I Wish

I wish, I wish, I wish (To every city, every hood and every block) I wish,I wish,I wish (Ghetto America) I wish,I wish,I wish, I wish,I wish,I wish Rollin' through the hood Just stopped by to say what's up And let you know your baby boy ain't doin' so tough Even though you passed Going on four long years Still waking up late at night cryin' tears Just thinkin' about those days You used to talk to me Smilin' while I'm sippin' on this Hennessy And remember we'd brag on how rich we would be To get up out this hood was like a fantasy 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 know the half I would give it all up just to take one ride with you How I used to kick it on the front porch With you And how I used to lay back and smoke weed With you And all the little basement party joints we'd do Now I'm just missing you How I wish I wish that I could hold you now I wish that I could touch you now I wish that I could talk to you Be with you somehow I know you're in a better place Even though I can't see your face I know you're smilin' dawn on me Sayin' everything's OK And if I make it out this thug life I'll see you again someday I wish, I wish, I wish I wish, I wish, I wish Ever since this money come It's been nothing but stress Sometimes I wish that I could just 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 sh★t gets heavy like a ton That's why you hear me shootin' this real sh★t off like a gun Mmm I wonder how my friends would treat me now If I wasn't iced up with a Bentley and a house That's why Fake-ass n★★★as get fake-ass digits And fake-ass players get a real player hatin' em “Honey love” goes platinum and y'all ass come 'round But y'all don't wanna raise the roof Until my sh★t is goin' down 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 know the half I would give it all up just to take one ride with you How I used to hoop off in them tournaments With you And how I used to club hop on weekends With you Your family called the morning of a tragic end Damn...my condolences I wish that I could hold you now I wish that I could touch you now I wish that I could talk to you Be with you somehow I know you're in a better place Even though I can't see your face I know you're smilin' dawn on me Sayin' everything's OK And if I make it out this thug life I'll see you again someday I wish, I wish, I wish I wish, I wish, I wish Voices in my head Be tellin' me to come to church Say the load is the only way for you to stop the hurt Dreaming of windows Black-tinted like a hearse But waking up to life sometimes seems worse And all I ever wanted is to be a better man And 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 fans 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 know the half I would give it all up just to take one ride With 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 play for me I wish that I could hold you now I wish that I could touch you now I wish that I could talk to you Be with you somehow I know you're in a better place Even though I can't see your face I know you're smilin' dawn on me Sayin' everything's OK I wish that I could hold you now I wish that I could touch you now I wish that I could talk to you Be with you somehow I know you're in a better place Even though I can't see your face I know you're smilin' dawn on me Sayin' everything's OK…
