For some evidence
That I've been cheating
Checking my phone my mail my crub
My pockets for no reason
Looking for proof proof proof
But you're only wasting time
You told me you were gon confess if
That's when I gave you
Your own medicine
Which you believed in
But it wasn't true true true
Still you think I'm just denying
You can say
Whatever you want about me
But the truth of the matter is
I never did you wrong
Did you wrong
Did you wrong
And you gon miss me when I'm gone
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
Yeah you gon regret it
Yeah you gon regret it
Regret it
You started playing games
So now you gotta deal with it
And oh it's such a shame
That we couldn't be real 'bout it
Karma karma karma
Yeah you gon regret it
Yeah you gon regret it
Regret it
It's been more
Than a couple of months
And we ain't even speaking
You don't return my calls
Thinking that you
Will get even
Why you act a fool fool fool
There is something that ain't right
Maybe you're the one that's been
Incognito and creeping
If it's so then let me know cause you
Confuse my feelings
I'm about to lose it lose it lose it
Why you tryin' to switch it 'round
You can say
Whatever you want about me
But the truth of the matter is
I never did you wrong

And you gon miss me when I'm gone

Give me this nonsense
How you gonna tell me I let you down
If you got a little bit heart in you
Can you please explain
Why you flip the coin around
I know I've done a lot of bad
But I never been in bed
With another lady trust me it's true
And the proof that you claim that you got
Is nothing but a
Way for you to come up
With an excuse
To smooth and slowly get away
Too afraid to tell it
Straight to my face
Six years I stayed with you
Laid with you
Is this how you gonna play
It's ok it's alright
Go ahead and scram
By the night that you wake up
You gon regret it
That you lost a good man
For sure
You started playing games
So now you gotta deal with it
And oh it's such a shame
That we couldn't be real 'bout it
Karma karma karma
Yeah you gon regret it

The song "Karma" by Darin is about a relationship that has gone wrong due to mistrust and false accusations. Darin's partner is constantly searching for evidence that he has been cheating, checking his phone, mail, and pockets, which causes him frustration and distrust. His partner believes that if he confessed to cheating, she would forgive him, but he knows that he has done nothing wrong and decides to give her a taste of her own medicine. The lyrics suggest that Darin's partner is playing games and not being honest, which causes their relationship to fall apart. As the song progresses, the chorus responds to those unfounded accusations and tells his partner that she will regret what she has done once he is gone.
The song's verses and choruses play on the idea of justice in relationships by using the metaphor of karma. Darin is convinced that his partner's lack of faith in him will come back to her, hence the line "karma, karma, karma, yeah, you gon' regret it." He warns her that she will regret her accusations and dishonesty, and that she will need to face the consequences of her actions.
Overall, the song explores the idea of trust and mistrust in relationships, and the consequences of unfounded accusations. The lyrics highlight the importance of honesty and trust in a relationship, as well as the damage caused by a lack of faith.

You were searching
You were looking for something
For some evidence
To prove something

Checking my phone, mailbox, and home
My pockets for no reason
Searching my pockets without cause
Looking for proof proof proof
Trying to gather evidence
But you're only wasting time
But you're not finding anything
You told me you were gon' confess if
You said you would admit something if
Only I came clean and
I confessed and
That's when I gave you
That's when I responded with
Your own medicine
The same treatment you gave me
Which you believed in
Which you trusted
But it wasn't true true true

A longer time than two months
And we ain't even speaking
And we are not on talking terms
You don't return my calls

Thinking that you
Believing that you

Will somehow balance the scales
Why you act a fool fool fool
Why you behave recklessly
There is something that ain't right
Something is not correct

Incognito and creeping
Hiding and being deceitful
If it's so then let me know cause you
If that's the case, then inform me because you
Confuse my feelings
Make me feel uncertain and troubled
I'm about to lose it lose it lose it
I'm at my breaking point
Why you tryin' to switch it 'round
Why are you attempting to turn the situation around?
I can't believe you
I cannot comprehend you
Give me this nonsense
Tell me this foolishness
How you gonna tell me I let you down
How can you say that I disappointed you
If you got a little bit heart in you
If you have a compassionate spirit
Can you please explain
Can you clarify
Why you flip the coin around
Why you reverse the situation
I know I've done a lot of bad
I acknowledge my mistakes
But I never been in bed
But I never slept
With another lady trust me it's true
With another woman, believe me, it's true
And the proof that you claim that you got
And the evidence that you allege you have
Is nothing but a
Is merely
Way for you to come up
A tactic for you to come up
With an excuse
With a justification
To smooth and slowly get away
To gradually disappear graciously
Too afraid to tell it
Too scared to confess
Straight to my face
Directly to me
Six years I stayed with you
I was with you for six years
Laid with you
Slept with you
Is this how you gonna play
Is this your approach
It's OK it's alright
It's acceptable
Go ahead and scram
Go away
By the night that you wake up
By the time you come back to reality
You gon' regret it
You will wish you had acted differently
That you lost a good man
That you lost a valuable partner
For sure
Without a doubt
