I Wish Lyrics By R Kelly - MusicLyrics.tv

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
ghetto america

rolling through the hood just stopped by to say what’s up
and let you know that your baby boy ain’t doing so tough
and even though you passed going on four long years
i’m still waking up late at night crying tears
just thinking about those days you used to talk to me
smiling while i’m sipping on this hennessy
and remember we bragged on how rich we would be
to get up out this hood was like a fantasy

pre
and now you hear my songs the radio is playing
oh i can’t believe my ears and what everybody’s saying
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 basement 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
even though i can’t see your face
i know you’re smiling down on me
saying everything’s okay
and if i make it out 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 ut’s been nothing but stress
sometimes i wish i could just 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 shooting 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 players get a real player hating ’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

pre
and now you hear my songs the radio is playing
oh i can’t believe my ears and what everybody’s saying
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 a tragic end
damn my condolences

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 hearse
when waking up to life sometimes seems worse
and all i ever wanted is to be a better man
and i try to keep it real with my homies land
for me to save the world i don’t understand
how did i become the leader of a billion fans

pre
and now you hear my songs the radio is playing
oh i can’t believe my ears and what everybody’s saying
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
instead of you all throwing them stones at me
somebody pray for me

choir
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
even though i can’t see your face
i know you’re smiling down on me
saying everything’s okay
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
even though i can’t see your face
i know you’re smiling down on me
saying everything’s okay
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
even though i can’t see your face
i know you’re smiling down on me
saying everything’s okay
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
even though i can’t see your face
