Man Down lyrics

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 ba...rs

What started out
as a simple altercation
turned into a real
sticky situation

Me just thinking
all the time
that I'm facing
makes me wanna cry

'Cause I didn't mean
to hurt him
coulda been
somebodies son

And I took his heart when
I pulled out that gun
rum pa-pa pum
rum pa-pa pum
rum pa-pa pum

Man down
rum pa-pa pum
rum pa-pa pum
rum pa-pa pum

Man down
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

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 Imma 'bout to
leave town hey up

'Cause I didn't mean
to hurt him
coulda been
somebodies son

And I took his heart when
I pulled out that gun
rum pa-pa pum
rum pa-pa pum
rum pa-pa pum

Man down
rum pa-pa pum
rum pa-pa pum
rum pa-pa pum

Man down
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

Look I 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 ni**a
end a ni**as life so soon
when I pull the trigger
pull the trigger
pull it up on you

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

Rum pa-pa pum
Rum pa-pa pum
Rum pa-pa pum
me say one man down

And me say
Rum pa-pa pum
Rum pa-pa pum
Rum pa-pa pum
and they 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 on the
Grand Seminal Seminal

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
