Nappy Roots - Karma lyrics

[Verse 1] May the Lord bless the child that can hold his own in this day in time And waits for no man or the wo-man, sun rise; starts to grind And the early cat; eats the bird that gets the worm, we find The results always stay the same, nine out of ten tries I'ma grind; never mind how my neighbor flips a dime into a dollar Says the scholar from the school of hard livin Play the cards I was given from the dealer, with a smile Take a swallow from the Coke and then I mix it with the Crown So surprised, I'm still alive doin fine instead of crime I got off easy as a kid, but this karma is a b**h You reap what you sow, n***as better learn to stitch On the search for extra dollars, one thing you can't forget [Hook] Karmaaaa It'll catch up wit'chu one day, you can ask your Mamaaaaaa She'll say "What goes around comes back" because there's no honoooor; Amongst theives, gotta shake the leaves and empty your armoiiiir Because karma is a b**h, and every b**h loves dramaaaaaa [Verse 2] Now we've been in this game for ten years makin rap tunes Ever since rappers was hollerin cash rules Before it was cool to have all these tattoos You put out negative energy, you get bad news You hang with positive people, you win mo' Never throw the first stone, you might miss ya window Damn near sold my soul, that's too much info Booked some overpriced shows that I ain't make a cent fo' Finances in limbo, have my own family to fend fo' Help them my kinfolk, it came back ten-fold What goes around comes around, it'll catch up When ya least expect it, please accept that that's just [Hook] Karmaaaa It'll catch up wit'chu one day, you can ask your Mamaaaaaa She'll say "What goes around comes back" because there's no honoooor Amongst theives, gotta shake the leaves and empty your armoiiiir Because karma is a b**h, and every b**h loves dramaaaaaa [Verse 3] Simple veto, right out of a Bible bill Prayer sayer, look at what the Bible left Slum, heavy-set, row ton Do the work, then you know it's gon' come Feel good, call life good Great day cause the night good What I say when it write good Yo hood is my hood, my hood and yo hood, so we all hood But it's all about the next step, puff pa** golf The next breath, get it in and that's that Answer to the prayers of my grand dad Runnin through these Billie Jeans Still Michael Jackson bad [Hook] Karmaaaa It'll catch up wit'chu one day, you can ask your Mamaaaaaa She'll say "What goes around comes back" because there's no honoooor Amongst theives, gotta shake the leaves and empty your armoiiiir Because karma is a b**h, and every b**h loves dramaaaaaa
