Man Down

Sak Pasé

I didn't mean to end his life

I know it wasn't right

I can't even sleep at night

I 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-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 old crowd

Oh why, oh why?

Oh, mama, mama, mama

I just shot a man down

In central station

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 playin' 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

Yeah

'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-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 old crowd

Oh why, oh why?

Oh, mama, mama, mama

I just shot a man down (well hear me now)

In central station

Look 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 nigga life so soon

When me pull the trigger, pull the trigger, pull it on you

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

Rum-pum-pum-pum

Rum-pum-pum-pum

Rum-pum-pum-pum

Me say one man down

Oh, let me say

Rum-pum-pum-pum

Rum-pum-pum-pum

Rum-pum-pum-pum

When me went downtown

'Cause now I'm a criminal, criminal, criminal

Oh Lord, oh, 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, 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
