On That Note: Revenge or Karmic Justice

[bawbie]

He threw me in the needle bed
Across my dress he lay
Then he pinned my hands above my head
And I commenced to pray

I cried my God I am your child
Send your angels down
Then feeling with my finger tips
The bottle neck I found

I drew that glass across his neck
Fine as any blade
Then I felt his blood pour fast and hot
Around me where I laid

This one kinda fits the theme. Video especially illustrates someone that was once shunned throwing their succes back in their face.

 

[bawbie]

Hey ladies, when your man wanna get buckwild
Just go back and hit 'em up style
Get your hands on his cash
And spend it to the last dime for all the hard times

When you go then everything goes
From the crib to the ride and the clothes
So you better let him know that if he messed up, you gotta hit 'em up

Johnnie Taylor – Who's Making Love Lyrics​

Now, tell me, who's makin' love to your old lady while you were out makin' love?

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

He was a Texas lawman legacy
The one day word blew into town
It seemed the men that shot his father down
Had robbed a bank in Cherico
The only thing 'tween them and Mexico
Was Lonesome Dove
The shadows stretched across the land
As the shots rang out down the Rio Grande
And when the smoke had finally cleared the street
The men lay at the ranger's feet
But legend tells to this very day
That shots were comin' from an alleyway
Though no one knows who held the gun
There ain't no doubt if you ask someone
In Lonesome Dove

Trick me once, trick me twice
Don't you know that cash ain't the only price?
It's coming back around


//





I don't start it but I can tell you how it ends
Don't get sad, get even
So on the weekends
I don't dress for friends
Lately I've been dressing for revenge

She needed cold hard proof so I gave her some
She had the envelope, where you think she got it from?
Now she gets the house, gets the kids, gets the pride
Picture me thick as thieves with your ex-wife
And she looks so pretty
Driving in your Benz
Lately she's been dressing for revenge



//





'Cause I know that you're living a lie
But that's okay, baby, 'cause in time you will find

What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around

One of my all time favorites qualifies for karma: Sanford Clark's The Fool.

"Drink to the fool and I'm that fool; that told his baby goodbye."

STB just nailed it in this live performance...
You'll face the aftertaste when you come home late some night
With your eyes all a-mist from the smoke of a distant fire

Revenge in the form of payback, Smiley Lewis and his I Hear You Knockin'

You went away and left me, long time ago. Now you come back, knockin' on my door......I begged you not to go but you said goodbye. Now you come back tellin' all those lies. I hear you knockin' but you can't come in. I hear you knockin', go back where you been.
