2 Regrets

[Verse 1] I've done it all from trap to EDM In third person, I don't wanna see him So I'm rehearsing' some new verses over BM's (right) My A&R thought the stars was I'm seeking (nah) My city saw my situation like damn There was no lyin' in his bars about the MGM Peekin' through these Vegas windows in the P.M Bright lights is all I'm seeing And it's hard to see the stars so I guess that was one reason Trying to reach'em, as they kept it all from me Question whether you want me, for my message or money They thought they changed off but they thought wrong Fucking way off, the pay-off is I ain't gone I put that fucking J on, then I take my J's off My shorty roll a J up, I turn on the Jay Hawks Red up, blued up (whaddup), head up, shoed up (whaddup) Suit up, head down, they can't really do much (uh-huh) That was all underground so I tried to Square stuff But then niggas wanna talk down so I had to Square up That's how a lost child found himself in JDF Looking at my mom, hoping I can live with regrets I heard [Hook](2x) This is the number one rule for your set to stay alive Don't be something that you'll live to regret On the rise to the top, many fly, don't forget to stay alive Don't be something that you'll live to regret [Verse 2] I do this for my brother lock down, who has to walk 'round Cell blocks, hearing 'bout how I'm putting on for the town Prison garments tarnish how honest my nigga is Can't see his soul in the hopes of being with his kid But I'm observant, so I stream it like a current Through my verses, that I word it For my nephew that ain't heard it When he's old enough to hear it Find a speaker, put him near it Let him know it was never an intentional disappearance I know that he would trade it all If regrets could be pawned I promise we would be fucking on Or would I trade all these nights that I'm tipsy And don't remember a thing for some days that are empty? Or would I exchange my work for some fun Or my girl for some girls that will work for some ones? Gone in my thoughts at the table, I just lost my bet Guess I'm learning how to live with regrets [Hook]
