Karma, karma, raise the alarm and
Take a look at me!
All of the good, or all the bad?
Tell me: just what do you see?
All I am is what I am,
But you just can't get it through.
Karma, karma, raise the alarm
This is all coming back to you!
You and I go back and forth,
A cycle has begun.
You say you've done all the good deeds
But you're not the only one.
No, we've done our share of bad,
But I've paid for my mistakes.
You've avoided all your debts,
Now we'll see how long this takes.
Karma, karma, raise the alarm and
Take a look at me!
All of the good, or all the bad?
Tell me: just what do you see?
All I am is what I am,
But you just can't get it through.
Karma, karma, raise the alarm
This is all coming back to you!
In our bodies there are hormones called endorphin, oxytocin, dopamine and serotonin
When you doing something good for you. You are feeling happy.
It's how evolution made us
Your brain works something just like this
FOOD - EXERCISE - SEX - SUNLIGHT
HAPPINESS
Reason why normal activity doesn't make you happy, Is because you are overconsuming PORN, JUNK FOOD, GAMES, TV and ect.
You NEED BRAKE from overconsuming and
YOU WILL BE FINE
Didn't have any lyrical ideas this week so made an ethereal instrumental thing.
This is my first entry in 2HTS! ProTools, my midi keyboard, my internet and Focusrite all crapped out on me so I gave up and this is literally a one-take voice memo with a guitar, so be kind :) The first line is missing because I accidentally recorded over it. There is no avocado in it because I failed to work it in in the slightest.
Lyrics:
My momma grew up in a trailer park
Her momma was seventeen when she had her
But she grew up on the water
And the water would freeze over
And she'd be playing by herself
But there'd be fireflies to greet her
When she stepped outside
My momma grew up without a daddy
And she played the role quite well
And when the time came for my turn
I learned the lines like she did
My momma grew up in a time
When being big meant you were crazy
And her momma knew it too
And her momma knew it too
My momma grew up in a way
That left an imprint on my chest
No matter how deep I excavate
It's planted at the beginning
My brother came to me to say
Will you still love me if I'm crazy?
Cos my brother knows it too
And my sister knows it too
My momma grew up in a trailer park
Where being big meant you were crazy
And her momma knew it too
And her momma knew it too
My momma grew up in a trailer park
Where being big meant you were crazy
And her momma knew it too
Accidentally recreated the GBA startup sound
I tried to understand you, love
imagine how you felt
I tried to do my best
had to second guess myself
I tried to make it happen love
i thought that y ou were right
i had to do whats best
i guess i h a to save myself, myself
fall into a pattern when you think no one is listening
integrity is what you do when no ones watching you
it all comes back to bite you in the end
and no one will be sorry for you
fonkeh
Free yourself
from the cycle
of death and rebirth
I saved fifteen percent
by switching
my karma insurance to Geico
Living without intent
might cleanse your soul
or see you reborn
as a gecko
i saved fifteen percent
by switching
my karma insurance to Geico
No time to explain, it's a beat tape based on karma!!!
When karma decides you should not listen to the metronome but to the drummer so you have to re-record the entire thing from scratch
As always, apologies for the mix
FREEESTYLEEEEEEEEEEEE
