Mr. Lil One - Karma Lyrics
(Mr. Lil One)
Where's my G's at sippin Mickey's and wearing Dickies
Throwin up your set with a neck full of hickies
No I'm not Ricky but I live la vida loca
Buckin down you socas that be talkin out your bocas
Mota for the smokers, coka for the nose
Peace to all my niggas that be talkin shit to hoes
Clothes always creased screamin out f**k peace
Nigga I'm from the streets where the devil never sleeps
Deep into the bangin started slangin tryin to make it
Run up on my shit, you got to murder me to take it
Never tried to fake, tried to make it the way I can
Cause man made the money, money never made the man
Listen to the whistle, keep your fingers on the pistol
F**kin wit that crystal makes a mothaf**ka dismissed
Every thing you love, and every thing done
Don't mean a f**kin thing when a mothaf**kas sprung
(Chorus)
Leave it alone you're f**kin up holmes
You're doin em wrong, You're doin em wrong
You're doin em wrong, for all the wrong reasons
You got a Karma with all the four seasons
(2x)
(Mr. Lil One)
Any ways, just another day but I'm livin
Givin it all I got for my mothaf**kin Tot
Hustlin my shit makin sure it's in your spot
Bumpin down your block hear it every where you walk
Hocus Pokus I was faded when I wrote this
PCP smokers bangin who the lokest
Bury you, I'm darin you, see if I put scare in you
No air in you, left, when I done leave you hung
Tattos and hair nets, youngsters and vets
Throwin up their sets screamin out f**ked the rest
Let the dogs loose, gettin faded off the juice
I'm fightin to get rich while you're fightin over a bitch
Mothaf**k you both, I'm stickin to my oath
Terrorfy you bitches when you hear about my riches
It's not about my salary it's all about reality
I'm tryin to feed my family so why f**k you mad at me
(Chorus)
(Mr. Lil One(Talkin))
Yeah, this is to all you back stabbing bitches
All you two faced hipocrits
You mothaf**kin haters out there
You know who you are
You got some karma for that ass
Karma for all the four seasons
[M&L;: Edlund]
Your blood is cold as ice in the summer
And you're steaming hot in the winter
You lived your life on Baphomet's throne
And you are so much like me
You hide away from the light
And that's how it begins
Forget the sunshine for awhile
And dance with me into night
Celebrate
The thunder and lightning
Raise your glasses high
To the thunder and lightning
Thank God
For the thunder and lightning
Celebrate tonight
Now smoke is going down
And snow is falling outside
Through lasers, stroboscopes
I see your face in there
Through rain and stormy weather
With black boots of leather
You're the flame, you're the fire
Fully equipped with dark desires
The rain, the dusk, the dirt, the dark
And the thunder and lightning
To the south and the north and the east and the west
For the thunder and lightning
Thank God for the flood and the darkness in our blood
And for the thunder and lightning
The world won't forgive him
He's walking alone
Pretending he can feel
The words in his mind
He just couldn't say
The memory's so real
She tries hard to hold him
The night reaches out
Fingers on the soul
A voice in the shadows
Calling his name
Will he lose control
No way, no way out
No way, no way out
He's leading his life
On the edge of a knife
Love will take it's toll
Heads in the dark
Whipers from afar
He can't escape alone
She watches his eyes
Her need is so stronger
Dying for his touch
It's too late for talking
The damage is done
Time hurts so much
No way, no way out
No way, no way out
No way (out)
Heartbreak in motion
Love's on the line
Maybe time will tell
Waiting for moments
That just never come
