Lyrics Could Haves - Omar Sterling

Don't stress on the could haves
If it should have then bro it would have
We used to numb that day but now we pull up
Jamaica next week just to cool off
She say 'take your suit off',
Baby boot up
Your love too sweet you my sugar
She said I learn a lot from you,
You my tutor
I told her
You can learn more from the Buddha

As we n-, n-, navigate this life and this society
The higher me says embrace sobriety or he'll fire me
We move in silence, move quietly
I've seen this life in its entirety
Yeah we run this game meanwhile you my shooter
All we do is win,
Win and you a loser
Me against the world,
Word like 2Pac
Back like a durag,
Black like 'who dat?'
My tape is almost here your wake is almost here
The great is almost here no hate in this atmosphere
The fates, they have no fear, debate is almost here
We lit so you know we'll clear,
We brave amongst our peers
Embrace the struggle ignore the fame
I made a career out of telling stories of my pain
Forget self pity you can do the same
Or accept what is, it can never change

Please know you can't stress on the could haves
If it should have then bro it would have
We used to numb that day but now we pull up
Jamaica next week just to cool off
She say 'take your suit off',
Baby boot up
Your love too sweet
You my sugar
She said I learn a lot from you, you my tutor
I told her you can learn more from the Buddha

Beat switch

I call my cousin after 10 years,
I'm tryna bridge the gap
He said I try to call you sometimes
Just to wish you luck
You made the family proud you gotta keep it up
Young uncle had a stroke he's here
And he said 'wassup'
Do your best as always give it your all
Don't be afraid to fail
Cause you never ever fall
Make money big enough to buy the mall
But at the expense of your sanity?
Then don't get involved
'Cause your mental health is an essential wealth
I seen people chase the glory and lose themselves
I've seen families with nothing just tools for work
Everyday they pray to God for their produce to sell
And they live happy, they live so well
They understand you don't need much to survive in this world
'Cause you can only lose what you have
Learnt from my past that contentment is the only path
You'll be sad if you put your hopes in clothes and cars
The luxury things and the apparent joy it brings
Pleasure and pain are the same so it's fuck the fame
Your view of blessing is money,
Someone's is when it rains
No one to blame
