“Man Down (Bang)” é uma canção da cantora brasileira Wylla Gomez gravada para ser a música carro chefe do seu álbum debut Bang. Foi composta e produzida por Shama Joseph, com auxílio na escrita por Shontelle Layne e Wylla Gomez. A música explorou um novo estilo de música para o álbum talvez seja o ponto alto do disco, uma música reggae de pleno direito sobre uma mulher que atira num homem e a partir daí não teria como abrir melhor um álbum, o começo da história que a cantora quer contar com o seu primeiro álbum.
Wylla Gomez trabalhou surpreendentemente ágil neste género e é um dos melhores do seu reportório, e das performances vocais mais confiante até à data, usando um tom mais suave e baixo da musica mostrando todo seu talento e a sua amplitude vocal sendo capaz de tudo.
Letra
I didn't mean to end his life
I know it wasn't right
I can't even sleep at night
With the sound of the gun making bang
Can't get it off my mind
But before he visited my in my nightmares
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 pum pum pum rum pum
Pum pum rum pum pum pum
Man down
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba bang
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba bang
Man down

Oh, mama, mama, mama
Help Now
Trust me
Trust me
It was the right think to do

But 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 Crazy
He was insane
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 firearm

I didn't mean to lay him down
But it's too late to turn back now
He asks me to do this

Don't know what I was thinking
He take my brain too
Now he's no longer living
Rest In Peace
When you come back please be gentle
Because i don’t want to kill another man

'Cause I didn't mean to hurt him
Coulda been somebody's son
Maybe the mother gives up of the sun But i took his heart
When i pulled out that gun

Rum pum pum pum rum pum
Pum pum rum pum pum pum
Man down
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba bang
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba bang
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, gurl
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, bang!
When me pull the trigger, pull the trigger, pull it on you
Bang
Somebody tell me what I'm gonna, what I'm gonna do

Rum pum pum pum rum pum
Pum pum rum pum pum pum
Me say one man down
Oh, let me say
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba bang
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba bang
When me went downtown

'Cause now I'm a criminal, criminal, criminal
Oh, Lord, oh, 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 ol' crowd
Oh why, oh why?
Oh, mama, mama, mama
I just shot a man down
In central station (bang)
