XV - 2 Regrets lyrics

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 PM
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

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

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
