Karma by Kofi Stone Lyrics
[INTRO]
Goodnight, goodnight
Sweetheart, goodnight
[Chorus]
Play it safe, play it sound
Karma has a way of comin’ right back ‘round
Play it safe, play it sound
Karma has a way of comin’ right back ‘round
Play it safe, play it sound
Karma has a way of comin’ right back ‘round
Play it safe, play it sound
Karma has a way of comin’ right back ‘round
[VERSE 1]
Fools speak but fools fools can never reason
I flee from the demons my life has a deeper meaning
People say they love you but colors will be revealing
Socrates speeches, everyone has a season
I never trust a person who swears they have allegiance
Seeing is believing, words can be misleading
The fiends keep fiending
The crack keep gleaming so the drug dealers all up in the back streets scheming
And the feds still harassing they the ones that see you eaten
I used to want to fly before I saw there was a ceiling
When I was 17 there was a dream that I believed in
I never lost the faith but never got what I was seeking
The past that I was piecing never married up together
Some people fought to make it hard for me on my endeavor
Stars will find a way to shine
And karma will remember
Never crumble under pressure
I’ll be pushing on forever
[Chorus]
Play it safe, play it sound
Karma has a way of comin’ right back ‘round
Play it safe, play it sound
Karma has a way of comin’ right back ‘round
Play it safe, play it sound
Karma has a way of comin’ right back ‘round
Play it safe, play it sound
Karma has a way of comin’ right back ‘round
[VERSE 2]
I live my life like God is on the sidelines
I tried
But still I’m treading on a fine line
In hindsight I was never in my right mind
Telling the world it’s high time
Can’t even deliver the right rhymes
Getting the gold or die trying
Digging for gold I might find
Get in the way it’s night night
Never on mine the slight mind
I will endeavor to double the pressure
I never was in it for a nice times
You thought that I lied
Never be letting the fight die
I climb I rise
They ain’t in my eyeline
Head up to the stars
I’ve been praying for a lifeline
Proof is in the pudding
I’ve been pushing trying to find mine
Mine mine
Feel like I’m pushing for a lifetime
Besides I’m never giving time to what doesn’t matter
Brothers made it hard but we charged and we never shattered
I been cheated I been rattled
I was pleading when it mattered
No one ever gave a hand
But we kept pushing at it
[Chorus]
Play it safe, play it sound
Karma has a way of comin’ right back ‘round
Play it safe, play it sound
Karma has a way of comin’ right back ‘round
Play it safe, play it sound
Karma has a way of comin’ right back ‘round
Play it safe, play it sound
Karma has a way of comin’ right back ‘round
Goodnight, goodnight
Sweetheart, goodnight
[Chorus]
Play it safe, play it sound
Karma has a way of comin’ right back ‘round
Play it safe, play it sound
Karma has a way of comin’ right back ‘round
Play it safe, play it sound
Karma has a way of comin’ right back ‘round
Play it safe, play it sound
Karma has a way of comin’ right back ‘round
