[Verse] Wish I would've said goodbye, Don't really know the reasons why, Yesterday has passed, today is here, Tomorrow's not promised to anyone, that's clear. [Verse 2] Saw you standing by that old oak tree, Heart in my hands, but I just couldn't see, Words caught in my throat like autumn leaves, Now all I got are these sad memories. [Chorus] Wish I would've said goodbye, To your face, under the clear blue sky, But now you're gone, and I'm alone, Singing this regret in a big ol' empty home. [Verse 3] Morning sun breaks the Eastern ridge, Silence echoes on that creaky bridge, I walk these fields where we once laughed, And feel the ghost of a love that couldn't last. [Verse 4] Rain taps softly on my tin roofed barn, Your guitar sits lonely, no longer charmed, The scent of wildflowers in the morning dew, Reminding me of the dreams I had with you. [Chorus] Wish I would've said goodbye, How the heck did we let this chance fly by? Now you're gone, and I can't deny, Regret's the song of a broken-hearted guy.

[Verse] It's Thomas the RD, let me tell you my tale, Daddy was a hustler, never let us fail, Teejay project crips, he was out on the grind, Bustin' hella licks, always money on his mind. [Verse 2] Surrounded by the chaos, in the city’s depths, Never needed favors, always earned respect, Pop's legacy strong, etched into my soul, Living in this jungle, gotta play the role. [Chorus] Run the streets like a marathon, never back down, Hustle hard, stay sharp, kings without crowns, Legacy of hustle, passing down the torch, In the game of life, spark up the porch. [Verse 3] Mama worked hard too, double shifts at the store, Kept the fam together, couldn't ask for more, Life lessons learned, every single night, In the fight for survival, gotta do it right. [Verse 4] Raised in the rough, not afraid to get dirty, Street savvy grind, strong by thirty, Dreams bigger than the blocks we roamed, In the concrete jungle, we're carving our own. [Bridge] Echoes of the hustle, resonating loud, Crowns in the ghetto, wear 'em tall, wear 'em proud, Generations strong, buildin' from the dust, In the streets we trust, hustlers we adjust.

[Verse] Monday mornin' jumpin', boots hit the ground, Coffee in one hand, town's hubbub all around, Chasin' dreams and dollars, workin' nine to five, Rollin' like a tractor, keepin' hope alive. [Verse 2] Clock strikes five, my heart's skippin' beats, Headin' home to you down those dusty streets, Supper on the table, love's the sweetest prize, In your arms I find my haven, gazin' in your eyes. [Chorus] Work hard, love deep, play wild, don't sleep, With you by my side, life's a steady heartbeat, We ride through the seasons, come what may, Together we conquer, livin' work, love, play. [Bridge] Weekend rollin' in, kick off our boots, Riverbanks and bonfires, fiddles and flutes, Simple joys and laughter, makin' memories stay, In this little corner, we'll forever play. [Verse 3] Sunday mornin' slow, as the sun peeks high, Lazy in the hammock, you and I, Talkin' 'bout forever, countin' stars at night, Livin' this sweet life, feels so right. [Chorus] Work hard, love deep, play wild, don't sleep, With you by my side, life's a steady heartbeat, We ride through the seasons, come what may, Together we conquer, livin' work, love, play.