You know the scene so well
He could not deceive her
They're too close for lies
They seldom make a move
Lost in the future
Trapped in the past
With nothing left to prove
No way, no way out
No way, no way out
No way out
Wake up in the morning
Wonder why I'm feelin' so down
Is it any wonder
When all I get is pushed around
There's talk around town
That you've made up your mind
You're really gonna let me go
If you think it's that easy
You better think twice
Cause I got somthing
You ought to know
It's gonna be
A fight to the finish
It's gonna be you
Or it's gonna be me
A fight to the finish
That's the only way it's gonna be
Workin' hard every day
Tryin' to stay in the race
Every time I turn around
Someone tries to take my place
There's talk around town
That you've made up your mind
You're really gonna let me go
If you think it's that easy
You better think twice
Cause I got something
You ought to know
Repeat Chorus
A fight to the finish
It's gonna be you
Or it's gonna be me
A fight to the finish
Oh oh oh
Don't tell me
That it's over
Don't tell me
It's the end of the line
Don't tell me
That it's over
Don't tell me
I've been wasting my time
There's talk around town
That you've made up your mind
You think you're gonna let me go
But in case you forget
It ain't over yet
Cause I got something
You ought to know
It's gonna be
A fight to the finish ooo
It's gonna be you
Or it's gonna be me
A fight to the finish
That's the only way it's gonna be
A fight to the finish
It's gonna be you
Or it's gonna be me
A fight to the finish
Ohhhh
Keep on fighting
That's what I'll do
Keep on keep on
Keep on keep on
I'll keep on fighting
I'll keep on fighting
Keep on fighting
Keep on
I'll keep on fighting
Keep on yeah
I'll keep on fighting
Keep on fighting, fighting
Keep on fighting
Silence in the city
Nobody on the streets
I got your message
I know just where to meet
I ask you questions
I don't get no reply
Just like a ?
Looking for an alibi
You can see me
But you know me
You deny me
Then you show me
You control me
But you give me
The third degree
Like a fleeting shadow
Trying to escape detection
Long as you're in motion
You're moving in
The right direction
You watch from a distance
You don't even know I'm here
Nothing can change it
It's like I disappear
You can see me
But you know me
You deny me
Then you show me
You control me
When you give me
The third degree
There was a man
Came from my home town
Didn't have no money
He was always down
Johnny Stark that was his name
In a few short years
He was gonna rise to fame
When he was young
He'd have to steal to eat
In my shakedown bed
Shared his sleep
Late at night his papa
Would come home drunk
Shouting at his ma
And calling him a punk
I'm the Razor King
That's what I'll be
You can look out for me now
My weapons will be sharp
I'll get you in the dark again
Some years later
He'd grown up fast
He got right down to it
Didn't wanna be last
He became the leader
Of the local gang
Was singing as he went
And this is what he sang
I'm the Razor King
Oh, you can look out for me now
Johnny Stark's my name
My weapons will be sharp
I'll get you in the dark again
Some years later
His reputation spread
A man with no fear
Or so it was said
Leader of a gang
Now two thousand strong
Johnny didn't realize
That he was doing wrong
Then came the night
He was to lose his crown
Marching down main street
He was going way down
Weapons aflashing
Grit in his eye
Johnny didn't realize
He was gonna die
I'm a Razor King
Ahh, that's what I am
You can look up to me now
Ohhh
She wants to go where
The wild ones stayed
Wants to cross the great divide
She needs to find
The heavy gates of?
