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
Good Ol' America!

Rollin' through the hood
Just stopped by to 
say what's up
Came to let you know
That 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 Hennesy
And remember we 
bragged 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 
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 days and 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
And you know I can see your face
I know you're smiling 
down on me
Saying everything's okay
And if I never leave 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 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 s**t gets heavy like a ton
That's why you 
hear me shootin' 
This real s**t 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 niggas 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 s**t 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 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 
the tragic end
Damn, my condolensces

[Repeat *]

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 seems worst
And all I ever wanted is to be a better 
man
And I try to keep it real with my homies now
For me to save the world 
I don't understand
How did I become the leader of a billion men?

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 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 used to go to 
church on Easter Sunday
(With you)
Standing here throwing them songs at 
me
Somebody pray for me

[Repeat *]
