmm-mmm) Man down, man have never left from the back house
Twenty in the cut, no crackdown
You could say less, it's a wrap now (Sheesh)
[Verse 2: Anik Khan]
Pull up in the, pull up in the Audi
Liquor got me leaning in the foreign like it's Saudi
Told my girl to whip it, I ain't tryna go to county
You know I got way too much to lose, it ain't about me, I tell her like
[Bridge: Nish & Anik Khan]
Ooh, think this might get messy, don't let it be you
You know I get petty, what they gon' do?
Twenty-four hour lockdown, it hit the news
They heard all about it, all about it
Ooh, think this might get messy, don't let it be you
You know I get petty, what they gon' do?
Twenty-four hour lockdown, it hit the news
They heard all about it, to the pat down
[Chorus: Anik Khan & Nish]
Man down, man down
Never back out, gotta act out
Man down, put that pressure, pass out
Count it up, put it in the bag now
Brown man, airport, pat down (Yeah)
(Mmm) Man down, pull up with the ting, don't back down
Twenty in the cut, no crackdown
You could say less, it's a wrap now
(Mmm-mmm) Man down, man have never left from the back house
Twenty in the cut, no crackdown
You could say less, it's a wrap now (Sheesh)
[Verse 2: Haile Supreme]
Lord, have mercy, Lord, have mercy
Cah dem a wasteman, they're not worthy
We got customers at customs knocking like concussions
Taking orders, crossing borders, but we don't discuss it
You know we've never been the same, I'm everything you wasn't
Now I only pay attention if they got a budget
[Chorus: Anik Khan]
(Mmm-mmm) Man down, man down
Never back out, gotta act out
Man down, put that pressure, pass out
Count it up, put it in the bag now
Brown man, airport, pat down
