R. Kelly - I Wish Lyrics

Send "I Wish" ringtone to your cell

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

Rollin' through the hood just stopped by to say what's up?

And let you know your baby boy ain't doin' so tough

Even though you passed goin' on four long years

Still wakin' up late at night cryin' tears

Just thinkin' about those days you used to talk to me

Smilin' while I'm sippin' on this Hennessey

And remember we'd brag on how rich we would be

To get out this hood was like a fantasy

And now you hear my songs the radio is playin'

Oh I can't believe my ears

And what everybody is sayin'

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 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 I know you're in a better place

Even though I can't see your face

I know you're smilin' down on me

Sayin' everything's okay

And if I make it out this thug life

See you again someday

I wish I wish I wish

I wish I wish I wish

Ever since this money come it's been nothing but stress

Sometimes I wish that 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 shootin' this real shit off like a gun

I wonder how my friends would treat me now

If I was 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 hatin 'em

'Honey Love' goes platinum and y'all ass come round

But y'all don't wanna raise the roof until my shit is goin' down

And now you hear my songs the radio is playin'

Oh I can't believe my ears

And what everybody is sayin'

Boy I tell you folks don't know the half

I would give it all up just to take one ride

With you

And how I used to hoop off in them to 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

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 smilin' down on me

Sayin' everything's okay

And if I make it out this thug life

See you again someday

I wish I wish I wish

I wish I wish I wish

Voices in my head been tellin' me to come to church

Say the Lord is the only way for you to stop the hurt

Dreamin' of windows black-tinted like a hearse

But wakin' 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 man

Want 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 playin'

Oh I can't believe my ears

And what everybody's sayin'

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 throwin' them stones at me

Somebody pray for me

Oh 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 smilin' down on me

Sayin' everything's okay

Oh 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 smilin' down on me

Sayin' everything's okay

Oh 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 smilin' down on me

Sayin' everything's okay

Oh 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
