Built around Wishing you could undo mistakes in life like undoing on a computer, but learning that you can't - you can only move forward. Street Wire's raw, unfiltered production carries the concept through hip-hop that rewards repeat listens. "If life had an undo button I'd press it twice" — the kind of line that sticks in your head three days later. The mood runs introspective, regretful yet hopeful. Genre showcases on Majik's aren't filler — they're proof that independent music can carry real emotional weight when the lyrics and production align.
[verse 1]
If life had an undo button I'd press it twice
Once for the words I said, once for the bad advice
I gave myself at twenty-one, thinking I knew it all
Control-Z the ego trip before the fall
I'd undo the night I chose the money over friends
The text I sent at two AM that I can't un-send
The shortcuts that I took that cost me years
The times I held it in when I should have shed the tears
But life ain't got a history panel
Can't right-click and undo, there ain't a manual
Every action's permanent, carved in stone
No version control for the seeds you've sown
[chorus]
Ctrl+Z, I wish I could take it back
Ctrl+Z, get my life back on track
But there's no undo in the real world, son
Every mistake made can't be undone
Ctrl+Z, just a dream on the keys
In real life you learn to live with these
Scars and stories, errors and all
No Ctrl+Z when you stumble and fall
[verse 2]
I'd undo the day I didn't visit mama's bed
Was too busy grinding, should've been there instead
She called me on a Sunday, I said I'll come next week
Next week turned to never, now my eyes leak
Ctrl+Z that moment if I could
Be there holding her hand like a good son should
But the cursor of time only moves one way
Forward through the night and into the day
So I carry the weight of what I can't erase
A permanent file in my memory space
No recycle bin for the things I've lost
Every shortcut comes with a hidden cost
[chorus]
Ctrl+Z, I wish I could take it back
Ctrl+Z, get my life back on track
But there's no undo in the real world, son
Every mistake made can't be undone
Ctrl+Z, just a dream on the keys
In real life you learn to live with these
Scars and stories, errors and all
No Ctrl+Z when you stumble and fall
[bridge]
Maybe that's the beauty of being human
No save states, no reloading, no illusion
Every moment matters because it's permanent
Every choice we make is the firmament
[verse 3]
So I stopped looking backward at the screen
Started writing forward, if you know what I mean
Can't undo the past but I can code the future
New functions, new methods, be my own tutor
The errors made me better at debugging life
Every crash report led to cleaner strife
So keep your Ctrl+Z, I'll take the scars
They're the source code of exactly who we are
[chorus]
Ctrl+Z, I wish I could take it back
Ctrl+Z, get my life back on track
But there's no undo in the real world, son
Every mistake made can't be undone
Ctrl+Z, just a dream on the keys
In real life you learn to live with these
Scars and stories, errors and all
No Ctrl+Z, but I'm standing tall
