Man Down - Shelly Sony

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

'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-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum

Man down

Rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum

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, why?

Oh, mama, mama, mama

I just shot a man down

In Central Station

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 firearm

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, ayy-uh

'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-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum

Man down

Rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum

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, why?

Oh, mama, mama, mama

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

In Central Station

Look, I’d never thought I’d do it

Never thought I’d do it

Never thought I’d do it, oh gosh

Whatever 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-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum

Mi say wah man down

A weh mi say

Rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum, rum-pum-pum-pum

When mi went downtown

'Cause now I am criminal, criminal, criminal

Oh Lord, oh mercy, now I am a criminal

Man down

Tell the judge please gimme minimal

Run outta town, none a dem can see mi now, see mi now

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
