Karma's World (2021–…): Season 1, Episode 15 - Episode #1.15 - full transcript
-[switch clicks]
-[Karma gasps]
Are you... Lady K?
Uh, yeah. That's me.
It's you, it's you, it's you!
And now that you're right in front of me,
I just have to say...
-Selfie!
-Uh, okay.
-[camera clicks]
-Wait, hold up!
I don't even know who you are!
Oh! I'm Karma Grant,
and I'm your number-one fan!
Nice to meet you.
Now, how did you fall through my ceiling?
My friends and I were following
these weird symbols
all around the neighborhood to try--
Aw, my old tag!
I painted these so long ago.
Does that mean...
you hid the treasure?
[gasps] I found the treasure!
I found the treasure!
Can I have my treasure now?
[chuckles] There's no treasure here.
There's no treasure?
But the symbols, and the record,
and the lyrics...
♪ When times get dark
Follow the beat of your heart ♪
-[chuckles]
-It's gotta mean something!
Those are the lyrics
to the first song I ever recorded.
But back then, no one would even
play my song on the radio!
So I decided to put it out myself.
So it wasn't a treasure hunt.
You were just painting your lyrics
around the block?
Yep!
Then where have you been all these years?
[announcer] The question
on everyone's lips, where is Lady K?
The famous rapper once known for
traveling around the world has vanished.
Now missing for 15 years,
her fans just want to know,
Lady K, where are you?
[groans] I'm right here!
Sure I had the fancy cars,
the fancy clothes.
But I wasn't happy, I was homesick.
I missed being here,
in the neighborhood I love.
I realized I was just making music
for the money.
So I gave it all up, and came home.
Well, great! That means you can help us!
See, my friend Winston's family
owns the record shop upstairs,
and it's gonna close!
They need money to save it.
Ooh! I have an idea.
We can have a big, big concert
at the Spin Shop!
And then you'll appear,
and the crowd'll go wild!
"Ahhh! Lady K! She's back!
I thought she disappeared!"
And then, everyone will remember
how great the Spin Shop is,
and donate money,
and it will be saved!
[pants] So what do you think?
-I'm not doin' any of that.
-What? But--
I know you think I'm your hero,
but I'm just a person.
Nobody cares about me makin' a comeback.
I can't save your friend's record shop.
I'm not magic, Karta.
Now, isn't it past your bedtime?
But... you said you love our neighborhood.
Now you have a chance
to actually help it with your music.
I can't just up and fix everything.
Like I said, I'm not magic.
[clanging]
You're magic to me.
[Switch grunting]
Hey, Karma! Where you been?
-Last night, I met Lady K.
-You what?
-Huh?
-[Major barks]
Yeah, I heard music, so I followed it,
and it led me
to her secret recording studio.
You expect us
to believe you met Lady K?
No, for real, I'm telling the truth, see?
[Switch] Hey!
It is Lady K!
So, does that mean she was
the mysterious rapper on the record?
The one with the treasure?
There was no treasure.
And when I asked her to help
save the Spin Shop, she said no.
-Aw!
-Aw, man.
I knew it was too good to be true.
First Crash put that video online,
now this? What a terrible day.
Oh, what did Crash put online?
-Oh!
-Uh-oh.
-Uh...
-What did Crash put online?
-[groans]
-[phone beeps]

♪ You thought you were better
But you could never could defeat me ♪
♪ I'm the best rapper
From the school reppin' Peachtree ♪
♪ Imma take credit

♪ Listen to yourself ♪
[Karma] You were right.
-[Crash laughs]
-[groans] Crash!
We were just team-mates, and now this?
Don't listen to Crash. You can win!
-You just have to focus.
-[Karma groans]
Karma, maybe it's time to stop
thinking about saving the Spin Shop,
and start thinking about
what you can do.
Beat Crash on Freestyle Knockout tonight.
[sighs] Yeah!
-[pencil scratching]

♪ I met Lady K
And she's not the person she seems ♪
♪ I'm a little disappointed
I thought we could be a team ♪
♪ And on top of that
Tomorrow I'm battling Crash ♪
♪ He could probably win
If I don't focus on the task ♪
♪ But what's really important

