Oddisee - I Wish lyrics

I Wish G.O. (Verse 1) I Wish this game wasn't so centralized in money Sex cars and d** has invited in all the dummies Culture vultures scavenging molding rap like its putty To a money hungry b**h that's Tryna take everything from me I Wish the muthaf**in truth came out Cuz there a questions I want answered on some few thing out Like how the hell can you spot an object lightyears away But lack tools to find a missing plane at this day and age I Wish we could erase the hate with love Live in a world where we ain't taking blood From the innocent due to religious beliefs and political differences Will it end with the Israelis and the Palestinians I wish to get out this middle cla** society I wish to get my family in Colombia out of poverty I wish that one day I can say I over came my struggles While no one hoped I saw the light through the tunnel G.O. (Hook) I Wish for the good in life Tryna turn my wrongs to right From dark to bright Before I blow the candle light I look up and then i close my eyes And say one day I Wish I move along for the better Move along towards forever Knowing the day that my soul decides to leave from me I left a mark that'll always be I Wish Oddisee (Verse 2) Fly stones say wishful thinking can be the ending Long as it's linked to imagination I keep defending And keep pretending we live in a world where all can make it I often think if we lived the war we be walking naked You see the wish is a cloth and the cloth is a tool And you can fix it to solve or you can floss it to food Very small is the difference but my intentions is stitching If not involved in the details the [?] To fall apart at the purchase anything worth it you make it You break it you buy it long as you trying all can improve And I'm a testament to business with sk**s I use to hope for all the best now all the best is the drill I know the deal like we were neighbors I go knocking for favors You crack the door like back for more I'm here to visit so chill To talk politics and making mills happen from scratch Main ingredient to this dish is a wish imagine that G.O. (Hook) I Wish for the good in life Tryna turn my wrongs to right From dark to bright Before I blow the candle light I look up and then i close my eyes And say one day I Wish I move along for the better Move along towards forever Knowing the day that my soul decides to leave from me I left a mark that'll always be I Wish Fashawn (Verse 3) I wish I can lead my people in a different direction I wish Hilary don't win the election I wish for bigger investments, unlimited blessings I remember for how genuine when I've kept it The listeners I've effected I Wish I didn't need a escape I never end up property of the state For the streets to be safe from DC to CA Wish I ain't have to had this heat on my waist Bringin seeds to the hate I Wish I had a genie in a bottle a bikini model To feed me when I'm feeling hollow what do I know I wish my pride was easier to swallow I hit the lotto when these demons wouldn't follow I Wish I had something besides these memories To resurrect me something besides this hennessy To rewind one day I'll find serenity Peace of mind, a sign or some kind of [?] G.O. (Hook) I Wish for the good in life Tryna turn my wrongs to right From dark to bright Before I blow the candle light I look up and then i close my eyes And say one day I Wish I move along for the better Move along towards forever Knowing the day that my soul decides to leave from me I left a mark that'll always be I Wish
