If I ever get to regret
I will regret the day I regretted
Eating the food that made me purge
My stomach needed that much cleansing
.
If I ever get to regret
I will regret the day I regretted
Being duped of about twenty thousand naira
That stuff taught me more street-sense
Than the streets of Oshodi
.
If I ever get to regret
I will regret the day I regretted
Leaving my $18/hr for a $13/hr job
That stuff taught me
Opportunity cost of choice,
The value of peace-of-mind,
And more freedom than the Whitehouse
.
If I ever get to regret
I will regret the day I regretted
Not wearing winter jacket that got me almost Frozen
A lesson only few profs in North Pole understand
.
If I ever get to regret
I will regret the day I regretted
Jumping into the river because others
Were jumping and I almost got drown
That stuff taught me how to be me,
The Faithfulness of GOD than Sunday sermon
Bandwagon effects better than Econ prof,
And one new way to die so I live forever.
.
If I ever get to regret
I will regret that I regretted
Telling the girl I love
That I love her for she rejected.
That stuff taught me
The importance of timing,
And diction I didn’t learn from Act1110
.
Therefore,
If I ever get to regret anything
I have said, written or done in my life
I will regret the fact that
I am regretting something
I have said, written or done
Because everything
I have said, written or done
Work together to get me where I am today.
