Regrets Lyrics

    Stress
    Sunshine, geyeah

    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

    [Chorus One:]

    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

    [Chorus Two:]

    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
    Remember Newton, 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]

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