Man Down (Remix) (feat. Rihanna)

[eve:]

ay yo it all started with a simple conversation

everything was good until we had that altercation

screaming in my face he should have known i wouldn't take it

should have been long gone but the fighter in me faced it

i tried to calm him down really man i tried to save him

i even called his people like you better come and take him

you better come and get him 'fore he ends up on a table

fighting for his life or his, with a label

never put his hands on me again man life gone

and i never regret my whole life long

cause he did it to himself all the fault was his

i don't feel bad that's just what it is

should have known better speaking to me like a kid

should have just let it go, would have let him live

ha ha would have let him live



[hook - rihanna]

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 pa pa pum rum pa pa pum rum pa pa pum

man down

rum pa pa pum rum pa pa pum rum pa pa 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



[rihanna:]

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 they'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 its too late to turn back now

don't know what i was thinking

now he's no longer living

so imma bout to leave town



[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 pa pa pum rum pa pa pum rum pa pa pum

man down

rum pa pa pum rum pa pa pum rum pa pa 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
