[Intro]
[vocal bass kick and snare-like percussion begins]
[rhythmic vocal chant enters]
Chop-u-da chop-u-da ban-ding-ton
Chop-u-da chop-u-da ban-ding-ton
Chop-u-da chop-u-da ban-ding-ton
Chop-u-da chop-u-da ban-ding-ton
[Verse 1]
[staccato vocal pulse enters]
Go, go, go, go-go-go-go
Go, go, go, go-go-go-go
Go, go, go, go-go-go-go
Go, go, go, go-go-go-go
[Intro]
(Yeah…)
(Hmm…)
Life keeps talking…
I finally started listening
[Verse 1]
Everybody chasing numbers like they’re breathing air
Running in circles, but they swear they’re getting somewhere
Another bigger house
Another bigger chain
Another polished smile
Trying to hide the pain
They sold tomorrow
For a comfortable today
Clocking in their heartbeat
Watching colors fade away
I’m not judging…
I’m just built another way
I’d rather lose my balance
Than lose myself one day
[Pre-Chorus]
Funny thing…
The more I stopped chasing gold
The more I found souls
Real ones
Laughing over cheap coffee
Dreaming under open skies
That’s rich enough for me
[Chorus]
Life ain’t easy—
But it ain’t only pain
I found my people
Now I’m dancing in the rain
You can buy a mansion…
You can’t purchase peace
You can own the ocean…
Still never feel free
If I gotta choose…
Between regret…
And a voyage…
I’m choosing the voyage
Every
Single
Time
HOOK
Still alive, still I rise
Like a weed beneath the skyline
Cut me down a thousand times
Watch me bloom in hard times
“I trust myself!
SAI-WAH!”
“I trust myself!
SAI-WAH!”
“I trust myself!
SAI-WAH!”
I don’t let up
I don’t fold
I don’t quit
[vocal bass kick and snare-like percussion begins]
[rhythmic vocal chant enters]
Chop-u-da chop-u-da ban-ding-ton
Chop-u-da chop-u-da ban-ding-ton
Chop-u-da chop-u-da ban-ding-ton
Chop-u-da chop-u-da ban-ding-ton
[staccato vocal pulse enters]
Go, go, go, go-go-go-go
Go, go, go, go-go-go-go
Go, go, go, go-go-go-go
Go, go, go, go-go-go-go
[Verse 2]
Three meals
Safe walls
A comfortable cage
Sounds familiar…
That’s the zoo
I’d rather hear the wolves
Than the applause of prisoners
I’d rather sleep beneath stars
Than forget who I was
Wake the wild inside
Break the invisible chain
The map was never wrong…
I was just afraid to leave
[Bridge]
Money buys comfort
Comfort buys habits
Habits build cages
Freedom builds legends
I’d rather bleed for a dream
Than smile inside a prison
[Final Chorus]
Raise the sail
Leave the harbor
Storms don’t scare me anymore
The sea remembers
Who had courage
The shore remembers
Who stayed afraid
No more cages
No more pretending
No more borrowed dreams
I trust my own compass
I trust my own heartbeat
I trust myself
Forever
HOOK
Still alive, still I rise
Like a weed beneath the skyline
Cut me down a thousand times
Watch me bloom in hard times
[Outro]
“I trust myself!
SAI-WAH!”
“I trust myself!
SAI-WAH!”
“I trust myself!
SAI-WAH!”
I don’t let up
I don’t fold
I don’t quit
I believe in me
No regrets
Only voyages
“I trust myself!
SAI-WAH!”
Yeah…
We’re alive
Chop-u-da chop-u-da ban-ding-ton
Chop-u-da chop-u-da ban-ding-ton
No regret
Bon Voyage
“I trust myself!
SAI-WAH!”

Voyage Over Regret (Voyage Over Regret (Soul Breeze Mix))
DJ Shu Mahha
**"Voyage Over Regret "** is a soulful Boom Bap Hip Hop anthem about choosing freedom over comfort and staying true to your own path.
Built on hard-hitting drums, powerful call-and-response hooks, and reflective lyricism, the song explores a world where success is often measured by numbers and possessions, while reminding us that real wealth comes from genuine connections, courage, and inner peace.
At its core is a simple but powerful message: when life asks you to choose between regret and the unknown, choose the voyage. No matter how many times you're knocked down, keep rising, trust your own compass, and never stop believing in yourself.
Blending the spirit of classic '90s Hip Hop with a timeless message of resilience and self-belief, **"I Trust Myself"** delivers an inspiring soundtrack for anyone determined to live life on their own terms.
