Issa Gold Regrets

Issa Gold of The Underachievers has officially come through to drop off his new album Tempus, a highly personal and introspective endeavor from the Beast Coast affiliate. For the most part, the project is a largely laid-back affair, an introspective glimpse into Issa’s mindset that should please longtime fans. As such, Tempus is best enjoyed from start to finish, though “Regrets” certainly shines as an early highlight.

Lyrics

[Chorus]
My father always told me that you shouldn’t have regrets
Gotta take the shit you been through and just wear it on your chest
But the hardest points in life ain’t too easy to forget
How you supposed to move forward without watching every step?

[Verse 1]
I regret every lie that I ever had to tell
Regret putting my Moms and my Pops through hell
Regret fighting addiction, though it made me who I am
Regret ever cheating, even if I got ahead
I was on the brink of breaking, kept waiting, but got impatient
I regret never putting the time in school, I was wasting
Cutting class to do prescriptions and drinking and getting faded
Had my family worried sick that I never was gon’ make it
A pessimist, I can’t see the glass half full
Mad at all the life, I was trained to ride the bull
Tryna skip a couple steps and regretted what I was making
Put the cart before the horse and then nothing’s getting created

[Chorus]
My father always told me that you shouldn’t have regrets
Gotta take the shit you been through and just wear it on your chest
But the hardest points in life ain’t too easy to forget
How you supposed to move forward without watching every step?

[Verse 2]
My girl don’t trust me, she consider me a cheater
‘Cause my prior girl I practiced on, I ain’t know how to treat her
Made mistakes in the beginning, now I look like a deceiver
I regret what I had did but tryna make her a believer
That I’d change for the better, thought I’d fuck around forever
But [?], it made me want to try a different method
I been logging off of socials ’cause they tend to be the devil
Put a camera in the crib and told the females I done settled
I regret making mistakes that would make her lose trust
Regret being a man, because we driven by the lust
Now she only see the negative, I did it, tears erupt
Tryna patch up every wound, it been days they never stuck
My addiction is a mess, everyday I be tryna quit
She be tryna help me though it ain’t a problem on her list
Everything I ever did, I learned I have to live with
But I hate that we affect our people with our own shit

[Chorus]
My father always told me that you shouldn’t have regrets
Gotta take the shit you been through and just wear it on your chest
But the hardest points in life ain’t too easy to forget
How you supposed to move forward without watching every step?
