"Hands down, man's down" means that if a boxer if fighting with his hands down, he's going to get knocked out (man's down). Some people inaccurately credit this expression to Delonte West. But anyone with ANY knowledge of rap music (not to be confused with hip hop), knows Method Man fathered the use of this saying in pop culture in 1996 on Redman's "Do What Ya Feel."
"You catch cal when you browse through my X-files,
who be next now
Man's down, hands down (i.e. hands down, man's down)
Foreground by your side when it go down..."

They can try to knock the confidence out of a guy, beat him up PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY, but he will keep on getting up, basically the quote "fall down 7 times, stand up 8"
No one can keep a good man down.
Good always prevails over evil , whether the people are jealous or envious of the person, they will never keep him down

For example, if one friend from a crew is seperated but has a good clean heart and he starts loving a girl, he might be seperated from his 'crew' but they're the ones who change NOT the person. They can knock him down and drain his confidence but no one can keep a good man down, he'll keep on getting up and be in their faces

Mary and John were happily married with three kids, John had many business trips he had to go on so he was not at home often. John's "business" trips included long nights in hotels with strange men involving sexual encounters. Years later Mary found out she was HIV positive and couldn't figure out why. John was a man on the down low.
DMX has sex with men but know one knows about it. He is a man on the down low.

(v.) To kick a man when he's down is to attack at the persons weakest moment. It defies the gentlemanly code of ethics, and does detract from reputation. Used literally or figuratively, it still has pretty much the same meaning.
