I Wish

[Intro] I wish, I wish, I wish To every city I wish, I wish, I wish Every hood I wish, I wish, I wish And every block I wish, I wish, I wish Ghetto America! [Verse 1] Rollin' through the hood Just stopped by to say what's up And let you know That your baby boy ain't doing so tough And even though you passed Going on four long years Still waking up late at night crying tears Just thinking about those days You used to talk to me Smilin' while I'm sippin' on this Hennessy And remember we bragged on how rich we would be To get up out this hood was like a fantasy [Hook 1] And now you hear my songs the radio is playin' Oh I can't believe my ears And what everybody's sayin' And boy I'll 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 [Hook 2] 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 smiling down on me Saying everything's okay 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 [Verse 2] Now ever since this money come It's been nothing but stress Sometimes I wish 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 shit gets heavy like a ton That's why you hear me shootin' This real shit off like a gun Hmm 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 niggas get fake ass digits And fake ass players get a real player hatin' 'em Honey Love goes platinum and y'all ass come around But y'all don't wanna raise the roof Until my shit is going down [Hook 1] (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 the tragic end Damn, my condolences [Hook 2] Voices in my head be telling me to come to church Saying the Lord is the only way for you to stop the hurt Dreaming of windows black tinted like a hearse When 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 land For me to save the world I don't understand How did I become the leader of a billion fans? [Hook 1] (With you) How I used to street perform on Friday (With you) And how I used to go to church on Easter Sunday (With you) Instead of you all throwing them stones at me Somebody pray for me [Hook 2 until end]
