Born in Barbados in the Caribbean Islands of America, Rihanna grew up as a normal island girl. In her childhood days, she won numerous beauty pageants and performed on several occasions with an undeveloped talent.

Her life changed forever when she was introduced to the CEO of Def Jam Records, Jay-z who turned her singing carrier into a dream reality.

"Man Down” is a hardcore reggae track on Rihanna’s seventh album, "Loud”, follow the lyrics below;

Song; Man Down
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

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
What do 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 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 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
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 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 ni**a end a ni**as life so soon
