Man down Songtext
von Vianney

C′est Rihanna
Ca me fait cet effet-là

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, oh-oh

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
Could have been somebody′s son
And I took his heart when
I pulled out that gun


Rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum
Man down
Rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum
Man down

Mama, mama, mama
I just shot a man down
In central station
In front of a big old crowd
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
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 do you expect me to do
If you′re playing me for a fool
I will lose my cool
And reach for my fire arm


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 about to leave town, eh

′Cause I didn't mean to hurt him
Could been somebody′s son
And I took his heart when
I pulled out that gun

Rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum
Man down
Rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum
Man down

Mama, mama, mama
I just shot a man down
In central station
In front of a big old crowd
Ooh-ooh, oh why
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh, mama, mama, mama
I just shot a man down
In Central Station

I'd never thought I′d do it
Never thought I'd do it
Never thought I′d do it, oh gosh
Whatever happened to me?
Whatever happened to me?
Whatever happened to me?
Why did I pull the trigger, pull the trigger
Pull the trigger, boom
And end, end a nigga life so soon?
When I pull the trigger, pull the trigger

Pull it pon' you
Somebody tell me what I'm gonna, what I′m gonna do? Eh
Rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum
Mi say wah man down
A weh mi say
Rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum
When me went downtown
′Cause now I am criminal, criminal, criminal
Oh Lord, oh mercy, now I am a criminal
Man down
Tell the judge please gimme minimal
Run outta town, none a dem can see me now, now, now, now
Now, now, ah-ah-ah

Ooh-ooh, oh why
Ooh-oh-oh-oh
Mama Mama Mama
I just shot a man down
In central station
