| [00:19.97] |
I wish the way I was living could stop serving rocks |
| [00:21.88] |
Knowing the cops is hot when I'm on the block and I |
| [00:24.27] |
Wish my brother woulda made bail |
| [00:25.69] |
So I won't have to travel 6 hours to see him in jail and I |
| [00:28.59] |
Wish that my grandmother wasn't sick |
| [00:30.25] |
Or that we would just come up on |
| [00:31.57] |
Some stacks and hit a lick and I |
| [00:33.06] |
Wish my homies wouldn't have to suffer |
| [00:35.06] |
When the streets get the upper hand on us |
| [00:36.79] |
And we lose a brother and I |
| [00:38.05] |
Wish I could go deep in a zone |
| [00:39.34] |
And lift the spirits of the world |
| [00:40.45] |
With the words with in this song and I |
| [00:42.16] |
Wish I could teach a soul to fly |
| [00:43.70] |
Take away the pain out cha hands |
| [00:44.81] |
And help you hold them high and I |
| [00:46.05] |
Wish my hommie Butch was still alive |
| [00:47.86] |
And on the day of his death |
| [00:49.42] |
We had never took that ride and I |
| [00:50.94] |
Wish God could protect us from the wrong |
| [00:52.82] |
So that all the soldiers |
| [00:53.73] |
That were sent over seas come home |
| [00:55.07] |
We will never break though |
| [00:56.50] |
They devastate we shall motivate |
| [00:57.98] |
And we gotta pray all we got is faith |
| [00:59.89] |
Instead of thinking about who gonna die to day |
| [01:01.76] |
The Lord is gonna help you feel better |
| [01:03.16] |
So you ain't gotta cry today |
| [01:04.42] |
Sit at the light so long |
| [01:05.59] |
And then we gotta move straight forward |
| [01:07.34] |
'Cuz we fight so strong |
| [01:08.20] |
So when right go wrong |
| [01:10.09] |
Just say a little prayer get ya money man |
| [01:12.26] |
Life go on let's hope |
| [01:13.16] |

I know it ain't easy but that's okay 'cause we hopeful |
| [01:31.92] |
I wish that you could show some love |
| [01:33.16] |
Instead of hatin' so much |
| [01:33.99] |
When you see some other people comin' up |
| [01:35.40] |
I wish I could teach the world to sing |
| [01:37.16] |
Watch the music and have |
| [01:38.44] |
'Em trippin' of the joy I bring shit |
| [01:40.51] |
I wish that we could hold hands |
| [01:41.91] |
Listen instead of dissin' lessons from a grown man and I |
| [01:44.63] |
Wish the families that lack but got love get some stacks |
| [01:47.22] |
Brand new shack and a lack that's on dubs and I |
| [01:49.51] |
Wish we could keep achieving wonders |
| [01:50.81] |
See the vision of the world through |
| [01:52.23] |
The eyes of Stevie Wonder you feel me |
| [01:53.83] |
And I hope all the kids eat |
| [01:55.32] |
And don't nobody in my family see six feet ya dig |
| [01:57.88] |
I hope them mothers stand strong |
| [01:59.65] |
You can make it whether |
| [02:00.67] |
You wit' him or your man's gone and I |
| [02:02.36] |
Wish I could give every celly some commissary |
| [02:04.68] |
And the po po bring the heat on |
| [02:06.05] |
Them priest like they did R Kelly and I |
| [02:07.63] |
Wish that DOC could scream again |
| [02:08.92] |
And bullets could reverse so Pac |
| [02:10.08] |
And Biggie breath again shit |
| [02:11.18] |
|
| [02:12.07] |
Then one day they could speak again |
| [02:13.41] |
I wish that we only saw good news |
| [02:14.83] |
Every time we look at CNN |
| [02:16.05] |
I wish that we could never get the blues |
| [02:17.88] |
Wish I could bring back the people that died at E2 |
| [02:20.08] |
I wish that we could walk a path stay doin' the right thing |
| [02:22.49] |
Hustle hard so the kids maintain up in the game let's hope |
| [02:24.81] |
Though I'm hopeful yes I am hopeful for today |

| [02:37.48] |
I know it ain't easy but that's okay 'cause we hopeful |
| [02:43.30] |
Wish the earth wasn't so apocalyptic |
| [02:44.61] |
I try to spread my message to the world |
| [02:46.42] |
The best way I can give it |
| [02:47.62] |
We can make it always so optimistic |
| [02:48.89] |
If you don't listen gotta live my life the best way I can live it |
| [02:51.99] |
I pray for justice when we go to court |
| [02:53.79] |
Wish it was all good so the country never even went to war |
| [02:56.10] |
Why can't we kick it and just get em on |
| [02:58.33] |
And in the famous words of Mr King |
| [02:59.82] |
"Why can't we all just get along" |
| [03:01.15] |
Or we can find a better way to shop and please and I |
| [03:03.48] |
Hope we find a better way to cop a keys and I |
| [03:05.65] |
Wish everybody would just stop and freeze |
| [03:07.18] |
And ask way are we fulfillin' these downfalls and prophecies |
| [03:09.97] |
You can be wrong if it's you doubting |
| [03:11.74] |
With the faith of a mustard seed you can move mountains |
| [03:13.98] |
And only the heavenly father and ease the hurt |
| [03:16.20] |
Just let it go and keep prayin' on |
| [03:17.71] |
Your knees in church and let's hope |
| [03:19.07] |
Though I'm hopeful yes I am hopeful for today |
