Rihanna always surprises me (and her fans, of course!) with her new single/video. She always has something NEW to share and show as well.

Blame it on my Cinemalaya 7 hangover for my artistic, er, indie-film-ish basis for liking this video. haha! Well, the video itself was a film-ish one since it's first few frames.

Oh! and I like the Congo-ish (whatever you call it) rhythm of the song. :) So here's the lyrics:

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  Could've 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 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 I'm 'bout to leave town  'Cause I didn't mean to hurt him  Could've 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  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 nigga, end a niggas life so soon  When me pull the trigger, pull the trigger, pull it 'pon you  Somebody tell me what I'm gonna, what I'm gonna do  Rum pa pa pum  Rum pa pa pum  Rum pa pa pum  Me say wah man down (A weh me say)  Rum pa pa pum  Rum pa pa pum  Rum pa pa pum  When me went downtown  'Cause now I am a criminal, criminal, criminal  Oh lord have mercy now I am a criminal  Man down  Tell the judge please give me minimal  Run out of town,  None of them can see me now, see me now  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
