[English]

You lay here with me, you're shuttin' down

I smell her on ya, I'm focused now

I know what's goin' on in your head, yeah

I know what's happened here in our bed, yeah

Your phone is buzzin', so pick it up

I know she callin', so what the fuck?

I should've known a cheat stays a cheater

So here we are

And there goes the alarm ringin' in my head

Like somebody said, "Don't you trust him, no"

Text in from his ex, what did you expect?

Now you're lyin' here knowin' where he goes

Now he gotta getcha, karma is a bitch, yeah

Same way that they come that's the way they go

Now he gotta getcha, rewindin' the picture

There goes the alarm and the sirens go

There goes the alarm

I saw it comin', I let it go

My girls will tell me, "I told you so"

But I was so intrigued by your style, boy

I always been a sucker for a wild boy

I'm better than this, I know my worth

I might be gettin' what I deserve

But I ain't stickin' 'round for the rerun

What's done is done

And there goes the alarm ringin' in my head

Like somebody said, "Don't you trust him, no"

Text in from his ex, what did you expect?

Now you're lyin' here knowin' where he goes

Now he gotta getcha, karma is a bitch, yeah

Same way that they come that's the way they go

Now he gotta getcha, rewindin' the picture

There goes the alarm and the sirens go

There goes the alarm

Now he gotta getcha

Same way that they go

Now he gotta getcha

...

There goes the alarm, yeah

Same way that they go

Now he gotta getcha, yeah

...

Bang bang, two-shots fired

Man down, one fool, one liar

Ring ring, trust gone missin'

House on fire, house on fire

Bang bang, two-shots fired

Man down, one fool, one liar

Ring ring, trust gone missin'

House on fire

And there goes the alarm ringin' in my head

Like somebody said, "Don't you trust him, no"

Text in from his ex, what did you expect?

Now you're lyin' here knowin' where he goes

Now he gotta getcha, karma is a bitch, yeah

Same way that they come that's the way they go

Now he gotta getcha, rewindin' the picture

There goes the alarm and the sirens go

There goes the alarm

Now he gotta getcha

There goes the alarm

There goes the alarm

Now he gotta getcha

There goes the alarm

There goes the alarm
