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 bum bum bum rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum Man Down Rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum Man Down
