R Kelly I Wish Lyrics

I Wish Lyrics

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 shit gets heavy like a ton
That's why you
hear me shootin'
This real shit 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 shit 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

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

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 herse
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

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
