Rihanna Man Down

Rihanna Pulling the Trigger

''I didn't mean to end his life, I know it wasn't right [......]. What started out as a simple altercation, Turned into a real sticky situation [.....] Cause I didn't mean to hurt him', Coulda been somebodies son, And I took his heart when I pulled out that gun

Man Down

Rum bum bum [...] Man Down, Oh mama mama mama
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'' 

Rihanna being attacked

''Why did I pull the trigger [...] And end a ni**a end a ni**as life so soon
When mi pull the trigger pull the trigger pull it pon you
Somebody tell me what im gonna what im gonna do?''


''Oh Why Oh Why
Oh mama mama mama
I just shot a man down
In central station''

I could only open this the best way i could with the Lyrics that resonate in my heart - This song has to be one of my favorites from the Loud album as it has so much heart and the traditional reggae vibe just seals the deal. Rihanna has now 'shot' the visual to the eagerly anticipated 'Man Down' video. Rihanna does not fail by opening the video with her shooting a man down, Then taking the story backwards to help illustrate why she did what she did.

The theme of this video is left open to interpretation and you can only assume in this video Rihanna is a rape victim and this has resulted in her taking a mans life. Rihanna goes out for a night out and dances with a local guy and maybe it could be construed that she 'led him on' (That's the defence in court). My point being regardless of a female wearing provocative clothing or dancing in a sexy way NO IS NO!!

Personally speaking any female who has been a victim of Rape or Domestic Violence could relate to this song as it makes you wonder how from leading a normal life you then carry out such a extreme act which is 1000% out of character. But as Keri Hilson nicely put it 'Every women has a breaking point yall'. 

'Why you never took the advice of your mother, when she warned you about a particular guy!!!
