Back in the day, they had me cornered, no escape,
Laughed in my face, and all I could do was take,
Silent tears, in the dark where hope was thin,
But I buried my fears, and the fight began within.
Couldn't tell a soul, I was drowning deep inside,
But I hit those books, yeah, I had to survive,
Graduated top, left that pain in the past,
But those memories haunt, they ain't fading fast.
(Yeah) Who's laughing now? (Say what?)
Tables turned, and I'm on top somehow,
(Yeah) No more tears, no more pain,
Just success in the fast lane. (Oh, oh)
I see you now, tired eyes, head down low,
Used to be so bold, but where'd that bravado go?
You don't recognize, but I know who you are,
Karma's a b***h, and it hits hard, no matter how far.
(Yeah) Ordered the best, let the good times roll,
Raised my glass, yeah, this is my control,
Silent revenge, just a smile and a tip,
Now you're serving me, life's flipped the script.
Saw you walk over, not a spark in your eyes,
Once you had the power, now you're the one who cries,
Used to steal my lunch, now you're begging for change,
Funny how life works, how the roles rearrange.
I could've said a word, brought you to your knees,
But I played it cool, like a summer breeze,
No need to lash out, I let the moment speak,
You're just another face, lost and weak.
(Yeah) Who's laughing now? (Say what?)
Tables turned, and I'm on top somehow,
(Yeah) No more tears, no more pain,
Just success in the fast lane. (Oh, oh)
Remember the days, when you had the upper hand?
Now look who's here, who's got the last stand?
I ain't gotta scream, I ain't gotta shout,
My victory is clear, no room for doubt.
Living my life, while you're stuck in a rut,
I took the high road, while you stayed in the cut,
No regrets, just a lesson learned,
You reap what you sow, now watch as the tables turned.
I see you now, tired eyes, head down low,
Used to be so bold, but where'd that bravado go?
You don't recognize, but I know who you are,
Karma's a Pitch, and it hits hard, no matter how far.
(Yeah) Ordered the best, let the good times roll,
Raised my glass, yeah, this is my control,
Silent revenge, just a smile and a tip,
Now you're serving me, life's flipped the script.
"Hey, tired and hungry? Eat up. It's on me. (Ha-ha)"
And just as she turned to leave, I whispered,
"Jessie, remember me? Yeah, now you do."
