Irony and Karma,
Sadistic twins of fate
All up in your face
After all the moves you had to make

Just when victory looms
POP!
Lit cigarette to your balloon...

Twin bullies slap boxin at the end of the tunnel
Play fightin in the light at the tip of the funnel
Waiting for you as you spiral down about to be pummeled

Irony dodgin blows
But you keep swinging
Karma half Laughin
Half singing
"MERRY GO ROUN' N ROUN'..."
Like a demented AL B Sure

You tryina even the score
Not enough energy in store

"I need a second wind" you implore
Blood sweat and tears bubble in your core
Gittin' back on your feet is a struggle- a chore

"I've been on this Street before " you hear yourself murmur
Feeling weak and sore
On your hands and knees
Body bruised, nerves raw

Spit out teeth, a chunk of skin from your lip
Tryina see but your eyes are slits

Call Irony a punk
Karma a btch
They got this round
But you know this ain't it
They can't make you give up
Don't back down
Not a bit
This is life
Ha ha
I love this sht
