Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky 00:09
Are like shooting stars? 00:12
I could really use a wish right now 00:14
Wish right now, wish right now 00:16
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky 00:19
Are like shooting stars? 00:22
I could really use a wish right now 00:24
Wish right now, wish right now 00:27
Yeah 00:30
I could use a dream or a genie or a wish 00:31
To go back to a place much simpler than this 00:33
'Cause after all the partying and smashing and crashing 00:36
And all the glitz and the glam and the fashion 00:38
And all the pandemonium and all the madness 00:41
There comes a time when you fade to the blackness 00:43
And when you're starin' at the phone in your lap 00:46
And you hoping, but them people never call you back 00:48
But that's just how the story unfolds 00:52
You get another hand soon after you fold 00:54
And when your plans unravel in the sand 00:57
What would you wish for if you had one chance? 00:59
So airplane, airplane, sorry I'm late 01:02
I'm on my way, so don't close that gate 01:04
If I don't make that, then I'll switch my flight 01:07
And I'll be right back at it by the end of the night 01:09
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky 01:11
Are like shooting stars? (Shooting stars) 01:14
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now) 01:16
Wish right now (wish right now), wish right now (wish right now) 01:18
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky 01:21
Are like shooting stars? (Shooting stars) 01:24
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now) 01:26
Wish right now (wish right now), wish right now (wish right now) 01:28
Yeah, yeah 01:31
Somebody take me back to the days 01:32
Before this was a job 01:34
Before I got paid 01:35
Before it ever mattered what I had in my bank 01:37
Yeah, back when I was trying to get into the subway 01:39
And back when I was rapping for the hell of it 01:42
But nowadays, we rapping to stay relevant 01:44
I'm guessing that if we could make some wishes out of airplanes 01:47
Then maybe, oh, maybe, I'd go back to the days 01:50
Before the politics that we call the rap game 01:52
And back when ain't nobody listened to my mixtape 01:55
And back before when I tried to cover up my slang 01:58
But this is for the Decatur, what's up Bobby Ray? 02:00
So can I get a wish to end the politics 02:03
And get back to the music that started this shit? 02:05
So here I stand and then, again, I say 02:08
I'm hoping we can make some wishes outta airplanes 02:10
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky 02:13
Are like shooting stars? (Shooting stars) 02:16
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now) 02:18
Wish right now (wish right now), wish right now (wish right now) 02:20
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky 02:23
Are like shooting stars? (Shooting stars) 02:26
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now) 02:28
Wish right now (wish right now), wish right now (wish right now) 02:31
I could really use a wish right now (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) 02:35
I, I, I could really use a wish right now (right now, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm) 02:38
Like, like, like shooting stars (like shooting stars, ah, ah, ah, hah, ah, hah, ah, ah, ah) 02:44
I, I, I, I could really use a wish right now (right now) 02:48

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky

Are like shooting stars?

I could really use a wish right now

Wish right now, wish right now

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky

Are like shooting stars?

I could really use a wish right now

Wish right now, wish right now

Yeah

I could use a dream or a genie or a wish

To go back to a place much simpler than this

'Cause after all the partying and smashing and crashing

And all the glitz and the 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 hoping, but them people never call you back

But that's just how the story unfolds

You get another hand soon after you fold

And when your plans unravel in the sand

What would you wish for if you had one chance?

So airplane, airplane, sorry I'm late

I'm on my way, so don't close that gate

If I don't make that, then I'll switch my flight

And I'll be right back at it by the end of the night

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky

Are like shooting stars? (Shooting stars)

I could really use a wish right now (wish right now)

Wish right now (wish right now), wish right now (wish right now)

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky

Are like shooting stars? (Shooting stars)

I could really use a wish right now (wish right now)

Wish right now (wish right now), wish right now (wish right now)

Yeah, 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 rapping for the hell of it

But nowadays, we rapping to stay relevant

I'm guessing that if we could make some wishes out of 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 mixtape

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 hoping we can make some wishes outta airplanes

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky

Are like shooting stars? (Shooting stars)

I could really use a wish right now (wish right now)

Wish right now (wish right now), wish right now (wish right now)

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky

Are like shooting stars? (Shooting stars)

I could really use a wish right now (wish right now)

Wish right now (wish right now), wish right now (wish right now)

I could really use a wish right now (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

I, I, I could really use a wish right now (right now, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm)

Like, like, like shooting stars (like shooting stars, ah, ah, ah, hah, ah, hah, ah, ah, ah)

I, I, I, I could really use a wish right now (right now)

A wish, a wish right now (a wish right now)
