Man Down

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 out 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

Oh mama, mama, mama

I just shot a man down

in central station

in front of a big ol' crowd

why? why?

Oh mama mama mama

I just shot a man down

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?, ehh

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

pull the trigger and end life so soon

when me pull the trigger, pull the trigger, pull it pon' you

somebody tell me what I'm gonna, what I'm gonna do? Ehh

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

me say one man down

ah wah me say?

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

when me went downtown

Oh mama, mama, mama
