[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 record 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
[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
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 it's 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
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
