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
  Good Ol' America!
  
  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
  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 Hennesy
  And remember we bragged on how rich we would be
  To get up out this hood was like a fantasy
  
  [1] - 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
  
  (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 days and party joints we'd do
  Now I'm just missing you
  How I wish
  
  [2] - 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
  
  [Repeat 1]
  
  (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 condolensces
  
  [Repeat 2]
  
  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?
  
  [Repeat 1]
  
  (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)
  Standing here throwing them songs at me
  Somebody pray for me
  
  [Repeat 2 till end]
