Ladies and gentlemen
There are seven acknowledge wonders of the world
You are about to witness the eighthKarma
Poetic Justice
What goes around, comes aroundStop, look, listen, learn
Play with fire and you'll get burned
You think you want some but you don't want none
A fight on the mic, you don't want oneI turn the heat on, proceed to beat on
Any soft sap who think he's gone
Na, come in my realm when I'm at the helm
Nightmare's a joke when I'm on ElmStreet, sleep but you don't dream
Awaken, achin', takin' Codeine
Now you're tryin' to O.D.
'Cause you don't want none of Moe DeePain relievers won't relieve ya
Suicide won't do it either
Even after I cremate you
I'ma reincarnate youBring you back for another round
Just to put you back in the ground
Over and over again
When is it over, it endsWhen I die but I won't die, don't try
Rhyme forever, huh, why won't I
Crush whoever tries to crush this
Hurt like the truth, poetic justicePoetic JusticeWhat goes around, comes around
Goes around, comes around
What goes around, comes around
Goes around, comes aroundDoing justice to poetryThis is a flurry, a fist of fury
A rhyme so fast that it has to blurry
Your vision, don't wink, blink or stop to think
Or you might miss the next rhyme, inkFlows from the brain to the pen
And comes alive when the thought transcends
From the pen to the paper and paper to tape
And a tape to wax and back to the tapeAnother hit which you can't get with
A brainiac'll react, but a nitwit
Can't relate, he can't hold the weight
The rhyme's too deep and he sleeps awakeThe comatose need a double dose
'Cause Kool Moe Dee don't rhyme like most
Simplified rhymes or out of the norm
But I simplify as I'm to performRecords for the pop [unverified] playlist
The pop jocks, don't play this
In an intent to hold rap back
They stop the hard and play the wackThey play the weak 'cause the weak won't speak
But that just makes a fan go seek
A station that they know will bust this
Poetic justice
(Who's on the radio)Poetic JusticeWhat goes around, comes around
Goes around, comes around
What goes around, comes around
Goes around, comes aroundDoing justice to poetryPoetic, phonetic, genetic, fanatic
You connect it
Those who chose to oppose are foes
And usually can't grow afrosAs the rhyme flows, the spirit grows
But only those with a pure soul knows
The relevance of the beat of the drum
And where it's comin' fromFor those of you who just don't listen
Here's the second boat you're missin'
Just like Noah, had you swimmin'
Rap's the warnin' of an endin'Of an era, a reign of terror
Over like a nova, never ever
Try to amplify the lie
The truth won't die and that's why IA versatile child of the Nile
Speak with a ghetto style and meanwhile
The reason I relate to the youth
Is pure souls can feel the truthThe poisoned souls have tried to stop it
But just stop it 'cause hip-hop is
From our roots and you can't touch this
This is our ancestors' poetic justicePoetic JusticeWhat goes around, comes around
Goes around, comes around
What goes around, comes around
Goes around, comes aroundDoing justice to poetry
