EDO. G - Wishing lyrics

(feat. Masta Ace)

[Masta Ace]

Yeah, I wish the President would stop lyin'

Black babies would stop cryin'

And you brothers would stop dyin'

I wish the police would stop killin'

Politicans 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 shit figured out

And stop goin' the trigger route

And actin' all niggered out

On the block with the nine cocked

I wish we try and stop, stop pushin' for the prime box

I wish we wasn't so obsessed with death

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

[Edo G]

I wish my pops didn't die when I was seven years old

If there's life after death, is Heaven this cold?

I wish I could wipe the tears of all the cryin' mothers

Wish New York niggas 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, the world got 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 in the books (read on)

I wish God could take away the pain

I know you wanna call me insane

I'm a dreamer

[Edo G]

I wish I didn't get searched when I come through customs

I wish Christians stop beefin' with Muslims

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 III and try to off us

It won't cost them, but it will cost us

And right now, believe me, you lost us
