R. Kelly - I Wish

I wish I wish I wish
To every city
I wish I wish I wish
Every hood
I wish I wish I wish
I wish I wish I wish
Rollin through the hood
Just stopped by to say what's up
Came to let you know
That your baby boy
ain't doing so tough
And even though you passed
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 Hennesy
And remember we bragged 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 you
Folks don't know the half
I would give it all up
Just to take one ride
now 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 days
and 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
And you know I can see your face
I know you're smiling down on me
Saying everything's okay
And if I never leave 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 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 shootin
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 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 shit is going down
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 you
Folks don't know the half
I would give it all up
Just to take one ride
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 condolensces
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
And you know I can see your face
I know you're smiling down on me
Saying everything's okay

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 seems worst
And all I ever wanted
is to be a better man
And I try to keep it real
with my homies now
For me to save the world
I don't understand
How did I become the leader
of a billion men
Oh I can't believe my ears
And what everybody's sayin
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 go to church
on Easter Sunday
With you
Standing here throwing
them songs at me
Somebody pray for me
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
And you know I can 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
And you know I can 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
And you know I can see your face
I know you're smiling down on me
Saying everything's okay
