[Verse 1]
I made a deal with the devil and look where it got me
There's blood on her hands and the cotton is rotten
Tried everything, it might not seem like a lot
But she was out for war and war's what she got
I should've known better, should've kept to myself
Forget about the halo, we're all going to hell
If I go down, I'm taking you with
'Cause working for the reaper, girl, ain't no way to live
[Chorus]
Mama, you're daggers and smiles, but soon
Your karma gonna come in the night for you
'Cause honey you're one of a kind, you're through
Get up, get up
Mama, you're daggers and smiles, but soon
Your karma gonna come in the night for you
You better not put up a fight or you're through
So get up, get up
[Verse 2]
For once i tried to be honest, I finally spit fire
All I needed was time, but it was down to the wire
Now I ain't tryin' to tell ya that my shit don't stink
On any other day I wouldn't care what you think
Tell it to me straight, what would you have me be?
Look me in the eye, tell me what you see
Am I ticking all the boxes of your fantasy?
Still ain't working for the reaper, no apologies
[Chorus]
Mama, you're daggers and smiles, but soon
Your karma gonna come in the night for you
'Cause honey, you're one of a kind, you're through
Get up, get up
Mama, you're daggers and smiles, but soon
Your karma gonna come in the night for you
You better not put up a fight or you're through
So get up, get up
[Instrumental Bridge]
Get up, get up
[Verse 3]
You might've thought you had a leg up but you blend in the crowd
And your voice don't carry, though it used to be loud
Got shade for days, a sharpened blade
Bitch, don't complain, lie in the bed that you made
I should've known better, should've kept to myself
Forget about the halo, we're all going to hell
If I go down, I'm taking you with
'Cause working for the reaper, girl, ain't no way live
[Chorus]
Mama, you're daggers and smiles, but soon
Your karma gonna come in the night for you
'Cause honey, you're one of a kind, you're through
Get up, get up
Mama, you're daggers and smiles, but soon
Your karma gonna come in the night for you
You better not put up a fight or you're through
So get, up get up
Mama, you're daggers and smiles, but soon
Your karma gonna come in the night for you
'Cause honey, you're one of a kind, you're through
Get up, get up
Mama you're daggers and smiles, but soon
Your karma gonna come in the night for you
You better not put up a fight or you're through
So get up, get up
