[Chorus]

My father always told me that you shouldn't have regrets

Gotta take the shit you been through and just wear it on your chest

But the hardest points in life ain't too easy to forget

How you supposed to move forward without watching every step?


[Verse 1]

I regret every lie that I ever had to tell

Regret putting my Moms and my Pops through hell

Regret fighting addiction, though it made me who I am

Regret ever cheating, even if I got ahead

I was on thе brink of breaking, kept waiting, but got impatient

I rеgret never putting the time in school, I was wasting

Cutting class to do prescriptions and drinking and getting faded

Had my family worried sick that I never was gon' make it

A pessimist, I can't see the glass half full

Mad at all the life, I was trained to ride the bull

Tryna skip a couple steps and regretted what I was making

Put the cart before the horse and then nothing's getting created


[Chorus]

My father always told me that you shouldn't have regrets

Gotta take the shit you been through and just wear it on your chest

But the hardest points in life ain't too easy to forget

How you supposed to move forward without watching every step?


[Verse 2]

My girl don't trust me, she consider me a cheater

'Cause my prior girl I practiced on, I ain't know how to treat her

Made mistakes in the beginning, now I look like a deceiver

I regret what I had did but tryna make her a believer

That I'd change for the better, thought I'd fuck around forever

But in meeting her, it made me want to try a different method

I been logging off of socials 'cause they tend to be the devil

Put a camera in the crib and told the females I done settled

I regret making mistakes that would make her lose trust

Regret being a man, because we driven by the lust

Now she only see the negative, I did it, tears erupt

Tryna patch up every wound, it been days they never stuck

My addiction is a mess, everyday I be tryna quit

She be tryna help me though it ain't a problem on her list

Everything I ever did, I learned I have to live with

But I hate that we affect our people with our own shit


[Chorus]

My father always told me that you shouldn't have regrets

Gotta take the shit you been through and just wear it on your chest

But the hardest points in life ain't too easy to forget

How you supposed to move forward without watching every step?
