[00:00.00]R Kelly - I Wish - DJ Antalive
[00:01.69]I wish I wish I wish
[00:03.63]To every city
[00:04.49]I wish I wish I wish
[00:06.63]Every hood
[00:07.49]I wish I wish I wish
[00:09.33]And every block
[00:10.42]I wish I wish I wish
[00:12.60]Ghetto America
[00:13.02]Rollin' through the hood
[00:13.83]Just stopped by to say what's up
[00:15.65]And let you know
[00:16.46]That your baby boy ain't doing so tough
[00:19.00]And even though you passed
[00:20.21]Going on four long years
[00:21.96]Still waking up late at night crying tears
[00:25.43]Just thinking about those days
[00:26.95]You used to talk to me
[00:28.62]Smilin' while I'm sippin' on this Hennesy
[00:31.45]And remember we bragged on how rich we would be
[00:34.59]To get up out this hood was like a fantasy
[00:37.17]And now you hear my songs the radio is playin'
[00:39.72]Oh I can't believe my ears
[00:41.13]And what everybody's sayin'
[00:43.66]And boy I'll tell you
[00:44.75]Folks don't know the half
[00:46.10]I would give it all up
[00:47.55]Just to take one ride
[00:49.14](With you)
[00:49.97]How I used to kick it on the front porch
[00:52.34](With you)
[00:52.99]And how I used to lay back and smoke w**d
[00:55.21](With you)
[00:55.81]And all the little basement party joints we'd do
[00:58.80]Now I'm just missing you
[01:00.86]How I wish
[01:01.93]I wish that I could hold you now
[01:05.14]I wish that I could touch you now
[01:07.95]I wish that I could talk to you
[01:10.20]Be with you somehow
[01:12.89]I know you're in a better place
[01:16.84]Even though I can't see your face
[01:20.27]I know you're smiling down on me
[01:21.98]Saying everything's okay
[01:26.51]
[01:28.12]And if I make it out this thug life
[01:30.11]I'll see you again someday
[01:32.75]I wish I wish I wish
[01:35.63]I wish I wish I wish
[01:37.61]Now ever since this money come
[01:39.08]Been nothing but stress
[01:40.81]Sometimes I wish I could trade in my success
[01:44.05]Y'all look at me and say boy you've been blessed
[01:46.93]But y'all don't see the inside of my unhappiness
[01:50.07]Man I swear this sh*t gets heavy like a ton
[01:52.65]That's why you hear me shootin'
[01:54.09]This real sh*t off like a gun
[01:56.19]Hmm I wonder how my friends would treat me now
[01:58.85]If I wasn't iced up with a Bentley and a house
[02:01.71]That's why fake a** niggas get fake a** digits
[02:04.47]
[02:05.43]And fake a** players get a real player hatin' 'em
[02:08.25]Honey Love goes platinum and y'all a** come around
[02:11.22]But y'all don't wanna raise the roof
[02:12.80]Until my sh*t is going down
[02:14.43]And now you hear my songs the radio is playin'
[02:16.84]Oh I can't believe my ears
[02:18.38]And what everybody's sayin'
[02:20.84]And boy I'll tell you
[02:21.90]Folks don't know the half
[02:23.16]I would give it all up
[02:24.61]Just to take one ride
[02:26.28](With you)
[02:26.97]How I used to hoop off in them tournaments
[02:29.33](With you)

[03:12.73]I wish I wish I wish
[03:15.33]Voices in my head be telling me to come to church
[03:18.05]Saying the Lord is the only way for you to stop the hurt
[03:21.05]Dreaming of windows black tinted like a hearse
[03:24.38]When waking up to life sometimes seems worst
[03:27.92]And all I ever wanted is to be a better man
[03:31.07]And I try to keep it real with my homies land
[03:34.30]For me to save the world I don't understand
[03:37.11]How did I become the leader of a billion fans
