Man Down (The Four Performance)
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
Could've been somebody's son
And I took his heart when
I pulled out that gun
Rum, 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 22
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 (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 ol' crowd
Oh, why? Oh, why?
Oh, mama, mama, mama
I just shot a man down (criminal)
In central station
Pull the trigger, pull the trigger, pull the trigger – boom
Pull the trigger, pull the trigger pull the trigger– boom
Pull the trigger, pull the trigger pull it 'pon you
Somebody tell me what I'm gonna, what I'm gonna do
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
Pull the trigger, pull the trigger, pull the trigger – boom
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

And I took his heart when

Rum, 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
