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 pum pum rum pum pum pum rum pum pum pum
Man Down
Rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum rum bum bum bum
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 m

Into the eyes of foster child.

Look into his eyes, tell me what you see.
Do you see the saddness?
Can you see the misery?
Can you see the tears he doesn't cry?
Can you read the words he can't say?
Do you see the pain inside?
Do you want to forget that you ever meant him,
like everyone else in his life,
who gave up in the end.

Look into his heart,
tell me what you see.
Do you see the many pieces?
Can you see the broke cracks?
Can you see the break for everytime he had to lose someone he loved?

Do you see what it can do to you to never have a real home?
To always be forgotten?
To always be alone.
Is it his fault he is not wanted?
Is it his fault that he ne

Great work. Open for all sorts of interpretations--all of which are thought provoking.

I appreciate that. Thanks man.

Wow...quite amazing. I love the hair.

Not sure what the meaning behind this is, but as a mother I have my own interpretation in that of a woman breathing life into her offspring.
I know the breath goes somewhere because after carrying two of the critters, I know that at around eight or nine months pregnant, it becomes pretty hard to breathe at all.

Could also be about cannibalism. Or some sort of mysticism. But I like your interpretation a lot better than those. Double sided coin knowing what it feels like giving birth. On one hand, I'm missing out. In the other, no thanks.

did you draw the female yourself? This just might be my favorite of all my favorites of yours.

Thanks. It's an extreme picture manipulation, I didn't draw or paint anything here. Lots of smudging.

damn man... your work is always amazing me with a combination of simplicity and a brilliant ideas... I mean, maybe they aren't a technical masterpieces, but the pleasure of watching is better when you combine a title and a piece together and begin to think about it for a while... I laughed especially when looked at "Battle of wits"

... this one is great as well - I thought a little about abortion and mother killing children... 'don't know if that was your intention, but I heard once that more important is the impression that a finished work make on a watcher

Yeah, you and I are quite opposite in the technical aspects, but each of us achieve final products with scope.

At first, I just imagined what it would look like to have a fetus dripping out of someone's mouth. The picture took on a life of it's own while I was working on it and got me thinking about miscarages and birth and stuff. So, the feeling is mutual, I suppose. Thanks for letting me know that you understand what I do. The comments are quite meaningful.
