**Verse 1 (16 bars)**
I seen killers turn victims in the same night
Seen a crooked cop finally lose his stripes
What you put in the soil come back double
You plant hate, best believe that’s trouble
Homie robbed folks thinking shit was sweet
Two months later got stretched in the street
Cried at the funeral, mama screaming loud
But he watered that garden with the life he plowed
I ain’t preaching like I’m pure or clean
I done did dirt chasing paper and dreams
Had revenge in my heart like a loaded gauge
Let anger dictate every move I made
But the rage I fed kept feeding me back
Turned my circle thin and my world pitch black
Had to learn the hard way, pain made me know
Every seed you plant, you reap what you sow

**Chorus (8 bars – Male R&B hook)**
You reap what you sow, ohhh
What you give comes back for sure
If you plant that love, it’ll grow
If you plant that hate, it’ll show
Every choice gon’ find its way
Back around, no matter how long it take
In the night or in the glow
You reap… you reap what you sow

**Verse 2 (16 bars)**
Politicians lie with a hand on the book
Whole neighborhoods starving while they pocket and cook
They think suits hide the blood on they hands
But the truth rise up from the broken land
Little kids watching what the OGs do
If we glorify death, that’s the path they choose
Can’t blame the youth for the seeds we drop
When they mimic the hustle and the bodies drop
I had to question what I’m teaching the block
Every rhyme, every line, every shot I pop
If I scream for war, that energy spread
If I scream for peace, maybe hope instead
It’s deeper than cash, deeper than fame
It’s cycles of trauma we pass like chains
So I’m planting something different for the ones below
Trying to harvest better than the pain I know

**Verse 3 (16 bars)**
Had an enemy once I wanted gone
Used to pray for revenge every night alone
But I seen how that venom was killing me slow
Turned my heart cold as Chicago snow
So I let it go, put the pride aside
Ain’t no strength in constant homicide
Real power in breaking the chain
In healing the hurt, not feeding the flame
Still, if you cross me, I’ma stand my ground
I ain’t no saint with a halo crown
But I move with a code, consequences clear
Every action echo loud in here
From the streets to the throne, from the cell to the sky
Universal law don’t ever lie
Good or evil, fast or slow
When it circle back… that’s what you sow

**Outro (6 bars)**
Yeah…
Think about the seeds you planting
Every word, every move, every trigger squeezing
Karma got a long memory
Outlaw with a conscience
Before you act… remember
You reap what you sow.
