Overview
“Karma” is the ninth track on Summer Walker’s first album, Last Day Of Summer. “Karma” is a smooth ballad that serves as a warning as well as a reminder for men mistreating their significant others. The song describes a woman who enters a relationship with the purpose of inflicting the same pain and heartbreak on a man that he had imposed on his previous lovers. She reminds him that she does not owe him pity or affection as she is with him just to ‘do her job’ as karma.
Summer used to be a stripper. So that’s what she means when she says she’s just here to do her job. Men get caught up in strippers, they fall in love for one night. They want them to go home with them. She’s their karma for all the girls they’ve done wrong. She doesn’t really like them, she just wants her money.
Karma Lyrics
Intro
I told you, you better stay prayed up
You never thought the universe be looking for revenge
Pre-Chorus
You can't keep just doing them girls like that
Thinking that nobody finna bite back
Losing your mind baby
Can't be sure, time's wasting
Chorus
Nice to meet you, I'm sorry
I'm just here to do my job
Nice to meet you, no running
Please don't fear me, I'm just karma
Verse
Let me dance for you, I'm sorry
You'll wanna love me strong, then I'm gone
This feeling's just for you and your wrongs
I am just here to do my job
Devil in disguise, oh
Dressed in all white, swear you so down
Think I'm supposed to ride, oh
You done told me I should be the only one around
Talking 'bout you'll make it my way
Made it my-, made it my way
Think I gotta run, boy, you don't wanna be telling me
Take me to your momma house
I'm sorry if you never doubted me
But you should've doubted
('Cause I told you, yeah)
Pre-Chorus
'Cause, don't you know you can't be doing them girls like that?
Thinking that nobody finna bite back
Losing your mind baby
Can't be sure, time's wasting
[Chorus]
Nice to meet you, I'm sorry
I'm just here to do my job
Nice to meet you, then sudden
I reveal you, I'm just karma
Bridge
Let me dance for you, I'm sorry
Do you wanna love me strong, then I'm gone
This feeling, what we have, then it stops
I am just here to do my job
Do my job, oh-oh, yeah
Do my job
Outro
Oh woah, oh oh oh
Oh woah, oh oh oh
Oh woah, oh oh oh
Yeah, yeah, oh
