[English]

I told you, you better stay prayed up

You never thought the universe be looking for revenge

...

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

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

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, only one around

Talking 'bout you 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)

'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

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

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'm just here to do my job

Do my job, oh-oh, yeah

Do my job

Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh

Yeah, yeah, oh
