No Regrets Video (MV)

On a more personal note
I'm chasing my dream
How could you not be proud of me?

Started from the bottom now I'm here
It's a couple things that I gotta make clear
I ain't have the riches or the booming popularity
Always had a quiet goofy nigga personality
Grew up with my mama didn't meet pops til fourteen
He showed up with his brother cooked a whole breakfast
Next thing you know I'm flying out from Florida to Virginia and I ain't even know what I expected
I ain't even know what I collected
Gained a father and a whole family
New school with my old manners
New weather, new church, new state
Cold as hell man I'm ass backwards
Start smoking with my cuz after
Rolling up like it don't matter
I was wylin in the streets had a 22 close by me
And I'll pop it with the wrong answer

Joined the b-ball team and the ROTC
Thinking that would keep me out of the wrong practice
But I hooked up with a nigga named 80 and he put me on game
You would think out the wrong chapter
Quick pick but I read it faster
No clique I was chasing asses
No school I was skipping classes
Just me and my white girl m&ms and a whole package

I was so average, couldn't find a bitch to do math with so I ran it up (No taxes)
Had to help my mama with the gas bill
Had to help my moms make magic
Had to find a way to get cash quick
Long John silvers ain't have it, so I made a habit, I became a bandit
Pops ain't know he was always on the road, that I had the trap bumping like preteen acne
Living on the backstreets out in the country
Pops took over, mom caught a case
I testified against her, thinking he would want me
Found out I was gay and he put his hands on me
Man lord knows I was thinking bout a homi
Man lord knows I ain't wanna keep running
But I signed the papers friends kept warning
Man I was out f*cked around and joined the army for real

Don't make a monster out of me
I'm chasing my dream
It's my responsibility! No regrets!
Don't make a monster out of me
I'm chasing my dream
How could you not be proud of me? No regrets!

Man things changed headed outta training
Eshi down wit me we in sticky situations
Hooked up with Lu, Valkyrie, Keybby
On and off post, f*ck a 1st sergeant
Leaving for the weekend coming back Sunday
AUG shawty, is where it all started
Met my sis Reese and I met my bro Raad
Had it all planned out and we had that shit retarded

Going on trips down to the A
Had to get money had to get cake
Did a couple scams caught a couple breaks
Next thing you know it blew up in my face
Knock knock knock it's the DEA
Oh shit Man, I ain't telling nothing
Pulled out the pics say they caught me at the bank in my camouflage gear tryna withdraw shit

Made that lick got away clean
Out here tryna follow my dreams
I ain't tryna be on no schemes
Rather make a milli no strings
Rather make a milli no attachments
Living on a hill no harassment
Tell em gimme all of my advancements
I ain't taking less than what I'm asking for

Had up to get up outta there, Had to leave my partna there
Had to catch a ride to Atlanta with my luggage
Had to hold my grudges, had to make a plan
And I had to make a budget and
Get up out of Sugar den

Up in Indiana 2 hrs from Nap
I be back and forth that's a well known fact
Down from Detroit over from the Chi
I be in the Bend and the Fort sometimes

Came up on this rap shit
Poet wit a rap twist, I ain't backwards
Got damn I'm about to smash this
Billi Ri you better catch this wave
Don't forget I had a fresh combed fade
Don't forget I had snoop dog braids
Don't forget I had the dreads long ways
Don't forget I'm still stuck in my ways
Don't forget that it's Jose all day

Don't make a monster out of me
I'm chasing my dream
It's my responsibility! No regrets!
Don't make a monster out of me
I'm chasing my dream
How could you not be proud of me? No regrets!

You see... I never been the type to follow rules
Just been the type to always follow through
I can't help but think about places I been to
I'm just too confident to follow you
