Bulletproof Regrets

  1. **Bulletproof Regrets**
  2.  
  3.  
  4. verse 1
  5.  
  6. mama, the street taught me wrong and right with a gun in its hand
  7.  
  8. nights whisper names like prayers, and the pavement don’t understand
  9.  
  10. we moved like shadows, heartbeat sync to the block’s cold hum
  11.  
  12. one wrong look, one colder breath —now somebody won’t come home
  13.  
  14.  
  15. pre‑chorus
  16.  
  17. I thought I was protecting honor, felt the steel make me a man
  18.  
  19. but the echo of that shot slides through my chest like sand
  20.  
  21.  
  22. chorus
  23.  
  24. i dropped an opp dead, mama, and the night swallowed my name
  25.  
  26. there’s a hole in the world now and i’m the one who fed the flame
  27.  
  28. i wear my choices like a chain that rattles when i sleep
  29.  
  30. i count the cost in quiet —and the price is running deep
  31.  
  32.  
  33. verse 2
  34.  
  35. sirens are lullabies I used to swear I’d never hear
  36.  
  37. now they sing the same old song, and they sound too near
  38.  
  39. faces at the funeral —some angry, some afraid to cry
  40.  
  41. i always thought bullets solved things; bullets only testify
  42.  
  43.  
  44. pre‑chorus
  45.  
  46. the courthouse lights are cold and long like winter on my skin
  47.  
  48. they point their fingers at the man, but they don’t know where sin begins
  49.  
  50.  
  51. chorus
  52.  
  53. i dropped an opp dead, mama, with a heart that missed the beat
  54.  
  55. i traded tomorrow for a moment and the ledger don’t forgive me cheap
  56.  
  57. i sleep with nightmares folding like a letter I can’t send
  58.  
  59. every morning I wake up learning how to live with what’s been
  60.  
  61.  
  62. bridge
  63.  
  64. remember when you’d hug me close and say don’t let the streets make you small
  65.  
  66. you told me love’s the only weapon that can heal us all
  67.  
  68. i listened to the corner then, to loyalty that never swayed
  69.  
  70. but loyalty’s a mirror —sometimes it’s just a blade
  71.  
  72.  
  73. breakdown (spoken, soft)
  74.  
  75. mama, if I could pull the bullet back like thread, I’d stitch him to the air
  76.  
  77. i’d tell my younger self to walk away, to choose the cross instead of snare
  78.  
  79. but history’s a heavy coat and regret’s somebody else’s name
  80.  
  81. i promise i’ll try to change —even if my hands still blame
  82.  
  83.  
  84. final chorus (stripped)
  85.  
  86. i dropped an opp dead, mama, and the dawn don’t feel the same
  87.  
  88. i keep your picture in my pocket like an answer with no claim
  89.  
  90. i’ll carry this until the day my heart learns how to mend
  91.  
  92. and pray the world can grow from what we never meant to end
  93.  
  94.  
  95. outro (to Mama)
  96.  
  97. forgive me if my silence sounds like cowardice and crime
  98.  
  99. i’m trapped inside a sentence that keeps breaking time
  100.  
  101. teach me how to kneel, teach me how to let go instead
  102.  
  103. mama, i’m tired of headlines —i’m tired of blood and bread
