You had your chance…
(You had your say!)
You pushed your luck…
(Along the way!)
What goes around…
(Comes back around!)
And now that sound…
(Is knockin’ down!)
Knock, knock!
(Who’s there?)
Karma!
(You better beware!)
[Verse 1]
You played the game, you bent the rules
You thought the rest of us were fools
You talked so big, you laughed so loud
You built your throne above the crowd
You threw the stones, you hid your hand
You thought you’d always have command
But every action leaves a trace
And consequences know your place
[Pre-Chorus]
You had your fun
(At everyone!)
You had your day
(But not your way!)
You made your bed
(You made your mess!)
Now take a look
(At the consequences!)
[Refrain]
Karma came knockin’
(Upon your door)
Should’ve stopped the mockin’
(Now you can’t ignore)
Karma!
(Can’t cry for mama)
Karma!
(Takin’ ya down came to town)
[Verse 2]
You spread the lies, you played pretend
You burned the bridges, broke the bend
You thought the truth would disappear
But it’s been waiting all these years
The rules you made for everyone
Now turn around when your time has come
You can’t demand a different deal
When consequences become real
[Pre-Chorus]
You had your fun
(At everyone!)
You had your say
(But now it’s payback day!)
You made your bed
(You made your mess!)
Now take a look
(At the consequences!)
[Refrain]
Karma came knockin’
(Upon your door)
Should’ve stopped the mockin’
(Now you can’t ignore)
Karma!
(Can’t cry for mama)
Karma!
(Takin’ ya down came to town)
Don’t call it luck…
(When the tables turn!)
Don’t call it hate…
(When the lessons burn!)
You can’t keep takin’
(Without givin’ back!)
You can’t keep breakin’
(Without feeling the crack!)
No magic wand…
(No get-out-of-jail!)
No special pass…
(No immunity sale!)
What goes around…
(Comes around!)
The higher you climb…
(The harder you sound!)
Knock, knock!
(Who’s there?)
Karma!
(Coming through!)
Knock, knock!
(Who’s there?)
Karma!
(It’s coming for you!)
[Final Refrain]
Karma came knockin’
(Upon your door)
Should’ve stopped the mockin’
(Now you can’t ignore)
Karma!
(Can’t cry for mama)
Karma!
(Takin’ ya down came to town)
Karma came knockin’
(You heard the sound!)
Karma!
(When the tables turned around!)
Karma!
(No more drama!)
Karma!
(There ain’t no one to save ya!)
[Outro]
What goes around?
(Comes around!)
Who’s at the door?
(Karma once more!)
Can you run?
(Not this time!)
Can you hide?
(Out of line!)
Karma!
(Can’t cry for mama!)
Karma!
(Takin’ ya down came to town!)
Sweet karma…
(Oh, what a feeling!)
Sweet karma…
(That’s the way it’s dealing!)
Knock, knock…
(Karma!)
