Текст песни I Wish, R Kelly

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 t say what s up and
let you know your baby boy aint doing so tuff even though
u passed going on four long years still waking up late at night
crying tears just thinkin bout those days you use to talk to me
and smile while im sippin on this Hennessey 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 song cause the radio is playin
oh i cant believe my ears and what everybody s sayin
boy i tel ya folks don t know he half I would give it all
0up just to take on ride with you
how I use to kick it on the front porch with you
how I use to lay back and smoke weed wit you
all the little basement party joints we do now imp just missing you how I wish

*chorus*
I wish that I could hold ya now
I wish that I could touch you now wish that I cold talk to you and be with you somehow
I know your in a better place
even though i cant see your face
i know your smiling down on me saying everything s ok
and if I make it out of this thug life ill see you again someday
I wish I wish I wish I wish I wish I wish

*verse 2*
ever since this money came ain t nothing but stress sometimes I wish that I could just trade in my success yall look at me and say boy u been blessed but yall don t see the inside of my unhappiness man I swear this shit gets heavy like a ton tats why you hear me shouting this real shit of like a gun mmm
I wonder how my friends could treat me now if I wasn t iced out with a Bentley in the house that s why all these fake ass niggas get fake ass digits and all the fake ass playas get a real playa hatin em
honey love goes platinum and all yall ass come around but yall don t wanna raise the roof until this shit is going down

*pre chorus*
and now you hear my song cause the radio is playing
oh I cant believe my ears and what every bodies saying
boy I tell ya folks don t know he half I would give it all up just to take on ride with you
how I use to hoop of in them tournaments with you
how I use to club hop on weekends with you
your family called the morning of a tragic end damn my condolences

*chorus*

*verse 3*
voices in my head keep telling me to go to church said the lord is the only way to stop the hurt
dreaming of windows black tinted like a hearse and waking sometimes seems worse
all I ever wanted was to be a better man
I tried to keep it real with my homies man but for me to save the world I don t understand how did I become leader of a billion fans

*pre chorus*
and now you hear my song cause the radio is playing
oh I cant believe my ears and what everybody s saying
boy I tell ya folks don t know he half I would give it all up just to take on ride with you
how I use to street perform on Friday s with you
and how I go to church on Easter Sunday with you
instead of yall throwing them stones at me somebody pray for me

*chorus*
