Rihanna - Man Down lyrics

rate me

(Sak pasé!)

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 somebody's son

And I took his heart when

I pulled up that gun

Rompopopom rompopopom rompopopom

Man Down

Rompopopom rompopopom rompopopom

Man Down

Oh mama, mama, mama

I just shot a man down

In central station

In front of a big *owl* crowd

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

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

Dunno what I was thinking

Now he's no longer living

So imma 'bout to leave town

'Cause I didn't mean to hurt him

Coulda been somebody's son

And I took his heart when

I pulled up that gun

Rompopopom rompopopom rompopopom

Man Down

Rompopopom rompopopom rompopopom

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 mama, mama, mama

I just shot a man down (will you hear me now?)

In central station

Look I 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's life so soon

When I pull the trigger pull the trigger pull it on you

Somebody tell me what I'm gonna what I'm gonna do, eh

Rompopopom rompopopom rompopopom

They say one man down, oh lemme say

Rompopopom rompopopom rompopopom

When me went downtown

'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 a dem 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

Oh... Why...

Oh mama, mama, mama

I just shot a man down

In central station
