King of Karma
Bif Naked Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

i am giving into violent tendencies
anger rises in my head
so much confusion is living within me
now that my lover is dead

he said i could be his little?
baby, he was beautiful
and i know that things aren't always what they seem
i'm telling you i'm not a fool

well, how can you sleep at night?
i wanna know
how can you live with yourself boy?
don't you know wrong from right?
oh, oh, oh
karma's gonna get ya

hey, hey, hey!
you're gonna have to pay, pay, pay!
for whatever it is you did that day
you were never king of karma
good luck to ya!

then one day he disappeared without a trace
i think you know what i'm saying
if i were you i wouldn't ever show my face
fall on your knees and you start praying

well how can you sleep at night?
i wanna know
how can you live with yourself boy?
don't you know wrong from right?
oh, oh, oh
karma's gonna get ya!

hey, hey, hey!
you're gonna have to pay, pay, pay!
for whatever it is you did that day
you were never king of karma
good luck to ya!

hey, hey, hey!
you're gonna have to pay, pay, pay!
for whatever it is you did not say
you will be the king of karma

[chanting]

?

never understand your ammunition

hey, hey, hey!
you're gonna have to pay, pay, pay!
for whatever it is you did that day
you were never king of karma
good luck to ya!

hey hey hey!
you're gonna have to pay, pay, pay!




for whatever it is you did not say
you were never king of karma

I've been following Bif since "I Bificus" and I think that The Promise is my favorite album! She hasn't lost any of her honesty, fierceness, fun, spirituality, or creativity. She just keeps getting better. I can't belive I never saw this video before. Awesome.

Annie MacKenzie

Definately love it! <3 It helped me calm down after a spider attack!!

I adore Bif! She's such a fighter. While I'll probably always have the most fun with I, Bificus and a few songs from other albums, this album just has so ridiculously much emotional power. It makes me feel pain and healing all at once.
