"Come correct" is an idiom originating in black American slang --roughly meaning do something right. Basically the narrator is challenging his friend's antagonists to provide solid proof instead of vague accusations.
When I first heard this song, I assumed Sydney was a woman, but a close reading of the lyrics suggests a male childhood friend who has been accused of an unspecified crime. The song rather sounds to me as if Sydney might actually be guilty, despite Brett's vigorous defense of him.
I'm fascinated by the question of what the crime was, and whether it's based on a true story --but haven't found any answers. Great song regardless.
