Karate Kid Lyrics

[Chorus 1]
Staying up all night, sunset to sunrise
Moonlight igniting your green eyes
Crash on your bed, twin size
Cause I don't really got a home

Sleeping in all day, sunrise to sunset
Made me lose my mind in that red dress
Tattoo'd your heart on my chest
Cause I don't wanna be alone


[Verse 2]
Bruce Lee with my beats, no, Mr. Miyagi
Karate chop my drum pockets
, ain't nobody can stop me
When I'm popping off, potentially my melodies are heavenly
Rap's credibility is gone, bitch I'm the remedy
Still keeping my intensity, integrity, no jealousy
Doing it for the legacy, new records 'til I'm seventy
Caught myself a strawberry blonde
Catch us chilling on the beach, listening to Reggaeton
She called it Puppy Love, but it's more like Doggystyle
Breaststroking, Michael Phelps, like I'm swimming up The Nile
Flow's fast, like that river
James Dean, but I'm slicker
Hit you quicker than this liquor
Thicker than your babysitter
It's a picture perfect life, I'm a slave to the studio
Schoolyard Julio, young forever, Rufio
Peter Pangaea, world-wide,
grim reaper
With my scythe, getting bread, not talking 'bout Pita

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
