I wish the way I was living could stop,
serving rocks
Knowing the cops is hot
when I'm on the block, and I
Wish my brother would of made bail,
So I won't have to
travel 6 hours to see him in jail, and I
Wish that my grandmother wasn't sick
Or that we would just come up
on some stacks and hit a lick, and I
Wish my homies
wouldn't have to suffer
When the streets get the upper hand on us
and we lose a brother, and I
Wish I could go deep in a zone
And lift the spirits of the world
with the words with in this song, and I
Wish I could teach a soul to fly
Take away the pain out your hands
and help you hold them high, and I
Wish my homie Butch was still alive
And on the day of his death
we had never took that ride, and I
Wish the God
could protect us from the wrong
So that all the soldiers
that were sent over seas come home and, uh,
We will never break, though they devastate,
we shall motivate
And we gotta pray, all we got is faith
Instead of thinking about
who gonna die today
The Lord is gonna help you feel better,
so you ain’t gotta cry today
Sit at the light so long
And then we gotta move straight forward,
cause we fight so strong
So when right go wrong
Just say a little prayer,
get ya money man, life..
cause we hopeful
I wish that you could show some love
Instead of hating so much
when you see some other people coming up
I wish I could teach the world to sing
Watch the music
and have ‘em tripping off the joy I bring
I wish that we can hold hands
Listen instead of dissing lessons
from a grown man, and I
Wish the families that lack,
but got love, get some stacks
Brand new shack and a lack that’s on dubs,
and I
Wish we could keep achieving wonders,
See the vision of the world
through the eyes of Stevie Wonder, you feel
And I hope all the the kids eat
And don’t nobody in my family see six feet,
(ya dig)
I hope them mothers stain’ strong
You can make it whether you wit him
or your mans gone, and I
Wish I could give every celly
some commissary
And the po po bring the heat
on them priest like they did R. Kelly, and I
Wish that DOC could scream again
And bullets could reverse so Pac
and Biggie breath again
(I wish) Then one day they could speak again
I wish that we only saw good news
every time we look at CNN
I wish we could never get the blues
Wish I could bring back the people
that died at E2
I wish that we could walk a path,
stay doing the right thing
Hustle hard so the kids maintain up
cause we hopeful
Wish the earth wasn’t so apocalyptic
I try to spread my message to the world
the best way that I can give it
We can make it, always be optimistic
If you don’t listen gotta live my life
the best way that I can live it
I pray for justice when we go to court
Wish it was all good
so the country never even went to war
Why can’t we kick it and just get em on
And in the famous words of Mr. King
“Why can’t we all just get along"
Or we can find a better way to shop
and please, And I
Hope we find a better way
to cop a keys, and I
Wish everybody would just stop and freeze
And ask why are we fulfilling these downfalls
and these prophecies
You can be wrong if it’s you doubting
With the faith of a mustard seed
you can move mountains
And only the heavenly father can
ease the hurt
Just let it go and keep praying
on your knees at church!
Faith Evans
