Karma police, arrest this man
Karma police, arrest this man
Karma police, arrest this man
Karma police, arrest this man
[Verse 1: Sapient]
This my American dream, the h**ne fiend
That's turned to hip hop though it looks barren and bleak
But I give my thanks to all of ya'll for bearing with me
I know there ain't enough blood flow to share with the fleas
‘Cause supply and demand has made this all f**ed up
Enjoy your feast of Soylent Green, yum yum!
If you become a measly scrape of a person
It doesn't go away with Escalades and Suburbans
As they're judgin' it from above
The ground I'm under is crumbling from the touch
You dont fit in the system or hunger for what's discussed
"Son of a b**h" is what they call you, then you're one of us
We could never be slaves to their currency
Easily thrive in a world where paper's a worthless thing
If only the rich could pay for those certain needs
Will the less sophisticated revert to beast? I don't think so!
[Hook]
Karma police, arrest this man
Karma police, arrest this man
Karma police, arrest this man

[Verse 2: Ethic]
We have been taken off trail, the faithful impaled
In the schematic with those chasing a tail
Are catered to and it's pay-per-view, the taste of it's stale
But they ate it too quick, now the insatiable fix
Is what they aiming to quench, enabling d**h
To be considered an easy escape in facing the flesh
Decision, don't give them a second opinion
It's been a long kiss goodnight and just us left in the building
It's a testament, we get worked up from worse luck
Well, this movement creates either a surplus or deficit
We the future with a desolate past
And here to prove we don't need some dude
Dressed in a mask to save us
When they come, we take tough times
Turn 'em around on themselves till they make plus signs
Then it's my cross to bear, and the cost is shared
In a perfect world, but is that what we got? I don't think so!
[Hook]
Karma police, arrest this man
Karma police, arrest this man
Karma police, arrest this man
Karma police, arrest this man
[Outro]
This is what you'll get
This is what you'll get
