| [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] |
|
| [02:38.85] |
I wish that I could hold you now (oh) |
| [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 |
| [02:49.13] |
|
| [02:49.90] |
(Oh, I know yeah) |
| [02:51.03] |
I know you're in a better place (oh) |
| [02:54.00] |
Even though I can't see your face (oh) |
| [02:56.41] |
|
| [02:57.01] |
I know you're smiling down on me |
| [02:59.03] |
Sayin' everything's okay |
| [03:01.99] |
|
| [03:05.25] |
And if I make it out this thug life |
| [03:07.15] |
I'll see you again someday |
| [03:08.85] |
|
| [03:09.93] |
I wish, I wish, I wish |
| [03:11.94] |
|
| [03:12.95] |
I wish, I wish, I wish |
| [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 |
| [03:43.19] |
And what everybody's sayin' |
| [03:45.03] |
|
| [03:46.02] |
And boy, I tell you |
| [03:46.87] |
Folks don't know the half |
| [03:48.58] |
I would give it all up |
| [03:49.73] |
Just to take one ride |
| [03:50.94] |
(With you) |
| [03:51.85] |
How I used to street perform on Friday |
| [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 |
| [04:05.89] |
(oh, I) |
| [04:07.01] |
I wish that I could touch you now (oh, I) |
| [04:10.12] |
I wish that I could talk to you |
| [04:11.66] |
(talk to you) |
| [04:12.50] |
Be with you somehow |
| [04:13.98] |
|
| [04:14.67] |
(Still I know) |
| [04:15.56] |
|
| [04:16.17] |
But I know you're in a better place |
| [04:18.00] |
(In a better place) |
| [04:19.43] |
Even though I can't see your face (oh, I) |
| [04:22.19] |
I know you're smiling down on me (smilin') |
| [04:24.54] |
Saying everything's okay |
| [04:26.05] |
|
| [04:26.80] |
To all of my homies |
| [04:28.21] |
I wish that I could hold you now (oh) |
| [04:31.30] |
I wish that I could touch you now |
| [04:33.06] |
(right now) |
| [04:34.19] |
I wish that I could talk to you |
| [04:35.77] |
(talk to you) |
| [04:36.74] |
Be with you (be with you) |
| [04:38.09] |
Somehow |
| [04:38.27] |
|
| [04:38.93] |
(Somehow I know) |
| [04:40.56] |
But I know you're in a better place (oh) |
| [04:43.23] |
Even though I can't see your face |
| [04:45.15] |
(See your face) |
| [04:46.58] |
I know you're smiling down on me |
| [04:48.17] |
(smilin') |
| [04:48.57] |
Saying everything's okay |
| [04:50.47] |
|
| [04:51.05] |
My mom, I'm at the crossroads |
| [04:52.95] |
I wish that I could hold you now |
| [04:54.45] |
(of my my, my, my, life) |
| [04:57.42] |
|
| [04:58.79] |
I wish that I could talk to you |
| [05:00.15] |
Come on and braid my hair |
| [05:01.68] |
|
| [05:03.39] |
Come on and braid my hair |
| [05:04.98] |
|
| [05:06.39] |
Come on and braid my hair |
| [05:08.35] |
|
| [05:09.21] |
Come on and braid my hair |
| [05:11.47] |
|
| [05:12.40] |
Come on and braid my hair, |
| [05:14.74] |
My hair |
| [05:15.88] |
|
| [05:16.80] |
I wish that I could hold you now |
| [05:18.63] |
|
| [05:19.85] |
I wish that I could touch you now |
| [05:21.58] |
|
| [05:22.92] |
I wish that I could talk to you |
| [05:24.67] |
|
| [05:25.35] |
Be with you |
| [05:26.48] |
Somehow |
