Stress Sunshine, geyeah I sold it all from crack to opium, in third person I don't wanna see 'em, so I'm rehearsing with my peoples high to GM, from a remote location in the BM, scoping the whole situation like, "Dayamm!" Metamorphic, as the dope turns to cream but one of these buyers got eyes like a Korean It's difficult to read em, the windows to his soul are half closed, I put the key in Pulled off slow, hoping my people flee-in Chink tried to knock the only link that tied me in Coppers was watching us through nighttime binoculars This time they got us on tape, exchanging dope for dollars Make me wanna, holler back at the crib in the sauna Praying my people bailed out like Time/Warner Awaiting call, from his kin not the coroner Phone in my hand, nervous confined to a corner Beads of sweat second thoughts on my mind How can I ease the stress and learn to live with these regrets This time... stress... giving this sh** up... f** [Chorus One:] This is the number one rule for your set In order to survive, gotta learn to live with regrets On the, rise to the top, many drop, don't forget In order to survive, gotta learn to live with regrets This is the number one rule for your set In order to survive, gotta learn to live with regrets And through our travels we get separated, never forget In order to survive, gotta learn to live with regrets As sure as this, Earth is turning souls burning in search of higher learning turning in every direction seeking direction My moms crying cause her insides are dying her son trying her patience, keep her heart racing A million beats a minute, I know I push you to your limit but it's this game love, I'm caught up all in it They make it so you can't prevent it, never give it you gotta take it, can't fake it I keep it authentic My hand got this pistol shaking, cause I sense danger like Camp Crystal Lake and don't wanna shoot him, but I got him, trapped within this infrared dot, bout to hot him and, hit rock bottom No answers to these trick questions, no time sh** stressing My life found I got to live for the right now Time waits for no man, can't turn back the hands once it's too late, gotta learn to live with regrets [Chorus Two:] You used to hold me, told me that I was the best Anything in this world I want I could posses All that made me want is all that I could get In order to survive, gotta learn to live with regrets... (when I was young) [repeat 2X] I found myself reminiscing, remember this one when he was here he was crazy nice with his son I miss him, long as I'm living he's living through memories He's there to k** all my suicidal tendencies In heaven looking over me, or in hell, keeping it cozy I'm coming life on these streets ain't what it's supposed to be Remember Newton, mutual friend well me and him feuding On your life I tried to talk to him But you know n***as, think they guns can stop foe n***as Fronting like they, Big Willie but really owe n***as Hoe n***as, this year I'm sho' n***as think I'm slipping I'm bought to send you a roommate, no bullsh**ting for my hustle's going too well to hit him You was right n***as want you to be miserable wit em Anyway, I ain't trying to hear it, I think I'm touched this whole verse I been talking to your spirit, a little too much [Chorus One: repeat 2X] Roc-A, Roc-A, Roc-A, Roc-A-Fella y'all
