[00:01.70]I wish I wish I wish
[00:03.60]To every city
[00:04.72]I wish I wish I wish
[00:06.65]Every hood
[00:07.63]I wish I wish I wish
[00:10.53]Ghetto America
[00:11.26]I wish I wish I wish
[00:12.87]Rollin' through the hood
[00:13.80]Just stopped by to say what's up
[00:15.63]Came to let you know
[00:16.76]Your baby boy ain't doing so tough
[00:18.99]Even though you passed
[00:20.20]Going on four long years
[00:22.00]Still waking up late at night crying tears
[00:25.33]Just thinking about those days
[00:26.94]You used to talk to me
[00:28.76]Smilin' while I'm sippin' on this hennesey
[00:31.42]And remember we'd brag on how rich we would be
[00:34.68]To get up out this hood was like a fantasy
[00:37.04]Now you hear my songs the radio is bangin'
[00:39.70]Oh I can't believe my ears
[00:41.15]And what everybody's sayin'
[00:43.66]Boy I'll tell you
[00:44.82]Folks don't know the half
[00:46.13]I would give it all up
[00:47.59]Just to take one ride
[00:49.02]With you
[00:49.81]How I used to kick it on the front porch
[00:52.10]With you
[00:52.75]And how I used to lay back and smoke w**d
[00:55.08]With you
[00:55.75]And all the little basement party joints we'd do
[00:58.92]Now I'm just missing you
[01:00.89]How I wish
[01:01.89]I wish that I could hold you now oh I
[01:04.95]I wish that I could touch you now oh I
[01:07.82]I wish that I could talk to you
[01:10.14]Be with you somehow
[01:12.63]I know
[01:13.70]I know you're in a better place
[01:16.80]Even though I can't see your face
[01:19.89]I know you're smiling down on me
[01:22.07]Sayin' everything's okay
[01:28.17]And if I make it out this thug life
[01:30.08]See you again someday
[01:32.69]I wish I wish I wish
[01:35.70]I wish I wish I wish
[01:37.81]Now ever since this money come
[01:39.05]Been nothing but stress
[01:40.71]Sometimes I wish I could just trade in my success
[01:44.03]Y'all look at me and say boy you've been blessed
[01:47.08]But y'all don't see the inside of my unhappiness
[01:50.11]Man I swear this sh*t gets heavy like a ton
[01:52.65]That's why you hear me shootin' this real sh*t off like a gun
[01:56.16]Hmm I wonder how my friends would treat me now
[01:58.90]If I wasn't iced up with a bentley and a house
[02:01.76]That's why fake a** niggas get fake a** digits
[02:05.49]Fake a** playas get a real playa hatin' 'em
[02:08.26]Honey love goes platinum and y'all a** come around
[02:11.24]But y'all don't wanna raise the roof until my sh*t is going down
[02:14.19]And now you hear my songs the radio is bangin'
[02:16.91]Oh I can't believe my ears
[02:18.41]And what everybody's sayin'
