Rihanna – Man Down

Man Down lyrics

I didn’t mean to end this 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

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

Could’ve 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

Old crowd

Oh why?

Oh why?

Oh mama,

Mama,

Mama

I just

Shot a man down

It’s a twenty two

I call her Peggy Sue

When she fits

Right down in my shoes

What 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

’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

Old crowd

Oh why?

Oh why?

Oh, mama,

Mama,

Mama

I just

Shot a man down

And 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 niggas 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, hey

Rum bum bum bum,

Rum bum bum bum,

Rum bum bum bum

Me say wah man down

A wah me say

Rum bum bum bum,

Rum bum bum bum,

Rum bum bum bum,

When me went downtown

’Cause now I am a

Criminal,

Criminal,

Criminal

Oh lord have mercy

Now I am a criminal

Man down

Tell the judge please,

Give me minimal

Run out of town, none of them

Can see me now

Oh mama,

Mama,

Mama,

I just

Shot a man down

In central station

In front of a big

Old crowd

Oh why?

Oh why?

Oh mama,

Mama,

Mama

I just

Shot a man down

In central station.
