B.o.B - Airplanes (Part II) Lyrics






[Hayley Williams:]
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

Dreaming of falling
Dreaming of falling

[B.o.B:]
(Ya) Ya let's pretend like it's '98 (98)
Like I'm eating lunch off of Styrofoam trays (ya)
Trying to be the next rapper coming out the A (A-town)
Hoping for a record deal to ignore my pain (yeah)
Now let's pretend like I'm on a stage (stage)
And when my beat drops everybody goes insane (woo)
Okay
And everybody know my name (Bob)
And everywhere I go people wanna hear me sing (oh)
Oh yeah and I just dropped my new album
On the first week I did Five-Hundred Thousand (yes)
Gold in the spring and diamond in the fall (okay)
And then a world tour just to top it all off (ah)
And let's pretend like they called me the greatest (yap)
Selling out arenas with big ass stages (ow)
And everybody loved me and no one ever hated (mmhm)
Just try to use imagination

[Hayley Williams:]
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

Okay let's pretend like this never happened (never)
Like I never had dreams of being a rapper (rapper)
Like I didn't write raps up in all of my classes (classes)
Like I never used to run away into the blackness (now)
Now let's pretend like it was all good (good)
Like I didn't live staring in a notebook (notebook)
Like I did the things that I probably knew I should (should)
But I ain't have neighbours that's why they call it hood (yeah)
Now let's pretend like I ain't got a name (nah)
Before they ever call me BOB aka Bobby Ray (Ray)
I'm talking back before the mix-tapes (laugh at)
Before the videos and the deals and the fame (yeah)
Before they ever once (oh oh) compared me to Andre
Before I ever got on myspace (yeah)
Before they ever noticed my face (yeah)
So let's just pretend and make wishes out of airplanes

[Hayley Williams:]
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

And it seems like yesterday (day) it was just a dream
But those days are gone (gone) they're just memories
(Oh oh)
And it seems like yesterday (day) it was just a dream
But those days are gone (gone)

[Eminem:]
Alright let's pretend Marshall Mathers never picked up a pen
Let's pretend things would have been no different
Pretend he procrastinated, had no motivation
Pretend he just made excuses that were so paper thin they could blow away with the wind
Marshall, you're never gonna make it makes no sense to play the game there ain't no way that you'll win
Pretend he just stayed outside all day and played with his friends
Pretend he even had a friend to say was his friend
And it wasn't time to move and schools weren't changing again
He wasn't socially awkward and just strange as a kid
He had a father and his mother wasn't crazy as shit
And he never dreamed he could rip stadiums and just lazy as shit
Fuck a talent show in a gymnasium, bitch, you won't amount to shit quit daydreaming kid
You need to get your cranium checked you thinking like an alien and just ain't realistic
Now pretend they ain't just make him angry with this shit
And there was no one he could even aim when he's pissed it
And his alarm went off to wake him but he didn't make it to the Rap Olympics
Slept through his plane and he missed it
He's gon' have a hard time explaining to Hailie and Lainie these food stamps and this WIC shit
'Cause he never risked shit he hoped and he wished it but it didn't fall in his lap so he ain't even here
He pretends that

[Hayley Williams:]
Airplanes in the night sky 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

  1. W.... M....

    Who else only came for the Eminem ft

  2. A.... ....

    What a masterpiece. This fits my mindset so perfectly. Mans greatest burden is unfulfilled potential. What if you listened to everybody who told you it wasnt possible. What if you never just tried ? What if you never put your divine gift to use. The universe needs all of our best selfs, this is true greatness. GOATS

  3. L.... C....

    is it just me or did B.o.B keep up with Eminem?, I feel like Eminem didn't completely steal the show. The entire song is a masterpiece.

  4. K.... M....

    That part where you here em singing the chorus before he goes in is perfect.

  5. M.... M....

    First heard this on the radio a few weeks ago. How did I not know about this??

  6. S.... D....

    2010 my sophomore year in high school:/

  7. 1.... ....

    Kevin gates should have been on this

  8. M.... S....

  11. b.... c....

    2019 vibes

  12. C.... S....

    Time travel goes both ways fights in the past for the core of ways of being more together we may be in war Struggling in the rows loud n proud of being untamed triggers for the traps my maps are hits ding dong ditch kicking the can in the driveway of black friends being in the way of being a med bet u wouldn't of figured it our with out the subscription being unprotected by the gods u know worshiping the only guys who know me well enough to pull me home

  13. a.... s....

    This was a great song until 3:14






    Then it became LEGENDARY!

