| [Intro] 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!) [Verse 1] Rolling through the hood, just stopped by to say what's up And let you know that your baby boy ain't doing so tough And even though you passed, going on four long years I'm still waking up late at night crying tears Just thinking about those days you used to talk to me Smiling while I'm sipping on this Hennessy And remember we bragged on how rich we would be To get up out this hood was like a fantasy [Pre-Chorus] And now you hear my songs the radio is playing Oh, I can't believe my ears and what everybody's saying 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 basement party joints we'd do Now I'm just missing you How I wish [Chorus] 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 smiling down on me Saying 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 [Verse 2] Now ever since this money come, ut's 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 shit gets heavy like a ton That's why you hear me shooting 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 players get a real player hating '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 [Pre-Chorus] And now you hear my songs the radio is playing Oh, I can't believe my ears and what everybody's saying 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 hoop off in them tournaments (With you) And how I used to club hop on weekends (With you) Your family called the morning of a tragic end Damn, my condolences [Chorus] 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 smiling down on me Saying 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 [Verse 3] 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 hearse When waking 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 land For me to save the world I don't understand How did I become the leader of a billion fans? [Pre-Chorus] And now you hear my songs the radio is playing Oh, I can't believe my ears and what everybody's saying 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 used to go to church on Easter Sunday (With you) Instead of you all throwing them stones at me Somebody pray for me [Chorus: Choir] 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 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 Even though I can't 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 Even though I can't 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 Even though I can't see your face |

| [Intro: R. Kelly] Yo what up, my nigga You know I was in the hood I just thought I'd stop by Holla at you for a minute Pour out a little liquor or something [Verse 1: R. Kelly] Nigga, we done been through a lot of shit together From running these streets to being down for whatever And now that you're gone I got a whole lot of shit to tell you Things I should've said way back when we was younger Remember when we used to roll hand in hand And now I'm tripping on how I really miss you, man And remember when you and me would say We'd get up out this hood and everything would be okay It's all good now (my nigga) We out the hood now (mmm) We had the same ideas, but not the same careers We shared the same old laugh, and now the same tears You were my homie, my sconey, my Roni My nigga and never placed no bitch before me Man, I swear to God I love you for that shit Why'd you have to get hit Where was I, what time was it You were supposed to get older with me On stage, hands on shoulders with me Copping them Range Rovers with me Sitting on thangs and smoking trees And if it wasn't for the will that God had made I'd turn back the hands of time and take your place Sitting here sipping on this Hennessy Just thinking about how much you meant to me (my nigga) Even when you're gone you will always be my nigga Though you made it home I'm still missing you, my nigga I'm feeling like the timing was wrong, my nigga I know you're smiling down saying carry on, my nigga Sometimes my nights can get long, my nigga Sometimes I feel God did me wrong, my nigga So I had to write a song, my nigga Just to let you know that you're still my nigga [Chorus: R. Kelly] I wish, I wish, I wish (oh I) I wish, I wish, I wish [Verse 2: R. Kelly] Little son is looking at me like, "Where's my daddy?" And your 13-year old daughter is mad 'cause she understands Promised your mama I'd take care of the family But she's so hurt, she turns away my helping hands Damn, I wish your ass was here, my nigga To grow that gray beard and smoke that cigar, my nigga And we would talk about you getting up out this game And you would tell me how it keeps calling you name (We used to ride-ride-ride) Never afraid to (die-die-die) But sometimes we (cry-cry-cry) Asking the Lord (why-why-why) They're tearing down these projects We were homies for like 20 thug years (say word) Sat in church and cried the same thug tears (say word) You remember when Vibe world premiered How we used to share the same old gear And remember when you and me would say We'd get up out this hood and everything would be okay (It's all good now) my nigga We out the hood now It's so easy for folks to say, "Rob, just live on" When I'm dying every second that you're gone Nevertheless I try my best to be strong Hoping you said your prayers before you went on home We done stood on these blocks and just shot the breeze We'd slap box dead in the middle of streets And if a fight broke out, you would take up for me You're all I have left of these ghetto memories [Chorus: R. Kelly] I wish, I wish, I wish (oh I) I wish, I wish, I wish [Verse 3: Boo & (R. Kelly)] Uh, uh, yo dog, I can't explain how I miss you We stayed together, copping 'caine, popping pistols I miss you most Putting the doo rag over your bean head Even out the hood on the scene you brag (whoa) Coming up off the fiends for bags Running up out the cleanest Jag You was the closest nigga I had Look how we stayed aces Hustled, made big faces (faces) I wish we could trade places (places) Fuck giving you ice, I'd rather give you life And the things that I had, I'd give you twice (oh yeah) [Verse 4: Gotti & (R. Kelly)] So what the deal, my nigga, I know you holding it down If you could see me you would say I'm talking soft right now (ooh) But it's hard for me to say when I'ma see you again And I know it's fucked up, I gotta talk through this pen (ooh, ooh) But you died for the love of the dough The love of the block, 16 you was running the spot (spot) Boy, your mama used to hate how we stood on the curb Hanging with wild thug niggas, smoking the herb (Mmm, hmm, hmm) I'ma keep pouring this liquor and that's my word This here is for my niggas that be flipping them birds (Oh) Word up! [Outro: R. Kelly] Even though you're gone you will always be my nigga (Whoa…whoa…oh…oh..oh…why…) Never made it home I’m still missing you, my nigga I'm feeling like the timing was wrong, my nigga (I'm feeling like the timing was wrong ) Know you're smiling down saying carry on, my nigga Radio, please don’t take the nigga out this song Let it play on, play on, play on, play on, play on…whoa…oh Sometimes my nights can get long, my nigga Sometimes I feel God did me wrong, my nigga So I had to write a song, my nigga Just to let you know that you’re still, my nigga Yo we miss you nigga, we love you, nigga (for life, nigga) We’ll never let you go, baby, we gon always remember (Rest In Peace) Chitown wherever Boo, word up, we love you |
