You I trusted your intentions a trust you took Advantage of Now you, are sitting in the hole that you dug Around yourself [Chorus] You've lied so much you thinks it's true Do you know what the truth is? How does someone get to be like you The king of all excuses Is she your partner in deception or caught inside the web you've spun? Did you forget that you were family, the damage you have done [Chorus] I trusted you I trusted in you This time your gonna get it All the things you've done coming back to you This time your gona feel it Your conscience slowly suffocating you In time you will regret it Say goodbye to all the things You've gotten used to Life will find a way To bring this karma to you To bring this karma to you [Chorus] Everything must come full circle It kills me that I feel this hurtful I wonder what your children think of you The king of all excuses
