 Send "I Wish" Ringtone to your Cell 

 

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
Good Ol' America!

Rollin'
through the hood
Just stopped by to say what's
up
Came to 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
Hennesy
And remember we bragged 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 bangin'
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 days and 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
And you know I
can see your face
I know you're smiling down
on me
Saying everything's okay
And if I
never leave this thug life
I'll see you again
someday
I wish, I wish, I wish
I wish, I
wish, I wish

Now ever since this money
come
Been nothing but stress
Sometimes I
wish I could 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 playas get a
real playa 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

And now you hear my songs the radio
is bangin'
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 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
condolensces

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
And
you know I can see your face
I know you're
smiling down on me
Saying everything's
okay
And if I never leave 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 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 herse
When waking up to
life sometimes seems worst
And all I ever
wanted is to be a better man
And I try to keep
it real with my homies now
For me to save the
world I don't understand
How did I become the
leader of a billion men?

And now you hear
my songs the radio is bangin'
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 street perform on Friday
(With you)
And
how I used to go to church on Easter
Sunday
(With you)
Standing here throwing
them songs at me
Somebody pray 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
And you know I can see your
face
I know you're smiling down on
me
Saying everything's okay
And if I never
leave this thug life
I'll see you again
someday
I wish, I wish, I wish
I wish, I
wish, I wish
