I Wish
Chorus1A:
I wish,I wish,I wish
(To every city,every hood
and every block)
I wish,I wish
(Ghetto America)
I wish,I wish,I wish,
I wish,I wish,I wishVerse1
Rollin' through the hoodJust stopped to say what's up
And let you know your baby
boy aint doin' so tough
Even though you passedGoing on four long years
Still waking up late at night
cryin' tears
just thinkin' about those days
You used to talk to meSmilin' while I'm sippin'onthis Hennessy
And remember we'd brag onhow rich we would be
To get out this hood waslike a fantasyPre-Chorus
And now you hear my songsThe radio is playin'
Oh I can't believe my earsand what everybody is sayin'
Boy I tell you folks don't knowthe half
I would give it all up just to
take on ride with you
How I used to kick it on thefront porch
With you
And how I used to lay back andsmoke weed
With you
And all the little basement party
joints we'd do
Now I'm just missing you
How I wishChorus1
I wish that I couldhold you now
I wish that I could
touch you now
I wish that I could talk to youBe with you somehow
I know you're in a better placeEven though I can't seeyour face
I know you're smilin'
down at me
Sayin' everything's OK
And if I make it out thisthug life
I'll see you again somedayI wish,I wish,I wish,
I wish,I wish,I wishVerse2
Ever since this money come
It's been nothing but stress
Sometimes I wish that I couldjust trade in my success
Y'all look at me and say
Boy,you've been blessed
But y'all don't see the inside of
my unhappiness
Man,I swear this shit gets
heavy like a ton
That's why you hear me
shootin' this real shit off
like a gun
Mmmm I wonder how my friendswould treat me now
If I wasn't iced up with a
Bentley and a houseThat's why
Fake-ass niggas
get fake-ass digits
And fake-ass player get a real
player hatin'em
"Honey Love" goes platnium
and y'all ass come 'round
But y'all don't wanna raisethe roof
Until my shit is goin' downPre-Chorus
And now you hear my songsThe radio is playin'
Oh I can't believe my earsand what everybody is sayin'
Boy I tell you folks don't knowthe half
I would give it all up just to takeone ride with youHow I used to hoop off in
them to tournaments
With you
And how I used to club hop
on weekends
With you
your family called the morning
of the tragic end
Damn..my condolencesChorusVerse3
Voices in my head
Be tellin' me to come to church
Say the lord is the only way for
you to stop the hurtDreaming of windows
Black-tinted like a herse
But waking up to life sometimes
seems worse
And all I ever wanted is to be a
better manAnd I try to keep it real with my
homies, man
Want me to save the world
I don't understand
How did I become the leader of
a billion fansPre-Chorus
And now you hear my songs
The radio is playin'
Oh, I can't believe my ears and
what everybody's sayin'
Boy I tell you folks don't knowthe half
I would give it all up just to take
one rideWith you
How I used to street perform
on Friday
With you
and how I'd go to church on
Easter Sunday
With you
Instead of y'all throwin' them
stones at me
Somebody pray for meChorus
