Hey yo, Khadejia, Khadejia
I hope when you receive this letter
You're in good health
Keep your head up, baby
See you home in the year two thousand
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
1 - What goes around
It comes back around again
It's the chance I take, I keep the faith
And hope one day you beat the case
And ay yah yah yah
I been around (Baby)
Singing background (Baby)
Please listen to my demo (Baby)
Now I got a deal
How does it feel (Baby)
When you don't know what is real (Baby)
All I have is thoughts of you (Baby)
Hoping that my dreams come true
2 - What goes up must come down
So we spread love all around
To the ghettos everywhere
Throw your hands up, boy
Cuz I'll always be right here
[
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
3 - What goes around
It comes back around again
I've been around thugs
Around danced around
Time to shine
Yah, yah
Repeat 1
People will smile all in your face
Promise you the world just to get inside
I can't deny sometimes I fell for the hype
Then I opened up my eyes, I saw demons in disguise
Repeat 2
Repeat 3
Repeat 1
Yo, yo, now they got my boo, bust a federal blue
Slip on shoes in the hole for breakin' house rules
Payin' street dues, doin' time for his block
While I'm sellin' his insurance, crack Plymouth Rock
So when the gun blow, we find new gun hole
Willie hiding in the weeping willow from my shadow, Billy
Tryin' a rubber Khadejia free, in Japan it Lucia vest might be
But your head ain't bulletproof
They can't hold you down no more, no more
They can't hold me down no more, no more
(Put your lighters in the air)
They can't hold you down no more, no more
They can't hold me down no more, no more
Where you from, where you from
Where you from, where you from
Brooklyn, Brooklyn, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
Repeat 3 & 1...
The song "What Goes Around" by Khadejia tells a story of hope and perseverance through difficult times. The song begins with a letter being written to someone who is away, possibly in prison, and hoping that they are in good health. The chorus emphasizes the idea of karma, that what goes around comes back around, and encourages holding onto faith in the face of uncertainty. The second verse spreads a message of love and solidarity to all those in difficult situations, particularly those in ghettos. There is also an acknowledgement of the deceptive nature of people who may promise the world but have hidden motives.
The third verse is more personal, with Khadejia reflecting on her own experiences around "thugs" and the negativity that surrounds those environments. However, she uses this verse to emphasize the idea of moving beyond those situations and shining despite the obstacles. The final section of the song includes some spoken word parts, including references to someone being in prison and Khadejia's own experiences selling insurance and being involved in gun violence. However, the overall message remains one of overcoming adversity and not letting anyone hold you down.

What goes around
The consequences of one's actions will eventually catch up with them
It comes back around again
The consequences will have an impact on that person in the future
It's the chance I take, I keep the faith
I am taking the risk, but I have faith that everything will work out in the end
And hope one day you beat the case
I hope that one day you will be cleared of your charges
And ay yah yah yah
Expressing emotion and agreement
What goes up must come down
Everything that rises must eventually fall
So we spread love all around
We share love and positivity with everyone
To the ghettos everywhere

Throw your hands up, boy
An expression of joy and excitement
