| [00:01.72] | I wish, I wish, I wish |
| [00:03.70] | To every city |
| [00:04.68] | I wish, I wish, I wish |
| [00:06.46] | Every hood |
| [00:06.99] | |
| [00:07.50] | I wish, I wish, I wish |
| [00:08.84] | And every block |
| [00:09.56] | |
| [00:10.46] | Ghetto America |
| [00:11.34] | |
| [00:12.82] | Rollin' through the hood |
| [00:13.67] | Just stopped by to say, what's up |
| [00:15.25] | |
| [00:15.78] | Came to let you know |
| [00:16.54] | Your baby boy ain't doing so tough |
| [00:18.44] | |
| [00:19.09] | And even though you passed |
| [00:20.18] | Going on four long years |
| [00:21.95] | Still waking up late at night, |
| [00:23.59] | Crying tears |
| [00:24.71] | |
| [00:25.44] | Just thinking about those days |
| [00:27.02] | You used to talk to me |
| [00:28.64] | Smilin', while I'm sippin' |
| [00:29.71] | On this Hennesey |
| [00:30.70] | |
| [00:31.48] | And remember, |
| [00:32.17] | We'd brag on how rich we would be |
| [00:34.68] | To get up out this hood |
| [00:35.96] | Was like a fantasy |
| [00:36.81] | And now you hear my songs, |
| [00:38.06] | The radio is bangin' |
| [00:39.77] | Oh, I can't believe my ears |
| [00:41.09] | And what everybody's sayin' |
| [00:42.98] | |
| [00:43.72] | And boy, I'll tell ya'll |
| [00:44.60] | Folks don't know the half |
| [00:46.09] | I would give it all up |
| [00:47.49] | Just to take one ride |
| [00:49.04] | (With you) |
| [00:49.98] | How I used to kick it |
| [00:51.19] | On the front porch |
| [00:52.12] | (With you) |
| [00:52.74] | And how I used to lay back |
| [00:54.23] | And smoke weed |
| [00:54.86] | (With you) |
| [00:55.64] | And all the little basement |
| [00:56.84] | Party joints we'd do |
| [00:58.81] | Now I'm just missing you |
| [01:00.82] | How I wish |
| [01:01.87] | I wish that I could hold you now (oh, I) |
| [01:04.96] | I wish that I could touch you now (oh, I) |
| [01:07.78] | I wish that I could talk to you |
| [01:09.62] | |
| [01:10.17] | Be with you somehow |
| [01:12.18] | |
| [01:12.86] | I know you're in a better place |
| [01:16.20] | |
| [01:16.93] | Even though I can't see your face |
| [01:19.09] | |
| [01:19.99] | I know you're smiling down on me |
| [01:22.08] | Sayin' everything's okay |
| [01:24.99] | |
| [01:28.14] | And if I make it out this thug life |
| [01:29.95] | I'll see you again someday |
| [01:31.49] | |
| [01:32.76] | I wish, I wish, I wish |
| [01:34.87] | |
| [01:35.78] | I wish, I wish, I wish |
| [01:38.00] | Now ever since this money come |
| [01:39.11] | Been nothing but stress |
| [01:40.15] | |
| [01:40.87] | Sometimes I wish I could |
| [01:42.06] | Just trade in my success |
| [01:43.26] | |
| [01:44.07] | Y'all look at me and say, |
| [01:45.62] | Boy you've been blessed |
| [01:47.05] | But y'all don't see the inside |
| [01:48.49] | Of my unhappiness |
| [01:49.59] | |
| [01:50.12] | Man, I swear this shit |
| [01:51.23] | Gets heavy like a ton |
| [01:52.64] | That's why you hear me shootin' |
| [01:53.86] | This real shit off like a gun |
| [01:55.93] | Hmm, I wonder how my friends |
| [01:57.48] | Would treat me now |
| [01:58.90] | If I wasn't iced up with a Bentley |
| [02:00.77] | And a house |
| [02:01.69] | That's why fake-ass niggas |
| [02:03.09] | Get fake-ass digits |
| [02:04.47] | And fake-ass playas |
| [02:06.18] | Get a real playa hatin' 'em |
| [02:08.33] | 'Honey Love' goes platinum |
| [02:09.68] | And y'all ass come around |
| [02:11.22] | But y'all don't wanna raise |
| [02:12.35] | The roof until my shit is going down |
| [02:14.21] | And now you hear my songs |
| [02:15.24] | The radio is bangin' |
| [02:16.80] | Oh, I can't believe my ears |
| [02:18.21] | And what everybody's sayin' |
| [02:19.85] | |
| [02:20.86] | And boy, I'll tell ya'll |
| [02:21.85] | Folks don't know the half |
| [02:23.23] | I would give it all up |
| [02:24.53] | Just to take one ride |
| [02:26.05] | (With you) |
| [02:27.04] | How I used to hoop off |
| [02:28.45] | In them tournaments |
| [02:29.20] | (With you) |
| [02:29.97] | And how I used to club |
| [02:31.16] | Hop on weekends |
| [02:31.96] | (With you) |
| [02:32.90] | Your family called the morning |
| [02:34.22] | Of the tragic end |
| [02:36.16] | Damn, my condolences |
| [02:38.29] | |

| [02:41.48] | |
| [02:41.99] | I wish that I could touch you now (oh) |
| [02:44.95] | I wish that I could talk to you |
| [02:46.86] | |
| [02:47.40] | Be with you somehow |

| [03:15.21] | Voices in my head be telling me |
| [03:16.90] | To come to church |
| [03:18.11] | Saying, the Lord is the only way |
| [03:19.53] | For you to stop the hurt |
| [03:21.15] | Dreaming of windows, |
| [03:22.54] | Black-tinted like a hurst |
| [03:24.42] | When waking up to life, |
| [03:25.78] | Sometimes it seems worst |
| [03:27.97] | And all I ever wanted |
| [03:29.06] | Is to be a better man |
| [03:31.20] | And I try to keep it real |
| [03:32.65] | With my homies man |
| [03:34.32] | For me to save the world, |
| [03:35.74] | I don't understand |
| [03:37.24] | How did I become the leader |
| [03:38.58] | Of a billion fans |
| [03:39.27] | And now you hear my songs |
| [03:40.34] | The radio is bangin' |
| [03:41.63] | Oh, I can't believe my ears |

| [03:54.15] | (With you) |
| [03:54.90] | And how I'd go to church on Easter Sunday |
| [03:56.98] | (With you) |
| [03:57.78] | Instead of y'all throwing them stones at me |
| [04:00.76] | |
| [04:01.90] | Somebody pray for me |
| [04:03.11] | Oh, I wish that I could hold you now |
