If karma had my number

(Spoken)

“They say karma never forgets…”

“…Guess she’s been stuck in traffic.”

I watched liars cash their winnings,
Watched cheats get another round.
Watched the loudest voices preaching
While they burned the whole thing down.

I kept waiting on that lightning,
Thought justice might roll in.
But the calendar kept turning…
Nothing happened then.

So I quit counting
Somebody else’s score.

Turns out freedom
Lives behind
An unlocked door.

If karma had my number,
She sure took her sweet old time.
I got tired of staring backward,
Started chasing what was mine.

Maybe justice wears work boots,
Maybe hope don’t make a sound.
Maybe the best revenge
Is building higher ground.

If karma finally calls someday…
She knows where I’ll be.

Used to wear my anger
Like an old leather coat.
Heavy on my shoulders,
Hard to keep afloat.

Then I traded bitter
For another sunrise drive.
Turns out letting go
Is how you stay alive.

Every mile I traveled
Cut another chain.
Peace showed up quietly…
Never needed fame.

Some people build prisons
Inside their own minds.

I packed my bags…

Left mine behind.

Maybe karma’s busy…

Maybe she’s slow…

Maybe life was never
Keeping score
The way we hoped it’d go.

So I’ll keep laughing,
Keep moving,
Keep writing another page.

My future deserves more space
Than my old rage.

If karma had my number,
She can leave a message at the tone.
I quit sitting by the window…
Waiting all alone.

I’ve got roads still left to travel,
Dreams too big to postpone.
The best thing I ever did
Was building a life that’s my own.

(Repeat with bigger harmonies)

If karma finally finds me,
She’ll smile when she sees…
I already became
Everything they said
I’d never be.

(Spoken)

“I stopped waiting for life to balance the scales…”

“I just started living.”
