[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
