Angie Stone: Karma

Tried so many times to make some sense of it
Unsure about the people in the mix
My sacred intention
My moment to mention
Just what it is I was called here to do

Love somebody, give somebody, teach somebody, touch somebody.
And when the good gets misunderstood
The repercussions can be cruel
And that ain't cool
Karma will avenge you

I've often seen the faces of despair
And been in situations people don't care
They take advatange of your every move
That ain't cool 'cause I'm no fool
They monoplize your time
Try to redesign your mind
The very time they use to find
You're in this love for sharing

Love somebody, give somebody, teach somebody, touch somebody
And when the good gets misunderstood
The repercussions can be cruel
And that ain't cool
Karma will avenge you

To me the world is stingy with love
Everybody for self
And when you finally find love then people hate you to death
A constant struggle between you and your mental muscles
Emotional paranoia with feelin nobody loves ya
No one to reach to
Gravity seen you
You the one in church that the preachers will preach to
And you're prayer just for confession
More blessings
Try to get protection from manic depression and keep steppin
From mean impressions
The supper comes with dressin
attached with life and karma and its own lessons
And that's faith and love and peace and trust
And never participate with the evil in us
And life ain't fair when you feel wear and tear
Remember God don't put more into you than you can bear
And believe that to death
A long journey don't start til the first step
And that's life

Love somebody, give somebody, teach somebody, touch somebody
And when the good gets misunderstood
The repercussions can be cruel
And that ain't cool
Karma will avenge you
