Regrets

Stress

Sunshine, geyeah

I sold it all from crack to opium, in third person

I don't wanna see 'em, so I'm rehearsing

with my peoples high to GM, from a remote location

in the BM, scoping the whole situation like, "Dayamm!"

Metamorphic, as the dope turns to cream

but one of these buyers got eyes like a Korean

It's difficult to read em, the windows to his soul

are half closed, I put the key in

Pulled off slow, hoping my people flee-in

Chink tried to knock the only link that tied me in

Coppers was watching us through nighttime binoculars

This time they got us on tape, exchanging dope for dollars

Make me wanna, holler back at the crib in the sauna

Praying my people bailed out like Time/Warner

Awaiting call, from his kin not the coroner

Phone in my hand, nervous confined to a corner

Beads of sweat second thoughts on my mind

How can I ease the stress and learn to live with these regrets

This time... stress... giving this shit up... fuck

This is the number one rule for your set

In order to survive, gotta learn to live with regrets

On the, rise to the top, many drop, don't forget

In order to survive, gotta learn to live with regrets

This is the number one rule for your set

In order to survive, gotta learn to live with regrets

And through our travels we get separated, never forget

In order to survive, gotta learn to live with regrets

As sure as this, Earth is turning souls burning

in search of higher learning turning in every direction seeking direction

My moms crying cause her insides are dying

her son trying her patience, keep her heart racing

A million beats a minute, I know I push you to your limit

but it's this game love, I'm caught up all in it

They make it so you can't prevent it, never give it

you gotta take it, can't fake it I keep it authentic

My hand got this pistol shaking, cause I sense danger

like Camp Crystal Lake and

don't wanna shoot him, but I got him, trapped

within this infrared dot, bout to hot him and, hit rock bottom

No answers to these trick questions, no time shit stressing

My life found I got to live for the right now

Time waits for no man, can't turn back the hands

once it's too late, gotta learn to live with regrets

You used to hold me, told me that I was the best

Anything in this world I want I could posses

All that made me want is all that I could get

In order to survive, gotta learn to live with regrets... (when I was young)

I found myself reminiscing, remember this one

when he was here he was crazy nice with his son

I miss him, long as I'm living he's living through memories

He's there to kill all my suicidal tendencies

In heaven looking over me, or in hell, keeping it cozy

I'm coming life on these streets ain't what it's supposed to be

Remember Newton, mutual friend well me and him feuding

On your life I tried to talk to him

But you know niggas, think they guns can stop foe niggas

Fronting like they, Big Willie but really owe niggas

Hoe niggas, this year I'm sho' niggas think I'm slipping

I'm bought to send you a roommate, no bullshitting

for my hustle's going too well to hit him

You was right niggas want you to be miserable wit em

Anyway, I ain't trying to hear it, I think I'm touched

this whole verse I been talking to your spirit, a little too much

Roc-A, Roc-A, Roc-A, Roc-A-Fella y'all
