[00:17.26]I sold it all from crack to o-pium, in third person
[00:21.07]I don't wanna see em, so I'm rehearsin
[00:24.06]with my peoples high to GM, from a remote lo-cation
[00:27.62]in the BM, scopin the whole situation like, "Dayamm!"
[00:31.98]Metamorphic, as the dope turns to cre-am
[00:34.79]but one of these buyers got eyes like a Korean
[00:37.53]It's difficult to read em, the windows to his soul
[00:40.28]are half closed, I put the key in
[00:42.22]Pulled off slow, hopin my people flee-in
[00:44.43]
[00:44.99]Chink tried to knock the only link that tied me in
[00:48.10]Coppers was watchin us through nighttime binoculars
[00:50.39]
[00:51.07]This time they got us on tape, exchangin dope for dollars
[00:54.31]Make me wanna, holler back at the crib in the sauna
[00:57.05]Prayin my people bailed out like Time/Warner
[00:58.15]
[00:59.78]Awaitin call, from his kin not the coroner
[01:02.40]Phone in my hand, nervous confined to a corner
[01:06.02]Beads of sweat second thoughts on my mind
[01:08.38]How can I ease the stress and learn to live with these regrets
[01:11.50]This time... stress... givin this shit up... fuck
[01:15.87]
[01:17.57]This is the number one rule for your set
[01:20.22]In order to survive, gotta learn to live with regrets
[01:22.90]On the, rise to the top, many drop, don't forget
[01:25.98]In order to survive, gotta learn to live with regrets
[01:29.68]This is the number one rule for your set
[01:31.93]In order to survive, gotta learn to live with regrets
[01:34.80]And through our travels we get seperated, never forget
[01:37.35]
[01:37.86]In order to survive, gotta learn to live with regrets
[01:40.53]As sure as this, Earth is turning souls burning
[01:42.97]in search of higher learning turning in every direction seeking direction
[01:47.39]My moms cryin cause her insides are dyin
[01:49.76]her son tryin her patience, keep her heart racin
[01:53.39]A million beats a minute, I know I push you to your limit
[01:56.50]but it's this game love, I'm caught up all in it
[01:59.18]They make it so you can't prevent it, never give it
[02:01.74]you gotta take it, can't fake it I keep it authentic
[02:05.24]My hand got this pistol shakin, cause I sense danger
[02:08.42]like Camp Crystal Lake and
[02:10.29]don't wanna shoot him, but I got him, trapped
[02:12.79]within this infrared dot, bout to hot him and, hit rock bottom
[02:16.66]No answers to these trick questions, no time shit stressin
[02:19.96]My life found I got ta live for the right now
[02:22.90]Time waits for no man, can't turn back the hands
[02:26.02]once it's too late, gotta learn to live with regrets
[02:28.89]You used to hold me, told me that I was the best
[02:31.57]Anything in this world I want I could posess
[02:34.76]All that made me want is all that I could get
[02:37.06]In order to survive, gotta learn to live with regrets... （when I was young）
[02:40.49]（repeat 2X）
[02:41.10]
[02:52.71]I found myself reminiscin, remember this one
[02:55.59]when he was here he was crazy nice with his son
[02:57.94]I miss him, long as I'm livin he's livin through memories
[03:01.38]He's there to kill all my suicidal tendencies
[03:04.19]In heaven lookin over me, or in hell, keepin it cozy
[03:07.24]I'm comin life on these streets ain't what it's supposed to be
