I Wish (Radio Edit)歌词

作词 : R. Kelly
作曲 : R. Kelly
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

Ghetto America

Rollin' through the hood
Just stopped by to say, what's up

Came to let you know
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 Hennesey

And remember,
We'd brag 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 ya'll
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 ****
(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 (oh, I)
I wish that I could touch you now (oh, I)
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
Sayin' 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
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 ****
Gets heavy like a ton
That's why you hear me shootin'
This real **** 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 ******
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 **** 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 ya'll
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 condolences

I wish that I could hold you now (oh)

I wish that I could touch you now (oh)
I wish that I could talk to you

Be with you somehow

(Oh, I know yeah)
I know you're in a better place (oh)
Even though I can't see your face (oh)

I know you're smiling down on me
Sayin' 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
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 it seems worst
And all I ever wanted
Is to be a better man
And I try to keep it real
With my homies man
For me to save the world,
I don't understand
How did I become the leader
Of a billion fans
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 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'd go to church on Easter Sunday
(With you)
Instead of y'all throwing them stones at me

Somebody pray for me
Oh, I wish that I could hold you now
(oh, I)
I wish that I could touch you now (oh, I)
I wish that I could talk to you
(talk to you)
Be with you somehow

(Still I know)

But I know you're in a better place
(In a better place)
Even though I can't see your face (oh, I)
I know you're smiling down on me (smilin')
Saying everything's okay

To all of my homies
I wish that I could hold you now (oh)
I wish that I could touch you now
(right now)
I wish that I could talk to you
(talk to you)
Be with you (be with you)
Somehow

(Somehow I know)
But I know you're in a better place (oh)
Even though I can't see your face
(See your face)
I know you're smiling down on me
(smilin')
Saying everything's okay

My mom, I'm at the crossroads
I wish that I could hold you now
(of my my, my, my, life)

I wish that I could talk to you
Come on and braid my hair

Come on and braid my hair

Come on and braid my hair

Come on and braid my hair

Come on and braid my hair,
My hair

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
