MAN DOWN

[Verse 1]

I didn't mean to end his life thumb|300px|rightI know it wasn't right

I cant even sleep at night

Cant 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 im facing

Makes me wanna cry

[Hook]

Cause I didn't mean to hurt him

Coulda been somebody's son

And I took his heart when

I pulled up 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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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 bout to leave town

[Hook]

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

[Chorus]

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 (Can you hear me now)

[Bridge]

Say 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 ni**a end a ni**a 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, yeah

Rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum

Rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bumm rum bum bum bum

When me went downtown

Cause now I'mma criminal criminal criminal

Oh lord a mercy now I am a criminal

Run out of town none a dem can't see me now, see me now

[Chorus]

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
