[Verse]
They say that Karma’s a bitch
And I fucked with her all my life, was kind of hard when we split
‘Cause she was bitter and tried to get back at me through my n***as
One of my mans, she treated like shit ‘cause he used to hit her
He answered to the liquor and now he got some cancer in his liver
He tried to hold her hand and even kissed her
On his death bed, she said “you’re getting well, I couldn’t wish for”
Got closеr to his ear, “just say a prayer”, what she whispеred
Damn, Karma, that was my man, Karma
My other n***a, Shy, was fly, he put a trance on her
He was in his prime, he tried to transform her, never put his hands on her
Look, Shy, I know this bitch, just let your mans warn ya
Just stay away from that damn corner
Karma, she would not let you leave ‘til you and your man’s goners
When you need that heffa the most, she'll tell you you can’t call her
‘Member you got shot, she told them n***as to prance on ya (That’s real shit)
But Ran, you was riding for her
Had all these bricks of dope and used me as your hired gunner
We know you desired comfort, why would you have to change, bro
Looked him straight in his eyes said "Shy, I was hiding from her (That’s crazy)
Had a family, couldn’t afford her
But the worst thing that you could do to Karma is to ignore her
Knew the horrors, and she could summon half of my aura
Had to scorn her, couldn’t have this bitch coming after my daughters
‘Cause she’s lawless, she knows no boundaries, she was hounding me
The love was strong, couldn’t get me, so she took my brother, Born
I’m fucking torn, watching my aunty, sister, and mother mourn
Looked down on me ‘cause they know my future was probably up and gone
Astoundingly, Karma is back and she got nothing on
I’m proud of me, I knew it’s a trap, it felt like something’s wrong
Surrounding me, the room pitch black, here come a thunderstorm
It’s clouding me, I got to react, feel like the oven’s on (Damn)
Been running ever since, yo
But in the marathon, they say a runner never sprints, bro
I’ll cross the finish line probably staggering from a limp though
The shit is intertwined, you ain’t babbling to no simp, ho
He left that bitch alone
Had him a bunch of kids then he finally purchased a home
But a diamond's worth is a stone, it’s all perception
I’ve done met the wokest of brothers who done lost direction
I told perfection, I showed him the light, but it’s all suggestions
Off the lessons that go in one ear then cross the next one
Forced defections, Karma loves you to death, let’s offer blessings
Karma loves you to death, let’s offer blessings
[Outro]
That bitch don’t let up, man
She loves hard, boy
R.I.P. my little brother, Shaheem
My big brother, Born
R.I.P. all the brothers
I’ma pour one up for you
[Sample]
“It’s Karma, baby”
