I should have taken cosmetology
majored in Computer Science
double majored . .. . studied abroad
become accustomed to a day at the gym
in retrospect
I should have had a happy day
and told everyone else to "step!"
I should have gone natural 
ten years ago . . . maybe dreads or a fro'
in retrospect . . . 
I should have gone with IBM
instead of Apple
I should have made twenty copies
of that lie she told on me
in retrospect . . . 
I should have gone to church
every Sunday . . . I should have told her
don't do it because "you reap what you sow"
and I should have waited
in retrospect . . . 
I should have done a lot of things
gone many places
said many things
to many people
yes . . . 
that's in restrospect
