Karma Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Broken inside, he left me for another
Surrendered my truth but that didn't tend to stop him
Karma where you at? Just give me what I gave him
Love with no stress, love to the end
Love me when you remember
He tends to mess with my mind
He fucks with all of my girls
But karma what goes around comes around
Why ain't he by my side?
Bad guy, bad guy, you be bad guy
If I show am the paper, him go dey act well
But he still left me for Dana
Dana let him go said, "Farewell"

[Chorus]
Karma you're such a good lover
You're such a good lover
Karma you're such a good lover
You're such a good lover
Always there to hold me
Always there to hold me
Tell me I won't be lonely
Always there to hold me

[Verse 2]
Make e no be like say I just dey talk
You wan dey form hard guy when you know what's up
Just because you're a guy, you don't think it's wrong
Now you know how I felt with all your scum
Bad guy, bad guy, you be bad guy
If I show am the paper, him go dey act well
But he still left me for Dana
Dana let him go said, "Farewell"
[Chorus]
Karma you're such a good lover
You're such a good lover
Karma you're such a good lover
You're such a good lover
Always there to hold me
Always there to hold me
Tell me I won't be lonely
Always there to hold me
Hold me

[Bridge]
You make me higher
Higher than the fire
Higher yayayaya
You make me higher
You make me higher

[Chorus]
Karma you're such a good lover
You're such a good lover
Karma you're such a good lover
You're such a good lover
Karma you're such a good lover
You're such a good lover
Karma you're such a good lover
You're such a good lover
[Outro]
Always there to hold me
Always there to hold me
Tell me I won't be lonely
Always there to hold me
Hold me, hold me, yeah

Genius Answer

My brother and I wrote this song in 2018 when we were still in school. This was one of the first songs we finished writing. Just thinking about it now, back then, we didn’t know that this was going to be our life. We didn’t even know we were going to record it one day. It was just something we did for fun. My brother wrote the first verse, I wrote the second one. We would imagine that he featured me on the song. We would write the whole music video treatments. Then, when Don Jazzy signed me, the first day in the studio, I started to record ‘Karma’ and I was like, this song is such an amazing song. It’s my love story with karma. Karma is such a good lover, because I didn’t ask him to do the revenge—he did it for me.
