(I wish, I wish, I wish) Duh, duh, no Uh, uh, uh (I wish, I wish, I ) Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh (I wish, I wish, I wish)
Uh (I wish, I wish, I everything´s okay)
And I was so lost for words, couldn´t even cry up at your funeral I come from that corner where the hustlers trap and shooters shoot Straight-eights and Scat Packs, they ain´t slidin´ in no Subaru Turn you to a savage, what them hard times´ll do to you All my homies died young, smokin´ ´til my mind numb Steppin´ like a marchin´ band, might hit they block with nine drums Took a lot of losses right where me and all my guys hung Opps talkin´ shit, that left my pride stung, uh
I wish that I could hold you tight, uh (I wish, I wish, I wish) I´m grippin´ on this pole tonight, uh (I wish, I wish, I ) I´m connected to your soul tonight (I wish, I wish, I wish) Hopin´ everything´s okay (I wish, I wish, I )
Uh, Tim-Tim was my brother, we was suitin´ up for graduation I saw twin ´nem in them caskets, told myself, "I gotta make it" Makin´ moves and stackin´ payments, SRTs in traffic racin´ Was most happy back in the day, it seem like now I´m tryna fake it (I wish, I )
Twenty deep with all my cousins, tweakin´ in my granny basement Hot nights in the summertime with no sheet on that mattress bakin´ Now we let them choppers beat, I swear I love that kind of cadence Money huntin´, no time for waitin´, fifty M´s, I´m tryna chase it ´Member wasn´t no care at all, runnin´ through them projects Why they ain´t show the same love when I ain´t beat the odds yet? Masked up with no gloves, we send his ass where God at We took over for the block, was fearless on that conquest All I gotta say is go, now watch how all my soldiers ride
Treat him like he Tre, gon´ let him out if he don´t wanna slide Shots hit him, was still in shock, that´s why he left with open eyes I´m from the trenches, deep up in that grass where all the cobras hide
I wish that I could hold you tight, uh (I wish, I wish, I wish) I´m grippin´ on this pole tonight, uh (I wish, I wish, I ) I´m connected to your soul tonight (I wish, I wish, I wish) Hopin´ everything´s okay (I wish, I wish, I )
Wish I could be with you somehow
Can´t put my gun down ´cause I´m the one now Mama, I´m my brother´s keeper, I won´t let your son drown Always fightin´ with the reaper like I keep some gloves ´round, uh (I wish, I ) I´m takin´ drugs until I´m incoherent, loved ones steady disappearin´ But for you, know I´m forever thuggin´, I can feel your spirit Racin´ to the finish line, look up and I can hear ´em cheerin´ For feelings that I lost to gang, the only thing I´m still endearin´
I wish that I could hold you tight, uh (I wish, I wish, I wish) I´m grippin´ on this pole tonight, uh (I wish, I wish, I )
I´m connected to your soul tonight (I wish, I wish, I wish) Hopin´ everything´s okay (I wish, I )
(I wish, I wish, I wish) And if I make it out this thug I´ll see you again some day (I wish, I wish, I ) (I wish, I wish, I wish) Everything´s okay (I wish, I wish, I ) (I wish, I wish, I wish) (I wish, I wish, I ) (I wish, I wish, I wish) (I wish, I wish)
