i was young man
not a wise man
i was given
then mistreated
can't get even
always been
had me plottin' on the future when you been gone
i know nothing lasts forever
why would you rather get up
than get down
in disguise now my eyes can see
i would never ever sweat you
i was still betting on you from tokyo
california
my east atlanta home
i dap up the floor in rose petals believin' that the beauty would be magic enough
but you ain't never pull up
no you ain't never pull up
and i'm feeling better
ever since i left ya
this is not a mystery
and i'm praying for ya
karma can't ignore ya
no revenge is not for me
i won't take ya back
there's no strings attached
there is only memory
let me take it back
to the day in fact you left me for hisstory
oh yeahhhh
ohhhh oh
did i promise
everything would?
wise man
wise man
wise man
overcome the tyrant
now my balance
balance
balance
overcome the challenge

and my people bleeding and losing
dying like jesus choosing
