Wishing Lyrics - Singles - Ed O.g

(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 killin' 

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 shit figured out 

And stop goin' the trigger route 

And actin' all niggered out 

On the block with the nine cocked 

I wish we'd 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 (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, 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 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 3 and try to off us 

It won't cost them, But it'll cost us 

And right now, believe me, you lost us
