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 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 22 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 about 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
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
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 nigga, end a nigga's life so soon When I 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 They say one man down (A weh me say) Rum pum pum pum rum pum Pum pum rum pum pum pum And I ran downtown
Cause now I'm criminal, criminal, criminal Oh lord a mercy now I am a criminal Man down Tell the judge please gimme minimal Run out a town on the Grand Seminal, Seminal
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
