Stress
  Sunshine, geyeah
    I sold it all from crack to o-pium, in third person
  I don't wanna see em, so I'm rehearsin
  with my peoples high to GM, from a remote lo-cation
  in the BM, scopin the whole situation like, "Dayamm!"
  Metamorphic, as the dope turns to cre-am
  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, hopin my people flee-in
  Chink tried to knock the only link that tied me in
  Coppers was watchin us through nighttime binoculars
  This time they got us on tape, exchangin dope for dollars
  Make me wanna, holler back at the crib in the sauna
  Prayin my people bailed out like Time/Warner
  Awaitin 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... givin this shit up... fuck
    [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 seperated, 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 cryin cause her insides are dyin
  her son tryin her patience, keep her heart racin
  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 shakin, 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 shit stressin
  My life found I got ta 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 posess
  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 reminiscin, remember this one
  when he was here he was crazy nice with his son
  I miss him, long as I'm livin he's livin through memories
  He's there to kill all my suicidal tendencies
  In heaven lookin over me, or in hell, keepin it cozy
  I'm comin life on these streets ain't what it's supposed to be
  Remember Newton, mutual friend well me and him feudin
  On your life I tried to talk to him
  But you know niggaz, think they guns can stop foe niggaz
  Frontin like they're, Big Willie but really old niggaz
  Hoe niggaz, this year I'm sho' niggaz think I'm slippin
  I'm bought to send you a roommate, no bullshittin
  for my hustle's goin too well to hit him
  You was right niggaz want you to be miserable wit em
  Anyway, I ain't tryin to hear it, I think I'm touched
  this whole verse I been talkin to your spirit, a little too much
    [Chorus One: repeat 2X]
