No Regrets Masta Ace

[Woman interviewing Ace]
"Okay Ace, one last question before we wrap up this interview:
Considering how long you've been in the game, all the places that you've been
And all the songs that you've done and all the cats that you've worked with
Is there anything that you'd do differently?
What I mean is, do you have any regrets?"

[Verse]
If I never recorded another song
If I was wrong, and nothin' I spitted was ever strong (No Regrets)
If I never perform at another venue
If this genuine love doesn't continue (No Regrets)
If none of my records was ever sold
If I fold, and never see platinum or even gold (No Regrets)
If nobody ever again can recall, if I stalled
And start workin' part time at the mall (No Regrets)
If there's no more shows for me to dabble in
No more travellin', even the show in Maryland
If none of my songs that ever been never spin
In heavy rotation ever again (No Regrets)
If I don't do a song to incite millions
Or get a video done by Hype Williams
If there's never a chance again to be seen
On the pages inside of another magazine (No Regrets)
If the luxuries in life I can't of course afford
If I never win a Billboard or the Source award
I wouldn't want your pity or your sympathy
Even if Marley never put me on The Symphony
But I gotta admit it I'm glad he did it
It's considered the first verse that I spitted
I realize that I'm still a part of history
I learned the key to victory is not a mystery
You see I got a lot of love for what I do in life
And after this then I'ma find somethin' new in life
I guarantee it'll be somethin' that I really love
I give thanks for my life to God up above
That I'm blessed to have a job that I enjoy doin'
Now as a man I'm doin' what I was a boy doin'
The only difference is now I get to eat from it
I never thought I would be known on the street from it
But if not one fan that will shows gratitude
And when they see me they walk by with an attitude (No Regrets)
It was still an enjoyable ride
Yeah, big up to Kane, Biz Mark and The Pharcyde
And of course to all of my past label mates
Hope y'all keep on risin' like the cable rates
Ayo Premier and Guru, this goes out to you
Special Ed and Buckshot, this a shout to you
I don't know if it's the end but yo it might be
Big up to Q-Tip, Ali Shaheed and Spike Lee
And everybody in the game I ever worked with
And all the chicks up in the game I used to flirt with
But if I never get another piece of show coochie
Don't see no more Louis Vuitton and no Gucci (No Regrets)
No more suede and linen, no more designer denim
No more Jeeps with a-thousand watt systems in 'em (No Regrets)
No more sittin' on chrome with them Parelli shoes
No more gettin' my name up in the daily news (No Regrets)
No more Lexus, Coups, Beamers and Benzes
No more Cartier frames with colored lenses (No Regrets)
No more chains and bracelets and no baguettes
For what it's worth yo, I got no regrets (No Regrets)
