I believe in something called karma, not revenge. I would rather not be involved in a revenge scheme, and just let life happen.

Karma in my opinion is something that just happens it is not forced.

Madeline

I remember that some of my friends got revenge on me for stealing there red bulls so the showed me a video of destroying a whole case of red bull. So i was the cause of the revenge because i took something without asking.

I cannot think of a time when I experienced revenge. If I was involved with revenge it was probably for a good reason.

Emma

There once was a time when I working with my sister and we were defiantly fighting. I hit her arm or something like that, she turned around to kick me, but I grabbed her foot and quickly flipped her and she landed on the ground. We stopped fighting after than, it was affective.

Olivia

Trinity

Revenge with siblings usually end up with the older one getting in trouble which sucks because its pretty much always the little siblings fault.

In sports is where I notice that I wanna get revenge the most like if I get wrecked or if the ball get stolen from me, I don't always get revenge but when I do it makes me feel better.

Madeline

9/30/2021 10:44:28 am

It does help sometimes

brenden

One time someone messed with our friends car so to get revenge we trashed her car as payback.

Tallon Aldous

9/30/2021 10:41:42 am

Thats a good solution.

One time a friend messed with my car. So i got revenge by messing with their car, I felt good about it cause they deserved it.

Trinity

One time I slapped my sister and she slapped me back for revenge on me and we did not solve the problem.

Olivia

9/30/2021 10:42:09 am

Slapping leads nowhere in most cases, you gotta deck them hard for it to be effective.

Jaylee

9/30/2021 10:42:24 am

That is a great example

Keltonn

9/30/2021 10:42:51 am

Was there a reason or was it just a sibling slap?

Mason

I have personally been on both sides of revenge weather it be seriously or jokingly. I have enjoyed both sides because when someone gets revenge on me I have motive to get revenge back and its over when someone either fails or finally gives up. A time when this happen my friends and I where playing a game and they played a funny joke and I answered with my funny joke and it felt great because they had it coming so yeah revenge is a dangerous weapon but a very fun weapon to use.

A time I experienced revenge was when someone stole a bunch of stuff from my front yard. I solved this by slashing their tires.

Hunter

Me and my friends use to like toilet papering each others house when my friends house got toilet papered we got the person back that night and it doesnt usually solve the problem because they will want to get you back again

Madeline

Me and my brothers fight a lot and sometimes it can get out of hand. At one point after one our fights I had left my room but I didn't realize that he was still angry when I got back he had cut one of my dresses in half. It did not solve the problem.

sienna

When I was like 14 and my brother was 18, My mom took my brothers phone when he was in trouble and she took my phone away too. I opened her mascara so that it would dry out. She never found out who did it. It solved nothing but it was funny to us.

Keely

I don't know that I've ever really gotten revenge on anyone. I definitely have thought of scenarios of pulling off an epic revenge story. It never sits right on my conscious to actually take out my anger on someone. Usually it's schemed against someone who really did me wrong like saying something they shouldn't have or spread something untrue. I never see it ending well though, just more hard feelings on each end.

Roahn

A time I got revenge was when I lost to the same kid all year then finally won at districts where it finally mattered. I was getting revenge and it did solve the problem because I made it to state.

Ay yo man, damn what's taking homie so long son?
50, calm down man, he comin'
Ah son, pull up! pull up!
Many men, wish death upon me
Blood in my eye dawg and I can't see
I'm trying to be what I'm destined to be
And niggas trying to take my life away (c'mon)
Put a hole in a nigga for fucking with me
My back on the wall, now you gon' see
Better watch how you talk, when you talk about me
'Cause I'll come and take your life away
Many men, many, many, many, many men
Wish death 'pon me
Lord I don't cry no more
Don't look to the sky no more
Have mercy on me
Now these pussy niggas putting money on my head
Go on and get your refund motherfucker, I ain't dead
I'm the diamond in the dirt, that ain't been found
I'm the underground king and I ain't been crowned
When I rhyme, something special happen every time
I'm the greatest, something like Ali in his prime
I walk the block with the bundles
I've been knocked on the humble
Swing the ox when I rumble
Show your ass what my gun do
Got a temper nigga, go 'head, lose your head
Turn your back on me, get clapped and lose your legs
I walk around gun on my waist, chip on my shoulder
'Til I bust a clip in your face, pussy, this beef ain't over
Many men, many, many, many, many men
Wish death 'pon me
Lord I don't cry no more
Don't look to the sky no more
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on my soul
Somewhere my heart turned cold
Have mercy on many men
Many, many, many, many men
Wish death 'pon me
Sunny days wouldn't be special, if it wasn't for rain
Joy wouldn't feel so good, if it wasn't for pain
Death gotta be easy 'cause life is hard
It'll leave you physically, mentally, and emotionally scarred
This is for my niggas on the block, twisting trees and cigars
For the niggas on lock, doing life behind bars
I don't say, "Only God can judge me" 'cause I see things clear
Quick these crackers will give my black ass a hundred years
I'm like Paulie in Goodfellas, you can call me the Don
Like Malcolm by any means, with my gun in my palm
Slim switched sides on me, let niggas ride on me
I thought we was cool, why you want me to die homie? (homie)
Many men, many, many, many, many men
Wish death 'pon me
Lord I don't cry no more
Don't look to the sky no more
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on my soul
Somewhere my heart turned cold
Have mercy on many men
Many, many, many, many men
Wish death 'pon me
Every night I talk to God but he don't say nothing back
I know he protecting me, but I still stay with my gat
In my nightmares, niggas keep pulling Tecs on me
Psych says some bitch dumb, put a hex on me
The feds didn't know much, when Pac got shot
I got a kite from the pens that told me, Tuck got knocked
I ain't gonna spell it out for you motherfuckers all the time
Are you illiterate nigga? You can't read between the lines
In the bible it says, "What goes around, comes around"
Almost shot me, three weeks later he got shot down
Now it's clear that I'm here, for a real reason
'Cause he got hit like I got hit, but he ain't fucking breathing (breathing)
Many men, many, many, many, many men
Wish death 'pon me
Lord I don't cry no more
Don't look to the sky no more
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on my soul
Somewhere my heart turned cold
Have mercy on many men
Many, many, many, many men
Wish death 'pon me

This one time I was eating a croissant and my brother knocked it out of my hands onto the floor, I murdered him the same day. It did, in fact, solve the problem.
