I SHOULDA © 2006 Arphyltoine Music


Shoulda listen to my teacher, what they taught me in school
Shoulda listen to my mamma, shoulda followed the rules
Shoulda listen to my daddy, what he told me to do, yea
I shoulda woulda, coulda, know I really wish I would


It was day first day at school, and I?m looking so cool
1 + 1 an im breakin all the rules
So I ditched first class, wrote myself a pass
Everybody knows, I was out in a dash
An I?m acting so tough, yea sho nuff
Everyone knows this is ACE, with the stuff
A whole different swagger, nottin? ever mattered
I was still talking, while everyone scattered,
cut class, couldn?t hurt, didn?t do homework
See the way I see, it didn?t matter to me
We all having fun, time was done
Just like them (my friends), I was acting real dumb
Got caught by security, game wasn?t new to me
What?s he gonna do to me, don?t none of yall feel me
Up for suspension, so much tension
Sittin? at home, while my mom still trippin?


Shoulda listen to my teacher, what they taught me in school
Shoulda listen to my mamma, shoulda followed the rules
Shoulda listen to my daddy, what he told me to do, yea
I shoulda woulda, coulda, know I really wish I would

Shoulda listen to my teacher, what they taught me in school
Shoulda listen to my mamma, shoulda followed the rules
Shoulda listen to my daddy, what he told me to do, yea
I shoulda woulda, coulda, know I really wish I would


I remember the day, and I remember the night
No worries in the world, everything was just right
My shorties on the phone, said she wanted to see me
So I picked up the keys, on top the TV
And jumped in my ride, the music inside
Put the pedal to the medal, it?s time to get fly
I was rollin with my hommies, just shooting the breeze
And spitting at the girls, and playing my CD?s
And on the cell phone, and drivin at night
Before I looked up, I ran a red light
But it was too late, I was crossed the lane
Ever since that day, It?s been nothin? but pain
Now my homies in the hospital, trying to breath
Body?s messed up, wrecked up, broken both knees
A change in his plans, a moment in life
It all was my fault, but he?s paying the price


Shoulda listen to my teacher, what they taught me in school
Shoulda listen to my mamma, shoulda followed the rules
Shoulda listen to my daddy, what he told me to do, yea
I shoulda woulda, coulda, know I really wish I would

Shoulda listen to my teacher, what they taught me in school
Shoulda listen to my mamma, shoulda followed the rules
Shoulda listen to my daddy, what he told me to do, yea
I shoulda woulda, coulda, know I really wish I would


Dip dip douge, we came to socialize
We were roaming through the party looking for a surprise
We were on the loose , jamming on the prow
We were looking for some honies, who were ready bow
Homie saw a fly girl, she looked, he caught her eye
So he jet across the room and though he?d give it a try
Then they started to dance, the dance of romance
He was feeling real good, so he though he?d take a chance
So they moved to the back, into a side room,
Begin to romance, and dance to the tune
And wipe off the sweat, betray all the trust, but
What?s all the fuse, it weren?t nutin? but lust
Now there?s something in his blood that they just can?t fix
It?s all in up in his veins, it?s all up in the mix
It?s all up in his lungs, it?s all up in his chest
Gonna live inside his body til the day that he rest


Shoulda listen to my teacher, what they taught me in school
Shoulda listen to my mamma, shoulda followed the rules
Shoulda listen to my daddy, what he told me to do, yea
I shoulda woulda, coulda, know I really wish I would

Shoulda listen to my teacher, what they taught me in school
Shoulda listen to my mamma, shoulda followed the rules
Shoulda listen to my daddy, what he told me to do, yea
I shoulda woulda, coulda, know I really wish I would
