Man Down

Rihanna [Explicit Content]

Man Down (Original Version)

I didn't mean to end his life
I know it wasn't right
I can't even sleep at night
Can’t get it off my mind
I need to get out of sight
Before I end up behind bars

What started out as a simple altercation
Turned into a real sticky situation
Me just thinking on the time that I'm facing
Makes me wanna cry

Cause I didn't mean to hurt him
Coulda been somebodie’s son
And I took his heart when
I pulled out that gun

Chorus :
Brum pa-pa-pum (x3)
Man down
Brum pa-pa-pum (x3)
Man down

Oh Mama, Mama, Mama
I just shot a man down
In Central Station
In front of a big ol' crowd
Whyyy, whyyy
Oh Mama, Mama, Mama
I just shot a man down
In Central Station

It's a 22
I call her Peggy Sue
When she fits right down in my shoes
What d'you expect me to
Do if they're playing me for a fool
I will lose my cool
And reach for my firearm

I didn't mean to lay him down
But it’s too late to turn back now
Don't know what I was thinking
Now he's no longer living
So I'm 'bout to leave town, eh

Cause I didn't mean to hurt him
Coulda been somebodie’s son
And I took his heart when
I pulled out that gun

Chorus

Oh Mama, Mama, Mama
I just shot a man down
In Central Station
In front of a big ol' crowd
Whyyy, whyyy
Oh Mama, Mama, Mama
I just shot a man down
In Central Station

But do you hear me now?
Said I never thought I'd do it
Never thought I'd do it (x3)
Oh gosh
What ever happened to me
Ever happened to me (x3)
Why did I pull de trigger
Pull de trigger (x2)
BOOM
And end a ni**a end a ni**as life so soon
When me pull de trigger
Pull de trigger
Pulled it 'pon you
Somebody tell me what I'm gonna
What I'm gonna do, eh
Brum pa-pa-pum (x3)
Me say one man down
Oh when me say
Brum pa-pa-pum (x3)
When me went down town
Cause now I am a criminal, criminal, criminal
Oh Lord oh mercy now I am a criminal
Man down
Tell the judge please give me minimal
Run out of town none of them can see me now, see me now

Oh Mama, Mama, Mama
I just shot a man down
In Central Station
In front of a big ol' crowd
Whyyy, whyyy
Oh Mama, Mama, Mama
I just shot a man down
In Central Station
