Lyrics Man Down (Live Recording for Redbull Soundclash 2012 - Lotto Arena Antwerp) - Triggerfinger

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 bars
What started out as a simple altercation
Turned into a real sticky situation
Me just thinking on the time 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

Mama, mama, I just shot a man down
In Central Station
In front of a big ol' crowd
Oh, why?
Ooh
Mama, mama
I just shot a man down

It's a twenty-two, 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 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

'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

Mama, mama, I just shot a man down
In Central Station
In front of a big ol' crowd
Oh, why?
Ooh
Mama, mama, I just shot a man down, ay

Look, I'd never thought I'd do it
Never thought I'd do it
Never thought I'd do it
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 I pull the trigger, pull the trigger, pull it pon' you
Somebody tell me what, what I'm gonna, gonna, gonna do?

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

Mama, mama, I just shot a man down
In Central Station
Oh, why?
Ooh
Mama, mama
I just shot a man down

Come on
