Karma
Avant feat. Lloyd Banks Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am the one you denied
Brushed me off every time tried
But I'm alright
I'm able to swallow my pride
And put all the bullshit to the side
If you ready to ride
I'm down for a one night stand
'cause I ain't yo man
I'll try for whatever its worth
Just remember who played who first
I can't keep my eyes off ya
I can tell why them other guys lost ya
The kinds red an a flying saucer
That's what I can offer
Similarities and characters
Haven't ya heard the word around town
How I get down?
They all whistle
Everybody part official
An that ass was you
Got my dick hard as a missile
Don't hop on top
'cause I ride around with a pistol
N if they pull us over ill be out of town wit an issue
If you was mine id introduce you to momma girl
Your styling your moves n your nirvana
I'm so used to you're Prada
Taking trips to Houston its hotta
Throwing that Al Green n using that impala
Lay my jewels on my collar
Ya had me feeling like a fool when I holla'd
Trying to squeeze in but you wouldn't bother
But I ain't either
Soon as I realize that I ain't either
She in a rush to get close to me but I ain't eager
[Chorus]
Like I don't mean to bother you
But your sex appeal is remarkable
You make a G wanna walk around in a park with you
There ain't no telling what kinda things that I'm a start to do
If I get wrapped up on your ass to fast
I can tell you feel the same 'cause when I ask you laugh
So I'm a leave it at that n hint n put it in my math
I imagine your prolly twice as good in a bath
But I'm buggin'
'cause I can see you right in the hood when I pass
I'm never stapled 'cause business is on my ass
But you can be the one I visit before I dash
An I admit I been the type to hit n split
But you can blame me for the females that I been getting with
'cause most of these broads have there eyes on my grits
Till they're in deeper shit n they learn how to be satisfied with the dick an'
N if you ain't worth it then that's all you get
I ain't gonna blame you I'm gonna blame them tricks
'cause
[Chorus]
You seem like your attitude
Only appears when I'm mad at you
In several situations n that includes
When I'm gone to long ridin' through them avenues
As soon as I get home this room is a scattered boos
You know my fantasies and my feeling things at camera speed
N you're girlfriends trying to sandwich me
My hearts colder then ya sandwich meat
'cause I come from the hood where the hammers be
I move fast but at a switch pace
N I pop in a Listerine strip before you get all up on a bitch face
Moving your body like this
Gonna make me blow like a bottle of cris
I don't know no one hotter then twis
You got my temperature risin' from your hips to you're thighs an
That glare in your eyes that brighten up her horizon
It comes naturally I don't bribe em
Its easy as, 1, 2, 3 n I slide em
[Chorus]
The song Karma by Avant featuring Lloyd Banks revolves around a man who has been rejected and denied by the woman he desires. Despite this, he is willing to overlook the past and engage in a one-night stand with her, "if she is ready to ride." He admits that he feels foolish for being interested in someone who was not interested in him before. He is aware of her sex appeal, and though he is tempted by her, he is mindful of the danger that comes with getting involved.
The chorus is a reminder to the woman that she has played him for a fool in the past, and he is not her man. Furthermore, he hints that he is not interested in a committed relationship but is open to a one-night stand. The lyrics suggest that he is hurt by the rejection, but he is willing to leave his pride aside to pursue his interests.
Line by Line Meaning
I am the one you denied
You rejected me in the past
Brushed me off every time tried
You ignored my attempts to pursue you multiple times
But I'm alright
I'm okay now despite your previous rejections
I'm able to swallow my pride
I'm able to put aside my ego for you
And put all the bullshit to the side
I'm willing to forget all the negative things between us
If you ready to ride
If you're willing and ready to take a chance on me
I'm down for a one night stand
I'm willing to have a one-time sexual encounter with you
I'll accept it any way that I can
I will take whatever you're willing to offer
'cause I ain't yo man
I'm not interested in a committed relationship with you
I'll try for whatever its worth
I will give it a shot despite how things have gone
Just remember who played who first
Don't forget that you rejected me before
I can't keep my eyes off ya
I find you very attractive
I can tell why them other guys lost ya
I can understand why other men were not able to win your affection
The kind's red an a flying saucer
I can offer unique and appealing experiences
That's what I can offer
I have something different to bring to the table
Similarities and characters
Our personalities and traits are aligned in a positive way
Haven't ya heard the word around town
People know about me and my reputation
How I get down?
