I Wish - Radio Edit

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
 Ghetto America
 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, goin' on four long years
 Still wakin' up late at night cryin' tears
 Just thinkin' about those days you used to talk to me
 Smilin' while I'm sippin' on this Hennessey
 And remember, we'd brag on how rich we would be
 To get 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 is 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, 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 okay
 And if I make it out, this thug life
 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
 I wonder how my friends would treat me now
 If I was 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 is sayin'
 Boy, I tell you folks don't know the half
 I would give it all up just to take one ride
 With you
 And how I used to hoop off in them to 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
 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 okay
 And if I make it out this thug life
 See you again someday
 I wish, I wish, I wish
 I wish, I wish, I wish
 Voices in my head been tellin' me to come to church
 Say, the Lord is the only way for you to stop the hurt
 Dreamin' of windows, black-tinted like a hearse
 But wakin' 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
 Oh, 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 okay
 Oh, 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 okay
 Oh, 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 okay
 Oh, 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