  14. A.... D....

    its been 10 years

  15. D.... R....

    On a nostalgia trip to end the decade...

  16. W.... H....

    Getting excited asf when you heard this come on the radio then turning to another station once you realise its not the version with eminem on it

    EM its best than 2pac

  26. J.... M....

    Imagine if Em never picked up a pen. He has helped many people including myself

  27. M.... D....

    Weird that B.O.B. would waste ALL that money on an Em feature just to not release it as the single. Guessing he pussied out because Em swore too much & the radio would butcher the verse.

  28. S.... R....

    Thank god Marshall Mathers picked up a pen.

  29. L.... C....

    how still listens in 2019

  30. R.... ....

    3:11 best transition ever imo it beats homicides transition

  31. f.... ....

  33. C.... H....

  35. S.... ....

    "Lets pretend, Marshall Mathers never picked up a pen" Hell no. You either eat it all or cut the crust off. Not the other way round.

  36. K.... G....

    Can we pretend that airplanes
    In the night sky
    Is like shooting stars
    I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)

  37. m.... m....

  40. V.... R....

    V.... R....

    Vivek Rana meee

    V.... R....

    Homey Gaber yo

    V.... R....

    dumb ass mufuckaaa''''''''''''' its called songs

  41. M.... R....

    April 2018 Eminem Video ☝️

  42. M.... ....

    When we was listening to this song in my chemistry class. When eminem verse came on the teacher changed I was like aww man.

  43. R.... T....

    Right before the end of the decade

  44. r.... t....

    Let's pretend America was at its prime time and eminem was president. . .till I die

  45. K.... S....

    Ems music will always give me a feeling of happniess and sadness at the same time. I remember listening em as a kid now im sad because when I was a kid I just liked the music because my dad walked out on me as a kid. But now I dont just like the lyrics. I understand them. And that's what makes me sad.

  46. K.... S....

    Why am I just discovering this version in 2019?? This is way better than the original!

    K.... S....

    Yp i also found this one in jan ...same way im shocked

  47. A.... L....

    This song is trash without marshall

  48. M.... N....

    I love this song it is my favorite and I listen to this when i am sad and I need a friend please im so lonely this song is my only escape from reality and it makes me feel like superman or spiderman please someone talk to me i am crying on the inside

  49. Z.... I....

    I searched this cause of EM

  50. H.... P....

    In a song about dreaming, wishing and the isolation of hard life, the lines that hit hardest are "but I ain't have neighbors, that's why they call it hood" and "Fuck a talent show in the gymnasium bitch. You won't amount to shit, quit daydreaming kid. You need to get your cranium checked, you're thinking like an alien it just ain't realistic." because it's what too many people from all walks of life get told and inevitably believe. From social status to unsupportive environments and even family, it's far too easy for anyone to fall victim to their influence on accomplishing even the smallest steps to happiness.

    That is what makes the most impact in this track. Not the hope of motivation, but the fear that in reality, it's a world devoid of hope and that the ones who tell you to quit are right.

  51. J.... B....

    Only OG people know about this version.

  52. s.... ....

    Who the fuck compared him to andre

  53. K.... K....

    Pretend he never robbed a 5 year old for some other lazy fuckboys

    Are like shooting stars
    I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)

    Let's pretend like its '98
    Like I'm eating lunch off of Styrofoam trays

    Hoping for a record deal, to re-know my pain
    Now let's pretend like I'm on the stage
    And when my beat drops everybody goes insane (ok)
    And everybody know my name (B.o.B)
    And everywhere I go people wanna hear me sang
    Oh yea and I just dropped my new album
    On the first week I did five hundred thousand
    Gold in the spring and diamond in the fall
    And then a world tour just to top it all off
    And let's pretend like they call me the greatest
    Selling out arenas with big ass stages

    Okay, let's pretend like this never happened

    Like I didn't write raps in all of my classes
    Like I never used to runaway into the blackness
    Now let's pretend like it was all-good
    Like I didn't live starring in a notebook
    Like I did the things I probably knew I should
    But I didn't have neighbors that's why they call it hood
    Now let's pretend like I ain't got a name
    Before they ever called me B.o.B or a.k.a Bobby Ray
    I'm talking back before the mixtapes
    Before the videos and the deals and the fame
    Before they ever once compared me to Andre
    Before I ever got Myspace
    Before they ever noticed my face
    So let's just pretend and make wishes out of airplanes

    Can we pretend that airplanes
    In the night sky
    Is 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
