We hear you crying

So bitterly

Trying to get people to help you ye ye

But nobody will

Your son was brutalizing people

every time. But you said nothing

Now it's the time to pay the price

It's time to pay ye ye ye ye

Chorus:

You gonna reap just what you sow (x4)

Coming back home

With stolen things

Instead of telling him

How wrong he was

You told him how clever he was

People coming out o f burning houses

It's your son

Driving stolen cars every time

It's your son, But you said nothing

But now he's turning against you

Chorus:

You gonna reap just what you sow (x4)

Everybody knows

No jail can keep him

'Cause you rubbing shoulders

with the law

But now it's time to pay

the price wo...woh

Chorus:

You gonna reap just what you sow (x4)
