lyrics

Karen - they just met you
But I ain't no damn fool
No damn fool baby
No damn fool baby

Karen - they just met you
But I ain't no damn fool
No damn fool baby
No damn fool baby

'Cause you'll try to play me
And I'll take you to school
School
School
School

Karen - you saw me grilling
Now you calling 911
Calling 911
Calling 911

Karen - you just saw me chilling
Why you calling 911?
Calling 911
Calling 911

You said I'm big and black and threatening
Now the cop has drawn his gun
Gun
Gun
Gun

Oh yeah
Got the Karen blues
Karen blues baby
Karen blues baby

Oh yeah
I got the Karen blues
Karen blues baby
Karen blues baby

Woah yeah
And it's bad, real bad news
News
News
News

Karen - you and I go way back
When one wrong look could kill
Looks could kill baby
Looks could kill baby

Karen - you and I go way back
When one wrong look could kill
Looks could kill baby
Looks could kill baby

And if you don't believe me
Then go ask Emmett Till
Emmett Till

Karen - I know you too well
Been at least 400 years
400 years baby
400 years baby

Karen - I know you too well
Been at least 400 years
400 years baby
400 years baby

You should know that you can't fool me
With your white woman tears
Tears
Tears
Tears
