No Regrets

(альбом: Disposable Arts - 2001)

"Okay Ace, one last question before we wrap this one up is:
Considering how long you've been in the game, all the places you been
And all the songs that you've done and all the cats you've worked with
Is there anything that you'd do differently?
What I mean to say is, do you have any regrets?"

If I never recorded another song
If I was wrong, and nothing I spitted was ever strong (No Regrets)
If I never perform at another venue
If this genuine love doesn't continue (No Regrets)
If none of my records was ever sold
If I fold, and never see platinum or even gold (No Regrets)
If no one ever again can recall, if I stalled
And start working part time at the mall (No Regrets)
If there's no more shows for be to dabble in
No more traveling, even the show in Maryland
If none of my songs that ever been never spin
In heavy rotation ever again (No Regrets)
If I don't do a song to insight millions
Or get a video done by Hype Williams
If there's never a chance again to be seen
On the pages inside of another magazine (No Regrets)
If the luxuries in life I can't of course afford
If I never win a Billboard or a Source award
I wouldn't want ya pity or ya sympathy
Even if Marley never put me on The Symphony
But I gotta admit it I'm glad he did it
Its considered the first verse I ever spitted
I realize that I'm still apart of history
I learned the key to victory, its not a mystery
You see I got alotta love for what I do in life
And after this then I'mma find something new in life
I guarantee it will be somthing that I really love
I give thanks for my life to God up above
That I'm blessed to have a job that I enjoy doing
And now as a man doing what I was a boy doing
The only difference is now I get to eat from it
I never thought I would be known on the street from it
But if not one fan that shows gratitude
And when they see me they walk by with an attitude (No Regrets)
It was still an enjoyable ride
Yeah, big up to Kane, Biz Mark and The Pharcyde
And of course to all of my past label mates
Hope Y'all keep on rising like the cable rates
Ay yo, Premier and Guru, this goes out to you
Special Ed and Buckshot, this a shout to you
I don't know if its the end but yo it might be
Big up to Q-Tip, Ali Shaheed and Spike Lee
And everybody in the game I ever worked with
And all the chicks up in the game I used to flirt with
But if I never get another piece of show coochie
Don't see no Louie Vuitton or no Gucci (No Regrets)
No more suede and linen or designer denim
No more Jeeps with 1, 000 watt systems in 'em (No Regrets)
No more sitting on chrome with them Parelli shoes
No more getting my name up in the daily news (No Regrets)
No more Lexus, Coups, Beamers and Benzes
No more Cardiae frames with colored lenses (No Regrets)
No more chains and bracelets, and no baguettes
For what its worth yo, I got no regrets (No Regrets)
