I think i shoulda stayed
I think that i should walk away
Shoulda listened to the fam, well, damn
Are they proud of the boy i am?
I think i shoulda ran
I think that i should plan
Shoulda bet it on red
Or think ahead
Would that put my troubles to bed?
I think i was a fool
I think that i should tell the truth
Shouldn't have gone further down
And wasted this youth
I think i shoulda followed the path
I think that i should do the math
I shoulda done more
But what is this really all for?
Cuz i know that in a few years
I'll look back upon this time
Wondering did i do this right?
But if this is everything i've got to give
Then at least i can say i tried
I think shoulda left the city
Still think that i should leave this city
Shoulda saved my money
It's a little funny
That i always thought i had it comin
I think i shoulda picked a lane
I should really stop assigning blame
Shoulda rolled with the punches
Do what my gut says
To keep myself in the frame
So i think i shouldn't stay the same
I think i shouldn't be afraid to change
I shouldn't fear the strange
Put myself on the line
It could be a tale for another day
I shouldn't mourn the time wasted on playing games
Watching the world pass while i'm just offstage
I shouldn't self efface.
Create something they can't erase
Cuz i don't know when it'll be my final day
Cuz i know that in a few years
I'll look back upon this time
Wondering did i do this right?
But if this is everything i've got to give
Then maybe i should try again
Cuz i know that in a few years
I'll look back upon this time
Wondering did i do this right?
But if this is everything i've got to give
Then at least i can say i tried
