Ed O.G - Wishing lyrics
(Masta Ace) Yeah I wish the president would stop lyin' Black babies would stop cryin' And young brothas would stop dying' I wish the police would stop k**in' Politicians'll stop stealin' and actin' like they not dealin' When they know they got bricks on the street At the country club fixin' to eat I can see 'em now I wish we'd get this sh** figured out And stop goin' the trigger route And actin' all n******ged out On the block with the nine co*ked I wish we'd try and stop Stop pushin' for the prime box I wish we wasn't so obsessed with d**h Tell me, is it cuz we blessed with less? I don't know really I wish the world was safer I'm scared to travel abroad That's why, I travel with the lord I wish a cab would stop for me in the rain I know you wanna call me insane I'm a dreamer (I'm a dreamer) (Edo G) I wish my pops didn't die when I was seven years old If there's life after d**h, Is heaven this cold? I wish I could wipe the tears of all the cryin' mothers Wish New York n***as didn't start flyin' colors I wish my people stop avoidin' the truth BET stop poisonin' youth We need changes for teenagers As they go through phases More than just a concrete jungle, A world with green acres I wish I'd been more diligent Smart cats rhyme militant The fresh rhyme ignorant I wish the world didn't give us funny looks Think we all just dummies and crooks Athletes and entertainers singin' hooks We need more black babies that's into books (Read on) I wish God could take away the pain I know you wanna call me insane I'm a dreamer (I'm a dreamer) (Masta Ace) I wish I didn't get searched when I come through customs I wish Christians stop beefin' with m**ms Wish the poor didn't have to take welfare Wish America had universal health care Cuz ain't no help here In a country where we don't fight fair The American Dream becomes a nightmare It's all hype here And on this track, Bust all I might bear I wish Bush just get out of office (Get out!) Before he start World War 3 and try to off us It won't cost them, But it'll cost us And right now, believe me, you lost us
