BLUESY TRAP - EVERY WAR I CHOSE 🎵

🎧 WELCOME TO BLUESY TRAP Music created with the help of our friend IA, but produced, remastered, and written by me. ... LYRIC: [Intro] Somebody asked me last week if I'd take any of it back. Said it soft, like he was doing me a kindness. Like he was opening a door I'd want to walk through. I looked at him a while before I answered. No. Not one day of it. Not one. [Verse 1] You want to know about the enemies. That's always where they start. The men I stood against, the ones who don't say my name warm, Like a man should come to the end of things with nobody across from him, Like a life with no one against it was a life that had been lived. Every enemy I made, I chose. I want that understood. I didn't stumble into one of them. I saw it and I picked it. Because a man who's got no enemies has stood for nothing, ever, Has never once been in the way of anybody's wanting. So don't hand me your clean life with no one on the other side. I'll take my list of names over an empty page of yours. Each one of them's a night I didn't fold, a thing I held, And I wouldn't trade the worst of them for all your quiet friends. [Chorus] No regrets. Not the enemies, not the wars, not the cost. I've laid awake and gone through all of it, name by name, And there's not a single night of it I'd reach back now and change, 'Cause the man who'd change it wouldn't be the man who made it through. No regrets. You don't get to keep the life and give the price back. Not one. [Verse 2] The battles, then. You'll want to talk about the battles next. The ones I could have walked from, the ones that cost me years, And you'll call it pride, or stubbornness, or not knowing when to stop, And maybe you'll be right, and I'd still walk in every one again. Because I've watched the men who ducked them. That's the thing you haven't. I've watched them get their quiet, get their easy, get their peace, And I've seen what's in their eyes at the end, and it's not peace, It's the whole of every fight they walked away from, sitting there. A man is what he stood in. Not what he kept clear of. And every war I ever fought is standing in me now, Holding me up straight the way the ducked ones never will, And if that's the cost of not being hollow, then I overpaid, and gladly. [Chorus] No regrets. Not the enemies, not the wars, not the cost. I've laid awake and gone through all of it, name by name, And there's not a single night of it I'd reach back now and change, 'Cause the man who'd change it wouldn't be the man who made it through. No regrets. You don't get to keep the life and give the price back. Not one. [Bridge] Maybe there's a word for what I lost. There's got to be. The people, mostly. That's the currency it took. Ones who couldn't stay and watch me be the thing I had to be, And walked, and I let them, and I've never chased a single one. I think about them. Don't mistake me. It's not that it was free. It's that the version of me that could have kept them was a man Who'd have had to be less than what he was, and stayed small to hold them, And I loved them enough to lose them rather than shrink down to fit. [Verse 3] So no, I'll tell you plain, there's nothing here I'd take back. Not the names against me, not the fights, not the ones who left, Because you're asking me to pull one thread and keep the cloth, And it doesn't come apart like that. It's woven. It's all one. Pull the enemies and the man who beat them comes out too. Pull the wars and out comes everything they built in me. Pull the ones I lost and you've pulled the reason I could lose them, And what you'd have left is somebody I've never even met. I'd have to be a stranger to regret a day of this. Some soft man who took the easy road and never had to choose. And maybe he sleeps fine. I wouldn't know. I've never been him. I sleep like a man who paid for every inch and owns it clean. [Outro] Somebody asked me if I'd take any of it back. The enemies. The wars. The empty chairs. No regrets. You'd have to be a different man to want a different life. And I've got no interest in being anybody but the one who made it here. #mafiamusic #trapblues #mafiavibes #trap #blues #bluesytrap #darktrap #gangsterrap #bluestrap #darkmusic #beats #urbanblues #gangster #underground #nightvibes #moodybeats #cinematicmusic #mafiablues #music2026
