I WISH
CHORUS 1A
I wish, I wish, I wish
(To every city, every hood and every block)
I wish, I wish, I wish (Ghetto America)
I wish, I wish, I wish
I wish, I wish, I wish
VERSE 1
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
PRE-CHORUS
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
CHORUS 1
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
VERSE 2
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