♪ Gotta save the day

♪ I'm never givin' up
Even if there's no treasure ♪
♪ Maybe there's a way
To solve everything together ♪
Hmm.
-Huh?
-[laughs] What? You look hungry!
-[laughs]
-Usually I'd say something like "Ugh"
and slam my door in your face,
but not today.
Wait, really?
Yeah, 'cause I need your help.
Tonight on Freestyle Knockout,
I have a chance
to rap to the whole world.
And I'm gonna use it
save the Spin Shop!
Get your inventions, all of them,
and meet me there tonight!
What?
You need me to what?
Lose Freestyle Knockout tonight.
-So you can win?
-No, I need us both to lose tonight.
[scoffs] Man, I'm outta here.
[sighs] I know we don't get along.
Like, ever.
But we have a chance tonight
to use our voices to save the Spin Shop.
Hmm.
Look, we can go back
to being enemies tomorrow.
But tonight, can we be team-mates
one last time?
[smug laugh]
What would you do without me?
Oh, come on! It was a nice moment,
and you ruined it!
[laughs] Just kidding, just kidding!
What's the plan?
We have to write a song
that convinces the whole world to help us.
'Cause if we don't, we're gonna get hit
by a lot of toilet paper rolls.
Wait, what?
[dramatic music]
Where are they? The show's about to start!
-[grunting]
-Huh?
-Here they are, all of my inventions.
-[Major whines]
We have to do whatever it takes
for our best friend.
-[Winston] Thanks, Karma.
-[gasps]
Winnie! I'm sorry
I was so focused on saving the shop
that I didn't think about your feelings.
But is it okay if I give it one last try?
I'm with you all the way.
[MC Grillz] Yo, yo, yo! Welcome to...
-Freestyle Knockout!
-[cheering]
Tonight, our top two rappers
go from team-mates to competitors!
Give it up for Crash Watkins
and Karma Grant!
-[crowd murmuring]
-Huh?
[confused muttering]
Hi, everyone!
I'm not here to Freestyle Battle.
Neither am I.
Even though I would've crushed her.
-[laughs]
-[annoyed groan]
We're here to ask for your help.
There's this store, the Spin Shop
in Hansberry Heights,
that's an amazing place for music.
-[switches channels]
-Mm-mm. No.
[Karma] But it's about to close
'cause it doesn't have enough customers.
So Crash and I, we're not gonna battle.
We're gonna rap together to show
how important the Spin Shop is.
'Cause what's the point of having a voice
if you don't use it
to make the world a better place?
-[sighs]
-[MC Grillz] Whoa, whoa.
This is not Freestyle Help-out!
This is Freestyle Knockout!
-But--
-This is really important!
K.O.!
[buzzer]
No-no-no-no-no-no!
[cheering and applause]
We gotta get back to that mic!
[upbeat music]
[MC Grillz] K.O.!

Lady K? I been listenin' to you
since I had baby teeth.
But you've been gone so long.
Why come back now?
'Cause someone reminded me,
the whole point of having a voice
is using it to make the world
a better place.
So where can all your fans
find that fire new record?
There's only one place to get it...
the Spin Shop!
C'mon, everybody!
Let's support our neighborhood's music!
[cheering]
Guess you're a little bit magic after all.
For the last time, child, I--
Winston Torres here,
directing my second rap-umentary!
Karma, why don't you tell us
what's been up?
The last two months have been amazing!
I didn't win Freestyle Knockout,
but who cares?
I got something better instead.
The Spin Shop is back in business!
Me and Crash performing our song
with Lady K worked!
It brought a ton of new customers
to the store.
[static crackles]
Ooh, but you still
haven't seen the best part yet!
C'mon! Check it out!
Little Bit of Magic Studios!
Mmm! I thought we hadn't
decided on a new name yet.
Yes, we have.
Now, the studio's open
for the whole neighborhood
to make music together!
And everybody's welcome!
But please use the front door.
Not the ceiling!
[laughs]
Oh, and Karma, all these extra people's
gonna make a lot more work around here.
Any chance you wanna help out?
[gasps] Really?
Like a job? Here? With you?
We can start next weekend.
-[gasps]
-Oh, okay. We doing this?
Thank you, thank you, thank you,
thank you, thank you, Lady K!
[Lady K chuckles]
So cool!
[laughter]
[train clattering]
-[Karma gasps]
Are you... Lady K?
Uh, yeah. That's me.
It's you, it's you, it's you!
And now that you're right in front of me,
I just have to say...
-Selfie!
