[Chorus: Kevin Cossom]
I'm on the move, I can-can't✦ look back (No way)
Screaming,✦ "No regrets,✦ no regrets✦ at all" (Nah)
Wasted✦ time, can't get that back, uh (Can't get that back)
So every✦ day I go hard
Real nigga✦ and all my niggas✦ real niggas✦ (Real niggas,✦ real niggas)✦
Came from making✦ real figures✦ (Too much money)✦
Nothing✦ less, no regrets✦
(Let's get it) No-no,✦ no regrets✦
[Verse 2: Jeezy]
Mama✦ had me in the ghetto✦ (Ghetto)✦
I was raised✦ in the slums (Slums)
Every✦ hero✦ got theme music, guess I need me some drums (Yeah)
Bought me a five for fifty,✦ I bust 'em down, it was jumps (Woop)
Trying to be fresh as forces,✦ I swear they white as new ones✦
Streets taught us, streets raised✦ us, had it less determined (Yeah)
Dodging✦ jackers, dodging✦ murders, federal to state pen (Damn)
Uncle got power,✦ now I see him in another ten
We was set up just to lose, Lord know we tryna✦ win
In the pursuit of this power,✦ this masterpiece to the hour
You know it's platinum and waterproof, wear this bitch in the shower✦
Yeah, we want finer✦ things, plus a plug in the scale (Scale)
Yeah, them plates✦ shining like diamond rings and plaque, can't you tell?
In the hood, I'm a king, King Arthur✦ to the people
'Cept he got his on a Chariot, I got mine in a Regal✦
Sports cars, Italian leather, Princess Cut with baguettes
Law of physics say them nines✦ weigh more when they wet, no regrets✦
[Chorus: Kevin Cossom]
Yeah, I'm on the move, I can-can't✦ look back (No way)
Screaming,✦ "No regrets,✦ no regrets✦ at all" (Nah)
Wasted✦ time, can't get that back, uh (Can't get that back)
So every✦ day I go hard
Real nigga✦ and all my niggas✦ real niggas✦ (Real niggas,✦ real niggas)✦
Came from making✦ real figures✦ (Too much money)✦
Nothing✦ less, no regrets✦
(Let's get it) No-no,✦ no regrets✦
[Verse 3: Pusha T]
Presidential, I came back, April showers, I rains back
Jumped✦ ahead like June something, still I'm wheeling that Maybach
Time forward, my braids back, Tom Ford and my shades✦ black
Dope boy with a cape on, super-sizing that beige back
All white like Gotti said, Ye told me I'm outta✦ here
Mentioned Ye two years ago,✦ yeah, I got that by the square, woo
And you could buy a pair, twenty✦ or more and we'll fly 'em there
How you acting✦ like I ain't here? D-Boy and I pioneer
[Chorus: Kevin Cossom]
Yeah, I'm on the move, I can-can't✦ look back (No way)
Screaming,✦ "No regrets,✦ no regrets✦ at all" (Nah)
Wasted✦ time, can't get that back, uh (Can't get that back)
So every✦ day I go hard
Real nigga✦ and all my niggas✦ real niggas✦ (Real niggas,✦ real niggas)✦
Came from making✦ real figures✦ (Too much money)✦
Nothing✦ less, no regrets✦
(Let's get it) No-no,✦ no regrets✦

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

Jeezy utilizes his signature authoritative, gritty cadence to anchor a narrative of socioeconomic ascension; however, the lyrical depth relies more on biographical storytelling than complex multivalent wordplay.

Rhyme Architecture: The verse relies heavily on AABB and AAAA couplets with a focus on multisyllabic end-rhymes (e.g., 'ghetto/slums/drums/jumps') that drive a steady, percussive momentum typical of mid-2000s Southern hip-hop.
Verified Doubles & Entendres

"platinum and waterproof"

① Literal description of a high-quality watch or jewelry piece② Metaphorical representation of his career's durability and inability to be tarnished by critics or legal trouble

"plug in the scale"

① A drug dealer connection (plug) possessing high-quality product② A symbol of financial measurement and the precise business metrics involved in his illicit trade

Commanding vocal presence that matches the gritty subject matter

Consistent narrative arc moving from childhood struggle to present-day success

Effective use of onomatopoeic ad-libs that support the rhythmic pocket

Wordplay is primarily metaphorical rather than layered, limiting deep structural complexity

Certain lines lean on generic tropes of the era (e.g., 'white as new ones')

Lack of sustained double entendres compared to top-tier lyricism
