Man Down Lyrics - Loud - Rihanna

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 'fore 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 somebody's son 

And I took his heart when 

I pulled out that gun 

Rum bum bum bum, rum bum bum bum, rum bum bum bum 

Man Down! 

Rum bum bum bum, rum bum bum bum, rum bum bum bum 

Man Down!

Oh, mama, mama, mama 

I just shot a man down in central station 

In front of a big ol' crowd 

Oh, why? Oh, why? 

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 

Whatchu expect me to do? 

If you're playin' 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 'bout to leave town, aye uh

'Cause I didn't mean to hurt him 

Coulda been somebody's son 

And I took his heart when 

I pulled out that gun 

Rum bum bum bum, rum bum bum bum, rum bum bum bum 

Man Down! 

Rum bum bum bum, rum bum bum bum, rum bum bum bum 

Man Down! 

Oh, mama, mama, mama 

I just shot a man down in central station 

In front of a big ol' crowd 

Oh, why? Oh, why? 

Oh, mama, mama, mama 

I just shot a man down (criminal) in central station 

Said, "I'd never thought I'd do it 

Never thought I'd do it, never thought I'd do it 

Oh Gosh, what ever happened to me 

Ever happened to me, ever happened to me? 

Why did I pull the trigger, pull the trigger, pull the trigger? Boom 

And end a nigga, end a nigga life so soon? 

When mi pull the trigger, pull the trigger, pull it pon' you 

Somebody tell me what I'm gonna, what I'm gonna do? Eh 

Rum bum bum bum, rum bum bum bum, rum bum bum bum

'Cause now I am a criminal, criminal, criminal 

Oh, lorda mercy, now I am a criminal 

Man Down, tell the judge, please gimme minimal 

Run outta town, none a dem can see mi now, see mi now 

Oh, mama, mama, mama 

I just shot a man down in central station 

In front of a big ol' crowd 

Oh, why? Oh, why? 

Oh, mama, mama, mama 

I just shot a man down in central station
