Scott Styles - Wishful Thinking lyrics

[Intro] Hood Nation n***a Thank God for the blessings Thank God for the message Beam me up Scotty [Verse 1] I'm nowhere near perfect I know I'm worth it Ball, without the jersey I know my purpose God, sent me a sign Can't keep it inside, I won't Peace in my soul and peace in my mind I keep a piece on my side, the devil's a rival Thinking of times I wonder if 2Pac was alive or Biggie Smalls It probably would be both of my dogs We'd be smoking on this spliff talking about amateurs, oh lord Damn, dog, that'd be a hell of a time Still praying for my people doing federal time n***as praying that we fall, but we destined to shine Sandra Bland was a victim of the system's demise Wish my granny was here to witness me flourish inside Eric Garner and many others mistakenly died All these police are k**ing us, it gets sweeped to the side Be the change you wanna see, it's up to you to decide [Hook] Man what if I could change the world? Put smiles on the faces of little boys and girls I say, now what if I could change the game? "Grammy Award winner" gets attached to my name What if I could do a song with Beyoncé? And Marvin Gaye sing a song to my fiancée I guess I'm wishful thinking Can't blame a man for dreaming [Verse 2] They say, to change the world, must change yourself I cannot complain, I'm blessed to d**h I got favor, favor, favor, favor sh** God is good, a boy is able, man I'm just trying to become legendary That's on my itinerary, at least before the cemetery Remember me like you remember Bob Marley Preaching you the truth in the booth cause I'm whole-hearted Riding in the coup and the roof is dearly departed Be the greatest ever the motive of when I started And it still is How the hell I get this big crib? I know they probably think I drug deal, most will Ace Hood is the biggest inspiration Let me be the reason you focus on education Let me show how you can grow through the meditation Let me use this gift that I got for some motivation [Hook] Man, what if I could change the world? I put smiles on the faces of little boys and girls I say, now what if I could change the game? "Grammy Award winner" gets attached to my name What if I could do a song with Beyoncé? And Marvin Gaye sung a song to my fiancée I guess I'm wishful thinking Can't blame a man for dreaming, though Get up, get up, get up, get up Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up Get up, get up, get up, get up Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up [Outro] Hood Nation What if I could change the world? What if I could change the world? Oh lord, what if I could change the game?
