| R. Kelly - I Wish I wish, I wish, I wish, (To every city, every hood and every block), I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish, Rollin� through the hood, Just stopped by to say what�s up, And let you know your baby boy ain�t doin� so tough, Even though you passed, Going on four long years, Still waking up late at night cryin� tears, Just thinkin� about those days, You used to talk to me, Smilin� while I�m sippin� on this Hennessy, 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 playin�, Oh I can�t believe my ears and what everybody�s sayin�, 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 kick it on the front porch, With you, And how I used to lay back and smoke weed, 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, 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, Even though I can�t see your face, I know you�re smilin� down on me, Sayin� everything�s OK, 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, Ever since this money come, It�s been nothing but stress, Sometimes I wish that 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 shit gets heavy like a ton, That�s why you hear me shootin� this real shit off like a gun, Mmm 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 players get a real player hatin� em, Honey love goes platinum and y�all ass come �round, But y�all don�t wanna raise the roof, Until my shit is goin� down, And now you hear my songs, The radio is playin�, Oh I can�t believe my ears and what everybody�s sayin�, 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 hoop off in them tournaments, With you, And how I used to club hop on weekends, With you, Your family called the morning of a tragic end, Damn my condolences, Repeat Chorus Voices in my head, Be tellin� me to come to church, Say the Lord is the only way for you to stop the hurt, Dreaming of windows, Black-tinted like a hearse, But waking up to life sometimes seems worse, And all I ever wanted is to be a better man, And I try to keep it real with my homies, man, Want 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 playin�, Oh I can�t believe my ears and what everybody�s sayin�, 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 throwin� them stones at me, Somebody pray for me, Repeat Chorus |