They are aware of how I behave and act
They all whistle
They are impressed and envious of me
Everybody part official
Everybody is impressed by my confidence and persona
An that ass was you
I was attracted to your physical appearance
Got my dick hard as a missile
You aroused me sexually
Don't hop on top
Don't take control of the situation
'cause I ride around with a pistol
I carry a weapon for my own protection
N if they pull us over ill be out of town wit an issue
If we get stopped by the police, it could create a dangerous situation
If you was mine id introduce you to momma girl
If we were in a committed relationship, I would introduce you to my mother
Your styling your moves n your nirvana
I appreciate your fashion sense and the way you move
I'm so used to you're Prada
I'm familiar with your high-end tastes and preferences
Taking trips to Houston its hotta
Traveling to Houston is a fun and exciting experience
Throwing that Al Green n using that impala
Listening to Al Green and driving an Impala is enjoyable
Lay my jewels on my collar
I wear expensive jewelry with pride
Ya had me feeling like a fool when I holla'd
You made me feel foolish for trying to pursue you
Trying to squeeze in but you wouldn't bother
I was trying to get closer to you, but you were not interested
But I ain't either
I am not interested anymore either
Soon as I realize that I ain't either
As soon as I realize that you are not interested, I lose interest too
She in a rush to get close to me but I ain't eager
You are now showing interest, but I am not excited about it anymore
Like I don't mean to bother you
I don't want to come across as annoying
But your sex appeal is remarkable
I find you very attractive
You make a G wanna walk around in a park with you
I am so attracted to you that I want to spend time with you in a casual setting
There ain't no telling what kinda things that I'm a start to do
I don't know what I might do in your presence
If I get wrapped up on your ass to fast
If we become intimate too quickly
I can tell you feel the same 'cause when I ask you laugh
I can sense that you are attracted to me too because you respond positively to my advances
So I'm a leave it at that n hint n put it in my math
I will drop the subject and keep it in the back of my mind
I imagine your prolly twice as good in a bath
I think you would be even more attractive in a more intimate setting
But I'm buggin'
But I am overthinking things
'cause I can see you right in the hood when I pass
I can picture running into you in my neighborhood
I'm never stapled 'cause business is on my ass
I am always busy with work and other obligations
But you can be the one I visit before I dash
But I am willing to make time for you before I have to leave
An I admit I been the type to hit n split
I have a history of being with women and then leaving them
But you can blame me for the females that I been getting with
It's fair to criticize me for my past behavior
'cause most of these broads have there eyes on my grits
Most of these women are only interested in me for my wealth and status
Till they're in deeper shit n they learn how to be satisfied with the dick an'
Until they get emotionally invested and learn to be content with just casual intimacy
N if you ain't worth it then that's all you get
If I do not think you're worth it, then I won't bother with you beyond a physical relationship
I ain't gonna blame you I'm gonna blame them tricks
I won't blame you for getting involved with me, I'll blame the other women for manipulating me
You seem like your attitude
Your personality gives off a certain vibe
Only appears when I'm mad at you
Your negative attitude only surfaces when we have conflict
In several situations n that includes
In different circumstances, this attitude is still present
When I'm gone too long ridin' through them avenues
When I am away for too long, especially in unstable environments
As soon as I get home this room is a scattered boos
As soon as I return, the room is filled with tension and unease
You know my fantasies and my feeling things at camera speed
You know my deepest desires and thoughts almost instantly
N your girlfriends trying to sandwich me
Your friends are trying to get involved in our relationship
My hearts colder then ya sandwich meat
I am emotionally detached and not interested in a serious relationship
'cause I come from the hood where the hammers be
I come from a rough neighborhood where violence is prevalent
I move fast but at a switch pace
I transition quickly from one thing to another
N I pop in a Listerine strip before you get all up on a bitch face
I freshen my breath before getting intimate with you
Moving your body like this
The way you move your body is attractive to me
Gonna make me blow like a bottle of cris
You are turning me on to the point where I may ejaculate
I don't know no one hotter then twis
I have never been with someone as physically attractive as you
You got my temperature risin' from your hips to you're thighs
Your body is making me feel aroused
That glare in your eyes that brighten up her horizon
Your eyes light up and make me feel happy
It comes naturally I don't bribe em
I don't have to manipulate or pressure you because our attraction is natural
Its easy as, 1, 2, 3 n I slide em
It's easy for me to get intimate with women, almost like a routine

If u from age like 27-35 these songs are very special. Every generation has an advantage and ours is the ability to have heard this era as like teens but can appreciate all the surroundin eras past and present. Me personally i prefer this sound and wish it would come bacc. But at least i truly got to experience it.
