bagrada1 yoyo..maya jupiter on monday nights..shiwing my age but i useto tape that on actaual cassette tapes..still got boxes of em..i should upload em..peace
i remember 2005 , i was in year 10 id rap the chorus and my class mates would cheer me on , good times i think i found these guys on that old website planet urban or mayb old skool syn fm, ahh good times ay
I remember when I found this on Digg (anyone remember that site) around when this was first posted to TH-cam. This shit still bangs all these years later!
[Intro: N'fa] Karma What goes around comes around right? (Right) How you treat people is how they treat you back Disrespect them or knock them They're gonna slap you back (Yeah) Sometimes it hurts and that's Bad karma, watch out for it [Chorus: N'fa] How am I supposed to live in a world of negatives? How am I supposed to love in a world full of push and shove? How am I supposed to breathe in a world full of lust and greed? Well, I guess I'll have to live day to day And pray to God that'll I'll be okay-ay-ay [Verse 1: N'fa] These fat raps think they fit like they the Iron Man I got the iron tongue and the iron hand, I'll make the final stand The final showdowns come round and hit ya As I throw down my gauntlet to switch the picture If ya look in the mirror, you're bound to get a reflection Like with every action, there is a reaction With your dodgy actions, you're causing negative drama And if you know God's law, you best watch for karma Now I'mma bomb ya, running your traps like tacks You think you're floating on the cream, you and your rat pack Well I'm take that, thought back, now let's dwell How I should lock you like jail cells so we can exhale I'm a bull and you's a matador, I'm seeing red, you outta sorts I'm a target like darts boards, you floating in space like astronauts I started off last but now I'm first While you're shaking, I cut off like umbilicals at birth [Chorus: N'fa] How am I supposed to live in a world of negatives? How am I supposed to love in a world full of push and shove? How am I supposed to breathe in a world full of lust and greed? Well, I guess I'll have to live day to day And pray to God that'll I'll be okay-ay-ay [Verse 2: N'fa] I look around the city and it's all such a pity Everybody trying to be pretty, don't care for nitty gritty I look around the block, nobody's playing hopscotch They're to busy on the internet surfing that rock Just converse kind of rude, like "So what you trying to prove, mate?" I say, "Nothing, I'm just tryna build the feeling, not live like you" I got plans to take this city up to Senate As life's one big race and I want all entries to win it If you're not with it like quitters, then get out of my face You got no place in my grace with your grimace You're a disgrace with a sire, you need to recon through your fire And look higher, higher! (Look around) I got sounds that help you get down, so you can get up And avoid them stinking rats that get me fed up Yeah, they make me wanna throw up, they gotta grow up Or they'll be feeling abandoned while I'll be sailing like Noah [Chorus: N'fa] How am I supposed to live in a world of negatives? How am I supposed to love in a world full of push and shove? How am I supposed to breathe in a world full of lust and greed? Well, I guess I'll have to live day to day And pray to God that'll I'll be okay-ay-ay [Interlude: N'fa] Melbourne, Sydney, to Brisbane, and Darwin To Perth, Adelaide, Tassie And all across the O-Z-Z-I-E [Verse 3: N'fa] Picture I'm the boulder, it's time to roll I will continue like part two with no to and fro Aiming at infinity, start a nasty road Had to leave the poor luck souls before they fall, so I got the key to the door and I'm searching for the keyhole And I unlock the door, I bring new love to my people Unlike these fickle fanatics that wanna cause death Cut hopes late, praying we fall to hell's depth As I watch and see all our progress regress As what goes up comes down, nevertheless We stung by the horror, cold hearts with armour Boomerang effect as we all face our karma [Chorus: N'fa] How am I supposed to live in a world of negatives? How am I supposed to love in a world full of push and shove? How am I supposed to breathe in a world full of lust and greed? Well, I guess I'll have to live day to day And pray to God that'll I'll be okay-ay-ay
@@thesammyjenkinsexperience4996 Admittedly, besides 1200 Techniques in this album... I completely agree, we're trash and just think we can adopt the culture like everything else from the USA, and we butcher it like everything else imported, too. But there was something about this one in particular that worked.
@@OfARisenFall Imagine writing off an entire nations' contibution to a culture then being like 'yeah but this one popular radio song was alright though'. Absolute wanker take. I bet you think all that 'butchering imported US culture' shit doesn't apply to rock music though...