Over on the other side
Looking for love in the real world
She's a modern girl
She wants to back it up
Against the wall
She wants it under her wheels
All the way she don't pull it off
Needs to know how it feels
Looking for love
In the modern world
She's a modern girl
Living in a modern world
She's a modern girl
Living in a modern world
She wants to walk
Out on the borderline
She sees the hunger in me
She needs to lose it one more time
Wants to be a trouble machine
Looking for love in the real world
She's a modern girl
Looking for love
In a modern world
Looking for love
You're down in a dark pool
Of doubt and confusion
But you're gonna have to carry on
Til you come to the conclusion
There ain't no way
You're gonna slip it off
Grab it with both hands
And rip it off
Mayday
Don't carry nothin'
That'll drag you down
Mayday
Don't drown
Miles away from anything
And running out of power
But remember what they say
About the darkest hour
You'll never really know
Who might be
Send out your signal
Loud and clear
Mayday
Don't carry nothin'
That'll drag you down
Mayday
Don't drown
Mayday
Mayday
Mayday
Mayday
I wish I was a willow tree
Leaning on a lazy breeze
Moving like a midnight train
Midnight train to Georgia
I wish I was a grain of sand
Laying in a baby's hand
Falling like a diamond chain
Into the ocean
A willow tree
Is strong enough to bend
Never like the oak
Who lives in fear of the wind
A grain of sand
Is all I ever wanted to be
Lay me down and let the water
Wash right over me
Right on over me, oh
I wish I was an old guitar
Sitting in a beat up car
Hitting every two-bit bar
From here to Texas
Then I wouldn't be ashamed
To look up my old friends
They would be so proud
To see me strung up again
Repeat Chorus
Nobody wants you
When you're down and out
Nobody wants to know your name
You're just another face
Lost on the crowded street
Repeat Chorus
Right on
You say you're looking for someone
And you're burning up inside
I know I'm the only one
Who can keep you satisfied
We can't afford to wait
Tomorrow is too late
Alright, all night
Sometimes love can still survive
Walking the straight line
All night, alright
Don't you know that we can
Make it right the first time
They say it's gone too far
And we're growing up to fast
But they don't know who we are
So let's make this moment last
We can't afford to wait
Tomorrow is too late
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Chorus
Right the first time
Right the first time
Right the first time
Right the first time
Sittin' looking pretty
Flashing your eyes
Turning all the boys on
I know it's a lie
You're not to be trusted
I know that for sure
Cause when you
Were with me that night
The devil was in you
You got a mean streak
Inside of you
A mean streak
Runnin' all the way through
A mean streak
That comes from your heart
A mean streak
That will tear a man apart yeah
Smiling like a shadow
Of the man in the dark
Oh, who was looking at the girls
Who move like a shark
You caught me in the dark
Gonna drive me insane
But if you get what you want
The difference is the same
You got a mean streak
Inside of you
A mean streak
Runnin' all the way through
A mean streak
Coming from your heart
A mean streak
That will tear a man apart yeah
You got the face of a madonna
The heart of a snake
You're never gonna forgive anyone
All you ever do is take
You maybe looking good to me
Looking oh so well
Steal my heart away from me
And never ever ever tell
You got a mean streak
Inside of you
A mean streak
Runnin' all the way through
A mean streak
That comes from your heart
A mean streak
That will tear ya
Tear a man apart
It's that simple, baby
It's coming
It's coming, baby
It's coming
It's coming
It's coming
Straight from your heart yeah
And I know and you know
There's nothing you can do about it
Oh no no no no no no
You got a mean streak, baby
Headed straight from your heart
Yeah
Runnin' all the way through ya baby
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
There ain't no way
You can do anything
When you wake up in the night
And you're shiverin' with fright
You're not so sure if you're alone
So you tremble in the dark
And sound like a meadowlark
Your average is out
On the telephone
The four horsemen will surround you
At each corner of your bed
The four horsemen gonna take you
For the things you've done (and)
The life you've lead
So you think about your past
Is this thing gonna last
Your life flashes by in an instant
So you wonder what've you done
Don't let'em take away your sun
Your frightened now
And brother you know it
Repeat Chorus
So you wake up to the dawnin'
You know they're givin' you a warning
Giving you the clue to a mystery
You begin to realize
As the sleep will leave your eyes
It's time to wake up
To what must be
Repeat Chorus
Yeah
They're giving you a warning
The four horsemen gonna take you
For the things that you've done
Yeah
They're gonna take you
Take ya, take ya
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
You call me up a bit too much
We never get in touch
You move your lips upon the dials
