He didn't have to end his life
We know it wasn't right
Because what if he was white
He shot him from behind
Cause his hands were out of sight
Who should be behind bars?
What started out as a crossing intersection
Turned into a real fatal situation
We've been thinking all this time that these actions just get by
Cause not only has he hurt him
But he's killed somebody's son
And he took his life when
He 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, shot him, shot him, shot him
He just shot a man down at the occasion
In front of a missing crowd
Oh, why? Oh, why?
Oh, shot him, shot him, shot him,
He just shot a man down at the occasion
What we really do is say it isn't true
But if a white was in his shoes
Would you expect them to just treat him like a fool?
And then just lose their cool, and reach for their fire arm
Too many black men have been laid down
And it's too late to turn back now
Society has been thinking
And they're no longer living
So I'm bout to leave town, aye-uh
Cause not only has he hurt him
But he's killed somebody's son
And he took his life when
He 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, shot him, shot him, shot him
He just shot a man down at the occasion
In front of a missing crowd
Oh, why? Oh, why?
Oh, shot him, shot him, shot him,
He just shot a man down at the occasion