@@AfferbeckBeats Album* not song. And yeah it does apply to rock music as well. I prefer listening to old school hip hop that had the meaning behind it, talking about the struggles of living, the society and daily challenges they faced. You know, the poetic side of it. Like Respiration by Mos Def. That's why I liked this first album of 1200 Techniques. Each to their own anyway, man. But the point still stands that pretty much every form of media we have these days is an attempt to convert from others, but we never pull it off. 99% of the public just think "oi, this shit sounds good, let's do it too".
To all going on talking bout funkwhores your at the wrong place if you type funkwhores in the searchbar it will take you to somewhere you can talk all that . I typed 1200 techniques because i wanted to listen and talk about real music
I'm commenting again cause I love love love this song. I had to google "music videos with puppets" to find this song. Cause I was 6 when I last heard it & couldn't remember the name!
Remember when this came out me n a couple mates were hanging at the local park and a guy rocked up giving away the "Karna" single and pepsi merch, this got thumped at plenty of house parties
5 years later and now American style mumble rappers & drill wankers have infested your country's scene. At least Kerser actually bothered to you know... FUCKING RAP.
This joint still blowing my speakers up at the end of 2023. Classic.
Nice
This song randomly popped in my head! I haven’t listened to it since it was on rage! Hope these guys are still around
Supposedly Heath Ledger was part of this
Just happened to me, sending it to all the homies asking where they remember it from
and me
They haven’t made an album in 20 years
watching rage the chosen ones vol 1 dvd as a kid and having this song pop in my head just now bought me here
I remember buying this single.. Such a weapon. Still listening years and years later!
Still a great tune all these years later....what a song!
And it makes sense
Thank you for being here
This deserves more plays, it's a classic in the Oz hip-hop genre.
Damn right
Rumors are Heath helped with the video...
One of the best live acts I ever had the pleasure to watch
Reminds me of Triple J back in the early 2000s with a radio and a tape, listening to Rosie Beaton.
bagrada1 yoyo..maya jupiter on monday nights..shiwing my age but i useto tape that on actaual cassette tapes..still got boxes of em..i should upload em..peace
And Paul McDermott and Mikey Robbins doing the JJJ breakfast show ...
Fu@k yes back when triple jjj played good shit and not just hipster crap🤟
I never did marry Rosie.
Aussie hip hop was always wonderful, I love Scribe too
man, i was so into this in 2002ish .. and it still slaps. nice
Great music never leaves it's message
Went for walk around Fitzroy today and saw the 1200 Techniques street art, bloody awesome that is!
This song will live forever.
Old school. Loved hearing it again
I remember seeing these guys at BDO on the same stage as Jet, what an awesome year that was! Love this song :-)
Omg I love this song. & he even said my home city brisbane baby
Used to love this, back in the day, still do!
Ningen ISU is cool, but this is genius
This song and film clip are awesome... how does this not have more views...
Best Australian hip hop crew ever
Love Aussie hip hop..the best 🇦🇺🇦🇺💪🇦🇺💖🇦🇺💪🇦🇺💖🇦🇺
they were next level awesome to watch live
Besides Def Wish Cast
This might sound stupid but I never knew they were aussie
of course. Right after Hill Top Hoods...
Just met the guy at school for my English class. What a legend
Blast from the past. Love it. Thank you.
Why doesn't this have more views, thank you Heath Ledger.
Heath didn't direct this, thats a myth, someone else in his company did.
@@okamifan1productions458 interesting, well he did direct King Rat by Modest Mouse, thanks for replying.
i remember 2005 , i was in year 10 id rap the chorus and my class mates would cheer me on , good times i think i found these guys on that old website planet urban or mayb old skool syn fm, ahh good times ay
Needs so many more views this song is the sickest!!!
remembering in 2022. Still fire!
I remember when I found this on Digg (anyone remember that site) around when this was first posted to TH-cam. This shit still bangs all these years later!
Damn, this still goes hard. Why can't Aussie hip hop reach this point again?
Best Aussie hip hop song ever
I feel this song deeply, thankyou x
1200 techniques, a DJ, rock guitarist and the Genie from the Tim Tam commercials
classic song from back in the day
nah man i was listening to this in 2004 and it had been around for a while back then.
This was directed by Michael Gracey - Director of The Greatest Showman
THANK YOU! People out here keep spreading the heath leger myth... Heath directed some of N'fa's solo work, not any 1200 Techniques stuff.
