Lyrics

Intro:
Pull the trigger
Pull the trigger
Pull the trigger
Boom
Verse 1:
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
Hook:
'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
Verse 2:
It’s a 22, I call her Peggy Sue
When she fits right down in my shoes
Whatchu 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, ayy-uh
Hook:
'Cause I didn't mean to hurt him
Coulda been somebody's son
And I took his heart when
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 (well, you hear me now)
Verse 3:
Said, I'd never coulda do it
Never coulda do it, never coulda do it
Oh gosh, what ever happened to me?
Ever happened to me, ever happened to me?
Why did I pull di trigger, pull di trigger, pull di trigger? Boom
And end a dude, end a dude life so soon
When me pull di trigger, pull di trigger, pull it pon you
Somebody tell me what I'm gonna, what I'm gonna do?
Bridge:
Rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum
Rum-pum-pum-pum
Me say one man down, a wah 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 a mercy, now I am a criminal, man down
Tell di judge please gimme minimal
Run out a town, none a dem can see me now, see me now
Hook (abridged):
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
(Well you hear me now)
