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
Ghetto America
Rollin' through the hood Just stopped by to say, what's up
Came to let you know 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 Hennesey
And remember, We'd brag 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 ya'll 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 **** (With you) And all the little basement Party joints we'd do Now I'm just missing you How I wish I wish that I could hold you now (oh, I) I wish that I could touch you now (oh, I) 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 Sayin' 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 Now ever since this money come 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 **** Gets heavy like a ton That's why you hear me shootin' This real **** 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 ****** 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 **** 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 ya'll 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 condolences
I wish that I could hold you now (oh)
I wish that I could touch you now (oh) I wish that I could talk to you
Be with you somehow
(Oh, I know yeah) I know you're in a better place (oh) Even though I can't see your face (oh)
I know you're smiling down on me Sayin' 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 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 hurst When waking up to life, Sometimes it seems worst And all I ever wanted Is to be a better man And I try to keep it real With my homies man For me to save the world, I don't understand How did I become the leader Of a billion fans 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 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'd go to church on Easter Sunday (With you) Instead of y'all throwing them stones at me
Somebody pray for me Oh, I wish that I could hold you now (oh, I) I wish that I could touch you now (oh, I) I wish that I could talk to you (talk to you) Be with you somehow
(Still I know)
But I know you're in a better place (In a better place) Even though I can't see your face (oh, I) I know you're smiling down on me (smilin') Saying everything's okay
To all of my homies I wish that I could hold you now (oh) I wish that I could touch you now (right now) I wish that I could talk to you (talk to you) Be with you (be with you) Somehow
(Somehow I know) But I know you're in a better place (oh) Even though I can't see your face (See your face) I know you're smiling down on me (smilin') Saying everything's okay
My mom, I'm at the crossroads I wish that I could hold you now (of my my, my, my, life)
I wish that I could talk to you Come on and braid my hair
Come on and braid my hair
Come on and braid my hair
Come on and braid my hair
Come on and braid my hair, My hair
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
