R Kelly - I Wish Lyrics






I wish, I wish, I wish
To every city
I wish, I wish, I wish
Every hood
I wish, I wish, I wish
And every block
I wish, I wish, I wish
Ghetto America!

Rollin' through the hood
Just stopped by to say what's up
And let you know
That your baby boy ain't doing so tough
And even though you passed
Going on four long years
Still waking up late at night crying tears
Just thinking about those days
You used to talk to me
Smilin' while I'm sippin' on this Hennesy
And remember we bragged on how rich we would be
To get up out this hood was like a fantasy

[1]
And now you hear my songs the radio is playin'
Oh I can't believe my ears
And what everybody's sayin'
And boy I'll tell you
Folks don't know the half
I would give it all up
Just to take one ride

(With you)
How I used to kick it on the front porch
(With you)
And how I used to lay back and smoke weed
(With you)
And all the little basement party joints we'd do
Now I'm just missing you
How I wish

[2]
I wish that I could hold you now
I wish that I could touch you now
I wish that I could talk to you
Be with you somehow
I know you're in a better place
Even though I can't see your face
I know you're smiling down on me
Saying everything's okay
And if I make it out this thug life
I'll see you again someday
I wish, I wish, I wish
I wish, I wish, I wish

Now ever since this money come
Been nothing but stress
Sometimes I wish I could trade in my success
Y'all look at me and say boy you've been blessed
But y'all don't see the inside of my unhappiness
Man I swear this shit gets heavy like a ton
That's why you hear me shootin'
This real shit off like a gun
Hmm I wonder how my friends would treat me now
If I wasn't iced up with a Bentley and a house
That's why fake ass niggas get fake ass digits
And fake ass players get a real player hatin' 'em
Honey Love goes platinum and y'all ass come around
But y'all don't wanna raise the roof
Until my shit is going down

[Repeat 1]

(With you)
How I used to hoop off in them tournaments
(With you)
And how I used to club hop on weekends
(With you)
Your family called the morning of the tragic end
Damn, my condolensces

[Repeat 2]

Voices in my head be telling me to come to church
Saying the Lord is the only way for you to stop the hurt
Dreaming of windows black tinted like a hearse
When waking up to life sometimes seems worst
And all I ever wanted is to be a better man
And I try to keep it real with my homies land
For me to save the world I don't understand
How did I become the leader of a billion fans?

[Repeat 1]

(With you)
How I used to street perform on Friday
(With you)
And how I used to go to church on Easter Sunday
(With you)
Instead of you all throwing them stones at me
Somebody pray for me

[Repeat 2 till end]

R Kelly I Wish Comments
  1. T.... ....

    It's sad to say. But R. Kelly was rapping and singing the truth through all his music! 🤦🏽‍♂️

  2. M.... 1....

    You can not be all bad if you make music like this. God bless you Mr Kelly. Let the cleansing begin.

  3. A.... O....

    Damn. All the amazing music this man made and he can barely read? That’s amazing stuff. Wish his private wasn’t so damn messy because talent-wise he’s one of the best to ever do it.

  4. b.... w....

    Why did u have to it bro?

    b.... w....

    barren whyte me too! He could’ve been a true hero 😞💯!

  5. F.... C....

    He has a sickness. He was abused as a teen, so maybe he’s emulating what happened to himself. He lost his innocence as a teen, so maybe that’s why he was always attracted to teen girls? There’s something psychological to it. Either way, he should’ve gotten mental help a long time ago, but everyone was blinded by his talent and success as an R&B singer.

  6. G.... B....

    👑 KING OF SOUL (Sam Cooke)
    👑 KING OF FUNK (James Brown)
    👑 KING OF POP (Michael Jackson)
    👑 KING OF RAP (Tupac Shakur)
    👑 KING OF R&B (R. Kelly)

  7. J.... ....

    All jokes aside I wish R-Kelly coulda have made some better decisions in his private life because he had soo much talent.

  8. k.... a....

  12. J.... A....

    Now hate him to the core but y'all cain't say his music ain't the stuff, it's so easy for kids of my generation to dismiss his music cuz they didn't grow up on it, word is bond once you get this in yo system you cain't get it out

  13. J.... V....

    Despite the sex allegations,
    R. Kelly is a Genius!!!

  14. C.... B....

  28. D.... H....

    Dont compare the music and the man....We are all a vessel. We mean well ..,but all fall short of his glory. We can all go from the top to the bottom. It's all how we handle our blessings. I know I screwed mine up many times. We are all human, no excuses at what the devil throws at us and how we handle that,sum surpass some fail. Look at history. Everyone remembers the failure,but. nobody remembers the good and happy times that was spread around when times was good. When that tire needs new nobody wants to help get new treat, they just wanna ride in that new car. Good bye and God Bless.

  29. G.... C....

  39. T.... B....

    Say what you want...this man writes some of the most beautiful music ever heard...RIP Kobe, Gigi and the other folks that passed

  40. M.... N....

    Benji Wilson RIP, was surprised to find out R Kelly was a promising basketball player and was also Benjis teammate. As guilty as this man is in regards to his vile actions against the young women he has victimized and traumatised and I also feel it would be just that he face his karma like a man and take that lick, hes a severely flawed, burdened and damaged individual that has been letting the world know for years that he's been suffering💔

  41. N.... G....

    Rest In Peace Kobe and GiGi 💔

  42. J.... Y....

    His Music Is Still Amazing

  43. W.... C....

    R Kelly kinda reminds me of 69

  44. J.... G....

    We all need to appreciate R. Kelly for his music while he’s still here with us. The man did extremely horrible to those young girls due to his childhood past, but aye, life man. Life is extremely too short to hold grudges on people you can easily forgive. Tomorrow’s never promised. RIP Kobe, GiGi and the other seven on board that chopper crash.

  45. S.... M....

    R Kelly je t’aime et je t’aimerai quoiqu’il en ai 😌😍

  46. A.... w....

    My dad just died this is hard

    A.... w....

    RIP to the homie Kobie and his daughter and all of those aboard that chopper. To all all who read this I truly wish you the best and hope all your dreams come through. Also let’s say a word of prayer for R Kelly, prison is no place to be, and everyone deserves a second chance let’s not judge. We are all far from perfect and as such makes mistakes.

    Y.... A....

    There's no I in *KOBE* , put some respect on his name!

    Y.... A....

    Kid said kobie

    Y.... A....

    Alot of people don't know when they are really blessed because if i had the money that he made i would not did what he did with them young girls like that

    Y.... A....

    @kevin n @jackie....courts are for what if you already judged him?...and please listen to these ladies they all agree that they dated him some for 2-4 years,then tell us,who did he abuse or rape?

    Y.... A....

    The part of this comment that’s not about Kobe is repulsive.

  93. R.... F....

    RIP KOBE BRYANT I LOVE YOU MAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  94. M.... T....

    Still bumping this in 2020!

  95. F.... W....