HOLY CRAP! HERE IT IS! I've been looking for this music video for ages and I couldn't remember anything about it except for the puppets!
good song first time hearing this song tonight
BROTHER Louie !! GR8 BACKGROUND MUSIC. THE ORIGINAL HAS A SERIOUS MESSAGE - GIVE IT A LISTEN TO.
Karma what goes around Comes around..... perfect
Less a Central Banker...
2004 Big day out Gold coast can't top it!
gotta love heath ledger's directing
Thank you! I wasn't sure if it was The Stage by Avenge Seven Full, or something else, it was Heath.
This wasn't Heath, it was one of his associates, Heath only directed some vids for NFA's solo career.
before his passing.
@@okamifan1productions458 oh thanks. you know if he directed the video for king rat?
This needs more views!
The song that could fix 2020!
banger
Underrated influence on Oz hip-hop🙏
Dope!!
[Intro: N'fa]
Karma
What goes around comes around right? (Right)
How you treat people is how they treat you back
Disrespect them or knock them
They're gonna slap you back (Yeah)
Sometimes it hurts and that's
Bad karma, watch out for it
[Chorus: N'fa]
How am I supposed to live in a world of negatives?
How am I supposed to love in a world full of push and shove?
How am I supposed to breathe in a world full of lust and greed?
Well, I guess I'll have to live day to day
And pray to God that'll I'll be okay-ay-ay
[Verse 1: N'fa]
These fat raps think they fit like they the Iron Man
I got the iron tongue and the iron hand, I'll make the final stand
The final showdowns come round and hit ya
As I throw down my gauntlet to switch the picture
If ya look in the mirror, you're bound to get a reflection
Like with every action, there is a reaction
With your dodgy actions, you're causing negative drama
And if you know God's law, you best watch for karma
Now I'mma bomb ya, running your traps like tacks
You think you're floating on the cream, you and your rat pack
Well I'm take that, thought back, now let's dwell
How I should lock you like jail cells so we can exhale
I'm a bull and you's a matador, I'm seeing red, you outta sorts
I'm a target like darts boards, you floating in space like astronauts
I started off last but now I'm first
While you're shaking, I cut off like umbilicals at birth
[Chorus: N'fa]
How am I supposed to live in a world of negatives?
How am I supposed to love in a world full of push and shove?
How am I supposed to breathe in a world full of lust and greed?
Well, I guess I'll have to live day to day
And pray to God that'll I'll be okay-ay-ay
[Verse 2: N'fa]
I look around the city and it's all such a pity
Everybody trying to be pretty, don't care for nitty gritty
I look around the block, nobody's playing hopscotch
They're to busy on the internet surfing that rock
Just converse kind of rude, like
"So what you trying to prove, mate?"
I say, "Nothing, I'm just tryna build the feeling, not live like you"
I got plans to take this city up to Senate
As life's one big race and I want all entries to win it
If you're not with it like quitters, then get out of my face
You got no place in my grace with your grimace
You're a disgrace with a sire, you need to recon through your fire
And look higher, higher! (Look around)
I got sounds that help you get down, so you can get up
And avoid them stinking rats that get me fed up
Yeah, they make me wanna throw up, they gotta grow up
Or they'll be feeling abandoned while I'll be sailing like Noah
[Chorus: N'fa]
How am I supposed to live in a world of negatives?
How am I supposed to love in a world full of push and shove?
How am I supposed to breathe in a world full of lust and greed?
Well, I guess I'll have to live day to day
And pray to God that'll I'll be okay-ay-ay
[Interlude: N'fa]
Melbourne, Sydney, to Brisbane, and Darwin
To Perth, Adelaide, Tassie
And all across the O-Z-Z-I-E
[Verse 3: N'fa]
Picture I'm the boulder, it's time to roll
I will continue like part two with no to and fro
Aiming at infinity, start a nasty road
Had to leave the poor luck souls before they fall, so
I got the key to the door and I'm searching for the keyhole
And I unlock the door, I bring new love to my people
Unlike these fickle fanatics that wanna cause death
Cut hopes late, praying we fall to hell's depth
As I watch and see all our progress regress
As what goes up comes down, nevertheless
We stung by the horror, cold hearts with armour
Boomerang effect as we all face our karma
[Chorus: N'fa]
How am I supposed to live in a world of negatives?
How am I supposed to love in a world full of push and shove?
How am I supposed to breathe in a world full of lust and greed?
Well, I guess I'll have to live day to day
And pray to God that'll I'll be okay-ay-ay
