(Wish that I)
(Wish that I)
(Wish that I)
Yeah, wish that I
(Wish that I) yeah
Didn't have to wish at all
But life hits you hard, back against the wall
Ain't no wishing on a star
We was adolescents wishing for foreign cars
To roll through the gutter like bowling balls, just showing off
Slow down, slow down
Could slow down this fast life, handles on the breaks
Perfectly trying to handle your mistakes, same (same)
Wishing with no candles, no cake, flame
(Wish that I)
Had stress relieved
Wish the loved ones that was lost had more breaths to breathe
Wish we didn't speak another (utter)
Have to utter another rest in peace, nah
(Wish that I) wish that I
Have to be the one to always keep it together like stitches
My shoulders where my chip is, my soul's where I go for riches
'Cause ain't no genie in a bottle taking wishes
(Wish that I)
Wish that I
New Tigalo, new Tigalo, new Tigalo
Yo, I was six years old, she was a neighbor
Who said, "Come here and do me a favor, a kiss I gave her"
Lips filled with the artificial flavors of candy that we shared
Cherry Now and Laters made our tongues red
But so many things went unsaid
'Cause if my mama found out she would annihilate us
Confused and aroused by her misbehavior
No one to talk, nowhere to turn, so I put pen to paper
How can a bad touch feel good?
How do we make amends when we use one another?
Call me a friend then abuse one another
Not powerless, the cowardice of you motherfuckers
To leave me all alone with new feelings I'm confronted with
Was mindin' my own and I ain't ask for none of this but
With some acknowledgement I coulda got in front of it
To keep my wife and kids from bearing the brunt of it
There's gotta be a path to healing and revealing
All the feelings of shame that's been dividing me in half
