- Regrets
- Jay-Z
- Reasonable Doubt
- I sold it all from crack to o-pium, in third person
- I don't wanna see em, so I'm rehearsin
- with my peoples high to GM, from a remote lo-cation
- in the BM, scopin the whole situation like, "Dayamm!"
- Metamorphic, as the dope turns to cre-am
- 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, hopin my people flee-in
- Chink tried to knock the only link that tied me in
- Coppers was watchin us through nighttime binoculars
- This time they got us on tape, exchangin dope for dollars
- Make me wanna, holler back at the crib in the sauna
- Prayin my people bailed out like Time/Warner
- Awaitin 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... givin 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 seperated, 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 cryin cause her insides are dyin
- her son tryin her patience, keep her heart racin
- 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 shakin, 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 stressin
- My life found I got ta 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 posess
- 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)
- (repeat 2X)
- I found myself reminiscin, remember this one
- when he was here he was crazy nice with his son
- I miss him, long as I'm livin he's livin through memories
- He's there to kill all my suicidal tendencies
- In heaven lookin over me, or in hell, keepin it cozy
- I'm comin life on these streets ain't what it's supposed to be
- Newton, Remember mutual friend well me and him feudin
- On your life I tried to talk to him
- But you know niggaz, think they guns can stop foe niggaz
- Frontin like they're, Big Willie but really old niggaz
- Hoe niggaz, this year I'm sho' niggaz think I'm slippin
- I'm bought to send you a roommate, no bullshittin
- for my hustle's goin too well to hit him
- You was right niggaz want you to be miserable wit em
- Anyway, I ain't tryin to hear it, I think I'm touched
- this whole verse I been talkin to your spirit, a little too much
- Chorus One: repeat 2X
