What Goes Around Comes Around
Mr. Shadow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm not like Snoop, talking about the gambino
I'm Mr. Shadow, I got you wet El Nino, ike Nino Brown
But In my part of town, motherfuckas that be wondering
End up on the ground, from the roots of soul
I was born to be a foe, beware nothing
In this world could have scare me, stare me down
Like if you got pops, a barrage of gun shots putting and end to the cops
And now it's just me and you, and I'll be seeing you
At your gave for trying to act brave, you could of stayed
But the pigs couldn't wait, and those fools that betrayed
For your ass that never prayed, for cheers if you never shed a tear
Now you sleep with the maggots you motherfuckin' fagots
Your clan should have never ran cause I'm the man
Mr. Shadow gots you motherfuckers stranded in my land

[Chorus: x2]
What goes around comes around, the tables turns
It's the Shadow of your death come back I'm gonna burn
You slip away slow but I won't it go, what goes around comes around

I walk up in the cemetery and I was buried
But then I made out when you thought you laid me out
And now it's all about the pay back, think of way back
I'm your terror, your enemy forever, so let's call the priest
Ain't no peace til deceased, I be the first moth'fucker to release
My demon, I know I got you dreamin' and screamin', stirring up the news
Cause you heard I broke the rules, never leaving clues, I'm refusin' to lose
Every fool that I stake, be's believe I payed my dues, many clues that took
Live my life as a crook, take look where ya step or I might resurrect
And Huantcha, bitch motherfucker cause I wantcha
Teach y'all a lesson that your momma never taughtcha,
I shotcha, took ya for the life you were living, your enemy for life
And you still see me grinning

[Chorus]

I'll see you in the next life, I'll be waiting
If you think you've seen the last of me, you're mistaking
Now you don't have to ask, let me run you down the facts
They way you bust raps is the way up bust caps, fuck the snaps
I gave you all my testimony, you're a fraud you's a fake
And forever be a fony, now throw away your fantasy
That you were me, but never could it be, because I'm bigger then the sea
I saw ya coming, I was walking you were running,
And all of a sudden I was pointin' and blastin', at you
I was taking away every day that you lived, and I never forgive
Unforgiven, psycho way I was driven with the evils how I'm livin'
6 letters in my name, 6 thoughts up in my brain, 6 shots from my slug
Gotcha wakin' up in a frame, a memory of you but it's all because of me
Till you paid for your sins is the day I set you free





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

In Mr. Shadow's song "What Goes Around Comes Around," he raps about his reputation as a ruthless and vengeful figure in his part of town. He acknowledges that he is not like Snoop, who raps about being associated with powerful mafia figures, but rather someone who is feared and respected in his own right. The lyrics describe how those who cross Mr. Shadow or betray him will end up on the ground, and that nothing in this world could scare him. The chorus warns that what goes around comes around, and that the tables can turn quickly.


The second verse conveys the message that Mr. Shadow believes he was buried alive, but managed to escape and is now seeking revenge on those who wronged him. He is depicted as a force of terror and an enemy forever, who is willing to use any means necessary to get what he wants. The lyrics make it clear that there will be no peace until those who have crossed him are dead, and that he is the first to release his demons. The final verse is directed at someone who apparently claims to be like Mr. Shadow, but is nothing more than a fraud and a fake. He warns that he will not hesitate to take action against anyone who tries to imitate him, and that paying for one's sins is the only way to be set free.
