I didn’t mean to end his life, I know Itt wasn’t right
I can’t even sleep at night
Can’t get it out 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
mMe just thinking of the time
That I’m facin makes me wanna cry

Cuz I didn’t mean to hurt him,
Coulda been somebody’s son
And I took his heart when
I pulled out that gun
Brum babababum.

But it’s too late to turn back now.
Don’t know what i was thining,