You never realize
You don't get closer to me
You get stranger
You're always talking to me
Like a stranger
You treat me like a stranger
You call my name
When no one's near
You think that no one hears
You try to smile
But something's changed
You think your heart is for me
You don't get closer to me
You get stranger
You're always talking to me
Like a stranger
Like a stranger, stranger
(Stranger stranger stranger stranger)
But life goes on and nothing's said
You keep going through hell
When morning comes
You're still alone
You're still out on your own
You don't get closer to me
You get stranger
You're always talking to me
Like a stranger
You treat me like a stranger
You get stranger
You treat me like a stranger
You get stranger
You treat me like a stranger
You get stranger
You treat me like a stranger
With your cheating and your lying
Watch it spread all over town
Do you really
Think you're gonna get me down
When I saw you walking with him
I was burning up inside
But I had to hold my head up
This is my pride
When the sun comes up
And wakes me in the morning
As the day goes on
I'm out there to win the race
I get by
I'll keep my hurt inside me
You'll never see a tear
Upon my face
Well I listened
When you told me you loved me
Woman I believed you
Like a doggone fool
How could I know
OOh you would leave me
And walk away
But I know, I know baby
You'll never find another man, no
Who's gonna love you
Keep on wanting you, the way I do
When the sun comes up
And wakes me in the morning
As the day goes on
I'll be out there to win the race
I'll get by
I keep my hurt inside me
You'll never see a tear
Upon my face
Baby there ain't no way
Well I listened
When you told me you loved me
Woman I believed you
Like a doggone fool
How could I know
You would leave me
And walk way
But I know, I know woman
You'll never find another man, no
Who's gonna love you
Keep on wanting you, the way I do
Repeat 2nd Chorus
No no no no tears
Ooh whoo baby
Did you ever see
A man with no heart
Baby that was me
Just a lonely, lonely
Man with no heart
Til you set me free
I can breathe
I can see
I can touch
I can feel
I can taste
The sweetness of your kiss
You showed me
All the things I ever missed
I never felt like this
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
Well I used to figure
I was livin'
But I was wrong
I never knew
A bit about livin'
Until you came along
Repeat Chorus
Well I used to figure
I was livin'
But I was wrong
No, I never knew
A bit about livin'
Until you came along
Repeat Chorus
I'm alive
(I'm alive)
The sun casts no shadow
And I'm blinded by the sky
I'm up here alone on patrol
And I just don't know why
I've been looking for worlds
With possible life
There's a voice on the wire
But nothing in sight
No destination
Past lies beyond
What's here is forever
What's gone is gone
Is this stillness of motion
It's so hard to say
When you get me connections
You're so far away
This is the strangest system
I thought I'd seen it all
A world full of shadows
After the fall
Repeat Chorus
Is this some kind of madness
I think I've had too much
Voices coming thought the night
Like the echo of a touch
Stars fall beneath me
Like grains of sand
Time flows through my fingers
The lifetime of a man
Me and my friends
Been standing on the corner
Underneath the blinking streetlight
When we're in the mood
We'll do anything we wanna
Looks like we're
In the mood tonight
Tired of hanging around
With all the wannabes and the moon
Waiting to make a move
Tired of going no where
Ready for some action
Sick and tired of hearing
That we're down and out
The situation's out of control
We don't need no one to tell us
What it's all about
All we need is rock & roll
Repeat Chorus
Repeat First Verse
Repeat Chorus
We're looking for action
Be the main attraction
GAMMA ' VOYAGER
The dark of the sky ' the light of the moon
The solitary figure will be home real soon
He has braved the storms of time ' his life is on the line
He's been prayin' to his saviour
Please take me away from here
The man on the ship - has a lot to fear
He hasn't seen home - in almost a year
When darkness falls ' he goes by the stars
Getting directions from Jupiter and Mars
It was he who created this strife
He is fighting for his life
He is longing to see ' His wife and his family
CHORUS then SOLO
Well will things be the same '
When he gets home again
Will his children still remember '
The man who went away
The year that has gone past '
All the places he has been
He'll remember to the last '
The worlds that he has seen
CHORUS
Oh oh oh
A little bit of a smile
A surprise I don't deserve
But you assure me it's mine
I never let it inside
I thought that if you knew me well
You wouldn't give me the time
But it's okay, if you know it's in me
Hey, it's finally right
With you it's easy to follow light
Hey, tomorrow arrives
With all the feelings you described
Thinking it over in line
The way I spent all my time
Your body tells me it's fine
I might even begin to believe it could be better outside
You make it easy
You make it easy to believe
