Yeah I could use a dream or a Jeanie or a wish
To go back to a place much simpler than this
'Cause after all the partyin' and smashin' and crashin'
And all the glitz and glam and the fashion
And all the pandemonium and all the madness
There comes a time when you fade to the blackness
And when you're starin at the phone in your lap
And you hopin' but them people never call you back

I know what it takes to move on
I know how it feels to lie
All I wanna do is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got

Yeah somebody take me back to the days
Before this was a job, before I got paid
Before it ever mattered what I had in my bank
Yeah back when I was trying to get into the subway
And back when I was rappin for the hell of it
But nowadays we rappin' to stay relevant
I'm guessing that if we could make some wishes out or
airplanes
Then maybe oh maybe I'd go back to the days
Before the politics that we call the rap game
And back when ain't nobody listened to my mix tape
And back before when I tried to cover up my slang
But this is for the Decatur what's up Bobby Ray
So can I get a wish to end the politics
And get back to the music that started this shit
So here I stand and then again I say
I'm hopin we can make some wishes outta airplanes

I know what it takes to move on
I know how it feels to lie
All I wanna do is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got

What was left
When that fire was gone
I thought it felt right
But that right was wrong
All caught up in the eye of the storm
And trying to figure out
What it's like moving on
And I don't even know
What kind of things I said
My mouth kept moving
And my mind went dead
So I'm picking up the pieces
Nowhere to begin
The hardest part of ending
Is starting again

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are
like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now, a wish right
now, a wish right now
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are
like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now, a wish right
now, a wish right now

All I wanna do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got

This is not the end
This is not the beginning
Just a voice like a riot
Rocking every revision
But you listen to the tone
And the violent rhythm
Even though the words sound steady
Something emptys within them

We say yeah

With fists flying up in the air
Like we're holding onto something
That's invisible there
Cause we're living at the mercy
Of the pain and the fear
Until we dead it
Forget it
Let it all disappear
