Could Haves 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

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
