When it comes to mistakes Jay-Z said it best
"In order to survive you gotta learn to live with regrets"
I've done a lot of dumb things, and thinking back on them makes me hurt
I stole money from my mom's purse and my dad's credit card but I guess it could've been worse
Fucked around in high school and got bad grades
Messed up potential college plans I'd had since my younger days
Is life worth living if your head is filled with despair and dismay?
I reminisce a lot, thinking of the way things used to be
When I used to play ball in the street instead of smoking weed and dropping ecstasy
Now don't get me wrong, a few cheap thrills never hurt me
I feel like a loser; I feel as though I'm not even worthy
To live life
I find solace in neither Jesus Christ or a pipe but instead in these words I write
I tell myself I'll be alright, but then end up feeling shitty again the next night
Some people say the past is the past, you should just get over it
But sometimes I feel like the pain of the past has won and I should just quit and submit
And admit that the world has broken my spirit and beat me
Thinking like suicide is the only thing left to complete me
When it comes to mistakes Jay-Z said it best
"In order to survive you gotta learn to live with regrets"
It's already hard to enough just to live and everyday comes more stress
But through it all I really hope there's one thing you never forget
"In order to survive you gotta learn to live with regrets"
I can't begin to describe the conflicts that my brain has
I think about my past and sometimes it doesn't seem so bad
But then the next minute, my mind tells me something different
I can take the pain, but every man has his limit
I wish there was something I could do to erase certain parts of my memory
So that those thoughts can no longer plague me
Sometimes I feel as though my own brain hates me
Can I make it through this shit? The answer isn't a definite yes or no but just maybe
Do I hate myself or just the mistakes I've made?
Each passing day my will to live continues to fade
Why couldn't I be successful? Something like an athlete with great accolades
Or some other career doing something worthwhile and getting paid
They say that time waits for no man
If I had the ability to turn back the hands
I'd could go back and make some changes to my plans
I'd bestow my younger self with the knowledge I acquired when I became older
Living in a world where it just gets constantly colder

It's already hard to enough just to live and everyday comes more stress
But through it all I really hope there's one thing you never forget
"In order to survive you gotta learn to live with regrets"
I can't lie, I like to get high and sometimes speed a little bit when I drive
But I was sober and doing the speed limit when I ruined my ride
Maybe I shouldn't feel so shitty because we all go through this
I like to think I'm an intelligent so imagine my chagrin when I do something foolish
Some people say they have no regrets in life
I think that's bullshit we all did shit wrong we wish we did right
More than anything I'd like to know what I was put here for
Maybe it's to say profound things by using similies and metaphors
Or maybe not, destined to be a failure because I was born a loser
Paranoid because I don't wanna end up in the back of a police cruiser
Just for being a weed abuser, but the green helps me maintain
Altering the waves in my brain keeps me from going insane
Even though times change
I can't help but think I'll always be the same
You may not have liked my rap but I really do hope you'll never forget
That in order to survive you gotta learn to live with regrets
