DmC
I wish, I wish, I wish
To every city
Am7Bb
I wish, I wish, I wish
Every hood
DmC
I wish, I wish, I wish
And every block
Am7Bb
I wish, I wish, I wish
Ghetto America
DmC
Rollin' through the hood, just stopped by to say what's up
Am7Bb
And let you know that your baby boy ain't doing so tough
DmC
And even though you passed going on four long years
Am7Bb
Still waking up late at night crying tears
DmCAm7
Just thinking about those days you used to talk to me
Bb
Smilin' while I'm sippin' on this Hennessy
DmCAm7Bb
And remember we bragged on how rich we would be, to get up out this hood was like a fantasy
DmC
And now you hear my songs the radio is playin'
Am7
Oh I can't believe my ears
Bb
And what everybody's sayin'
DmC
And boy I'll tell you, folks don't know the half
Am7Bb
I would give it all up, just to take one ride
DmC
How I used to kick it on the front porch
Am7Bb
And how I used to lay back and smoke weed
DmCAm7
And all the little basement party joints we'd do
Bb
Now I'm just missing you
How I wish
(Chorus)
DmC
I wish that I could hold you now
Am7Bb
I wish that I could touch you now
DmC
I wish that I could talk to you
Am7Bb
Be with you somehow
DmC
I know you're in a better place
Am7Bb
Even though I can't see your face
DmC
I know you're smiling down on me
Am7Bb
Saying everything's okayyy
DCAm7
And if I make it out this thug life
BbDm
I'll see you again someday
DmC
I wish, I wish, I wish
Am7Bb
I wish, I wish, I wish
(Verse 2)
DmC
Now ever since this money come, been nothing but stress
Am7Bb
Sometimes I wish I could trade in my success
DmC
Y'all look at me and say boy you've been blessed
Am7Bb
But y'all don't see the inside of my unhappiness
DmC
Man I swear this sh*t gets heavy like a ton
Am7Bb
That's why you hear me shootin' This real sh*t off like a gun
DmC
Hmm I wonder how my friends would treat me now
Am7Bb
If I wasn't iced up with a Bentley and a house
DmCAm7Bb
That's why fake ass niggas get fake ass digits And fake ass playas get a real playa hatin' 'em
DmC
Honey Love goes platinum and y'all ass come around
Am7Bb
But y'all don't wanna raise the roof until my sh*t is going down
(Chorus)
DmC
How I used to hoop off in them tournaments
(With you)
Am7Bb
And how I used to club hop on weekends
(With you)
DmC
Your family called the morning of the tragic end
Am7Bb
Damn, my condolensces
(Verse 3}
DmC
Voices in my head be telling me to come to church
Am7Bb
Saying the Lord is the only way for you to stop the hurt
DmC
Dreaming of windows black tinted like a hurst
Am7Bb
When waking up to life sometimes seems worst
DmC
And all I ever wanted is to be a better man
Am7Bb
And I try to keep it real with my homies now
DmC
For me to save the world I don't understand
Am7Bb
How did I become the leader of a billion men?
DmC
How I used to street perform on Friday
(With you)
Am7Bb
And how I used to go to church on Easter Sunday
(With you)
DmC
Standing here throwing them stones at me
Am7Bb
Somebody pray for me
