yo i was like “muma! muma! muma!
you can find papa drinking mai-tais
what you want all my ties? brown suede pradas?
walking through kingston with shatas

[rihanna]
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 [bad word] bum bum [bad word] bum bum [bad word] bum bum bum
man [bad word] bum bum [bad word] bum bum, [bad word] bum bum bum
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
in central station

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 fire arm
