Click highlighted lyrics to see their meaning

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 Could've 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
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
It's a 22, I call her Peggy Sue When she fits right down in my shoes What you expect me to do If you'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 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 Could've been somebody's son And I took his heart when I pulled out that gun
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/man-down-lyrics-rihanna.html ] 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
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
Look, I never thought I'd do it Never thought I'd do it Never thought I'd do it, oh gosh What ever 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 niggas life so soon When me pull the trigger, pull the trigger, pull it 'pon you Somebody tell me what I'm gonna, what I'm gonna do
Rum pa pa pum Rum pa pa pum Rum pa pa pum Me say wah man down (A weh me say) Rum pa pa pum Rum pa pa pum Rum pa pa pum When me went downtown
'Cause now I am a criminal, criminal, criminal Oh lord have mercy now I am a criminal Man down Tell the judge please give me minimal Run out of town, None of them can see me now, see me now
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

They say this song is stupid but "REAL TALK" she was letting YOU KNOW WHO know wasup... really the situation could've ended up real bad like her going in her shoe to get PEGGY SUE, and that would've gotten real ugly could've been somebody son...IJS....LOL.

Er... To all you people commenting on what she's talking about, do keep in mind Rihanna "DOES NOT" write her own lyrics... She's not Shontelle... This song is greatness, I'd like to meet the writer.
