Karma Comes Back Around

Verse 1 I can’t sit back in the circle no more, Laughing while somebody’s heart hits the floor. What the hell did it give me? What did I gain? A cheap little moment Built off somebody’s pain. I’ve been the name on somebody’s tongue, The joke in the room when the damage was done. I know how it burns, I know how it sounds, When the whole world laughs And you’re breaking down. Pre-Chorus So I’m stepping out, I’m laying it down, I won’t wear cruelty Like some kind of crown. Chorus Don’t spit that fire If you can’t take the flame, Don’t throw those stones Then cry when it rains. Trust me, I’ve seen it, I’ve lived through the sound— Karma don’t sleep, It comes back around. Always, always, It comes back around. Verse 2 What do you get from tearing them small? A second of power? A laugh in the hall? But when you’re alone And the mirror gets loud, Do you still feel proud Of pleasing the crowd? I’m not innocent, I’ve played that game, But I’m done handing matches To somebody’s shame. I’d rather be quiet, I’d rather walk out, Than feed the same darkness I once cried about. Pre-Chorus So I’m changing my mouth, I’m changing my ways, I won’t call it humor When somebody pays. Chorus Don’t spit that fire If you can’t take the flame, Don’t throw those stones Then cry when it rains. Trust me, I’ve seen it, I’ve lived through the sound— Karma don’t sleep, It comes back around. Always, always, It comes back around. Bridge Words are weapons, Words are seeds, They either poison Or they set someone free. I’ve been wounded, I’ve been the wound, But I’m choosing better Before it blooms. No more laughing At somebody’s fall, No more silence When I hear the call. I know that battle, I know that ground— And I know karma Comes back around. Final Chorus Don’t spit that fire If you can’t take the flame, Don’t throw those stones Then cry when it rains. Trust me, I’ve felt it, Face down on the ground— Karma don’t sleep, It comes back around. Always, always, It comes back around. Always, always, So I’m laying mine down.
