But did ya or do ya ever think about the past?
I did that but yo them good times never last
I went back cuz uh Hindsight is 2020
And you know what right now the time is good as any
To blow up and save a little something for the winter
'Cause it could be a cold rainy day in December
You will go broke living beyond your means
It's no surrender in the real world scheme of things
Get me once it's your fault you threw the salt
But if ya get me twice I shoulda saw that you were faulty
So I pay the price for all the trust that I bestowed
I can't make it right just never walk down that road
Life goes on like me & Pigeon John in that song
You can't be sitting there tripping off of what you did wrong
Any angle I didn't see I peep it sharp & precise
If it's your area of expertise I'll take your advice

'Cause uh Hindsight is 2020
That's right you feel me Hindsight is 2020
It's true they say that Hindsight is 2020
You live and learn don't you (2x) (you just live and learn)
Hindsight is 2020
That's right you feel me Hindsight is 2020
It's true they say that Hindsight is 2020
We live and learn don't we (2x) (we live and learn)

Help yourself if nobody's working for you
And be creative you can always make something new
Get on the ball the path in which you're gonna pursue
Plus you gotta be passionate about the work that you do
'Cause if not it's just a paycheck
Better yet call it a safety net
How real does it get?
Pursuing a dream is like living off money that you ain't made yet
Taste success but remember how you kept it true
Can't forget about your family and immediate crew
No regrets what's done is done we pushed on through
Everyone knows you don't always get the credit that's due
To be underestimated is a motivator
Right now I'ma work hard to show 'em later
There isn't a stone that will be left unturned
The future's brighter if you recognize you live and you learn

'Cause uh Hindsight is 2020
That's right you feel me Hindsight is 2020
It's true they say that Hindsight is 2020
You live and learn don't you (2x) (you just live and learn)
Hindsight is 2020
That's right you feel me Hindsight is 2020
It's true they say that Hindsight is 2020
We live and learn don't we (2x) (we live and learn)

So if ya and when ya ever reminisce on it
Remember life is long with its shortcomings
Your memory should not rule you so move on
Your history won't let you repeat the same wrongs
I'm Scott free and all them non-knowing days are gone
Like Shock G and Digital it's still the same song
The players change but the game is the game
and it's a whole lot of hating when you're making a name
Bear the pain 'cause there's more work to do
Give it your all if not then all you're hurting is you
Pray for those who falsely persecute
They don't know Father be merciful
May universal wisdom be elevated
And may your best guess be educated
Every move calculated
With respect for Mother Nature & how the Creator made it

'Cause uh Hindsight is 2020
That's right you feel me Hindsight is 2020
It's true they say that Hindsight is 2020
You live and learn don't you (2x) (you just live and learn)
Hindsight is 2020
That's right you feel me Hindsight is 2020
It's true they say that Hindsight is 2020
We live and learn don't we (2x) (we live and learn)
