Man Down - RIHANNA

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
'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

[Verse 2]
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 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, aye-uh

[Pre-Chorus]
'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
(Criminal) In central station

[Bridge]
Look, 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
Mi say wah man down
A weh mi say
Rum-bum-bum-bum, rum-bum-bum-bum, rum-bum-bum-bum
When mi went downtown
'Cause now I'mma criminal, criminal, criminal
Oh Lord, a mercy
Now I am a criminal
Man down
Tell the judge please gimme minimal
Run out a town, none a dem cah see mi 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
