[Chorus]

Uh oh, uh oh, down low

Uh oh, uh oh, down low

Uh oh, uh oh, down low


[Verse 1]

I am not who I want to be

I probably will not ever be

I drove my car on June 14th

I drove it right on down the street

I had not had any sleep

So I ate Minithins to stay awake

You crashed your car right into me

There was two days I didn't sleep


[Chorus]

Uh oh, uh oh, down low

Uh oh, uh oh, down low

Uh oh, uh oh, down low


[Verse 2]

I am not who I want to be

I probably will not ever be

I took a trip down to California


[Refrain]

Karma payment plan

K-Karma payment plan

Karma payment plan

Karma payment plan


[Verse 3]

My car broke down on in the street

The radiator sprung a leak

I met this guy, he said that he could help me


[Refrain]

I'm on the karma payment plan

I'm on the karma payment plan


[Verse 4]

We went to his house and did some speed

He said karma would pay for this deed

He got it fixed and he started to scare me

I ditched him eventually

And came back for the van the next morning


[Refrain]

I'm on the karma payment plan

I'm on the karma payment plan


[Outro]

I went to LA

The next day I got jacked in a really bad way

I cannot tell you

But it's a long story
