Tom MacDonald - I Wish Lyrics






I wish I wasn't fat
I wish I wasn't gay
I wish I wasn't black
I wish that I was brave
I wish, I wish, I wish
With every candle on the cake
That I could quit doing these drugs
But I can't and I'm afraid
I wish that I was smart
I wish that I was rich
I wish it wasn't hard for me
To grow up and forgive
I wish that I could help
I wish I wasn't sick
I wish I was Tom Macdonald
I'd be just like him

I wish I wasn't sober
I miss it when the party wasn't over
Happiness was right around the corner
Every single night was like the best one of our lives, now we're older
The good old days are out of reach I wish that they were closer
I wish I wasn't anxious, and I wish I could fast forward
And I wish I could rewind but they don't make that controller
I wish the nights were longer and I wish the days were shorter
And I wish that I could sleep enough to maintain my composure
I feel crazy, I wish that I was normal
I wish that I could kill myself but also be immortal
Take me to the Oracle, I heard the time is borrowed
Can you give me back my yesterdays, I'll give you my tomorrows
Forget all of my morals and just live like I cannot remember sorrow
Before all of the tattoos and the cornrows I was different
I was happy, I was calmer, I was young and full of hormones
Now I'm wishing for a time machine, I'd step into that portal
And be gone

I wish on shooting stars
Or were they satellites
Maybe they were too far
Ay-ooh, nah nah
I must have blown apart
A million dandelions
Now they don't grow in my yard
Ay-ooh, nah nah

I wish I didn't care about the day that I'd be buried
Used to live like I was ready for it, always in a hurry, now I'm worried
All my memories are blurry, I'm just barely turning 30
And the voices in my head are tryna hurt me
The choices that I made make me feel dirty, I was 25 at 13
I was smoking with the seniors, drinking beer and getting flirty
Now the Ativan ain't working I need something even stronger
Give me childhood, my mother and my father and my sister
And a Christmas to make up for all the recent ones I missed
And while I'm touring the country for a living
Give me a hug and a Nintendo and toy box in the closet
Give me everything I wish I had, oh wait, I think I got it
I'm a rapper like I always promised them I would accomplish
This is awesome man, I wish I had a friend to tell
I'd call him and I wonder if I jumped from here if I'd survive the bottom
And would everyone believe me if I told them I had fallen
I'ma jump

I wish on shooting stars
Or were they satellites
Maybe they were too far
Ay-ooh, nah nah
I must have blown apart
A million dandelions
Now they don't grow in my yard
Ay-ooh, nah nah

I wish we were kids again
Before everything was on Instagram, hey oh
Things were so simple then
Me, my tree fort, all of my friends
Way back when on Beaver Drive
Where the floor was lava, I could fly
Ayo, wished I was big like them
Never thought I'd wanna be a kid again

I wish on shooting stars
Or were they satellites
Maybe they were too far
Ay-ooh, nah nah
I must have blown apart
A million dandelions
Now they don't grow in my yard
Ay-ooh, nah nah

I wish on shooting stars
Or were they satellites
Maybe they were too far
Ay-ooh, nah nah
I must have blown apart
A million dandelions
Now they don't grow in my yard
Ay-ooh, nah nah

    “Thanks Mac Lethal for introducing us to Tom McDonald, somebody that doesn’t care about my banking account or my ZIP Code, somebody that speaks from the heart from the depths of the reaches that most people especially you on YouTube and these commenters that have no clue about reality past your Nvidia graphics card. Thank you Mac Lethal just Like Shooke Night, creating drama sacrificing (sacrificing one of the greatest rappers of all time Tupac, trying to start shit with Eminem and everyone else to bring your dead ass fing career out of the fing grave)peoples lives to advance their own, thank you Mac Lethal for exposing Tom MacDonald for being one of the realist MFs that speaks from his heart independently without having to suck the Dick‘s of all the industry POS’s out there that leech and have sucked the life out of this Gen and the X Gen(we know Shook) , God will be your judge soon #HereComesThePain #AndWeKnow #HereComesTheStorm #WeHaveEverything
    just a concerned parent with a child that I’m protecting from your toxic poison.”
    And
    Only 3.7 million views, part of the problem with this world,no Tom is not the answer,nor God, but his vision is of God,Thank you to the person doing the reaction is my first time seeing you doing Tom’s reactions, thank you for not being biased and coming at it intellectually.

  50. B.... N....

    Every song I click on from Tom just blows my mind. Keep spitting the truth homie

  51. C.... C....

    0:57

    "Can you give me back my yesterday's I will give you my tomorrow's

    Damn that hit me hard

  52. D.... J....

    holy shit a Tom MacDonald song made me fucking cry. These home videos are so much like mine. Life was so much easier as a kid. It was so great I wish I could fly off to Never Never Land like Peter Pan. From one black sheep to another. I don't think you can ever make your family or other people happy without being pushed to be unhappy, yourself.

  53. J.... F....

    I only discovered this guy but holy shit he is awesome lots of angels on airways on this song but yeah he’s got a new fan for sure

  54. t.... b....

    he posted this on my birthday feb 1

  55. J.... L....

    defo hear blink in the chorus........not a bad thing tho...sounds like mark singing

  56. L.... W....

    He sound like macklemore to me

  57. O.... _....

    Wow I’m floored by these lyrics. Feels good to feel the earth under my feet again.

  58. A.... S....

    Tom is the best and i only first heard of him a few months ago

  59. R.... t....

    Just started listening two your music wow

  60. H.... C....

    The true artist who speaks the truth. A genuine message. Wish people notice Him as an artist, not just a rapper. We need artist like him today!

  61. X.... ....

    I hate that the rest of Tom's songs don't come close to this level of quality. This is his only that song that made me feel something, that chorus is bleak as hell. Tom should stop pushing himself as an edgy white boy and make more music like this, cos this is really damn good.

    X.... ....

    For real real

  62. B.... C....

    I wanted to dislike but Good Lord this is 🔥
    Dude picks the best beats/melodies.

  63. S.... G....

    *You remind me of Lil Dicky and G-eazy sometimes lol.*

  64. T.... ....

    this hit me really hard!

  65. C.... H....

    This guy's lyric's say everything that could have come from me. He's wise beyond his year's. Great lyric's.

  66. #.... P....

    I wish I could shake this man's hand

  67. L.... L....

    TOM MCDONALD mad tears 😭

  68. J.... T....

    To see the creativity here is unique! To go from this to #ihatehiphop shows his skill level. This man is a star. Enough said!

  69. D.... W....

    Common thread I see here is how his music, specially this song, connects and touches everyone. No matter what you're going through, depression, addiction, medical issues, etc.... This song pulls at your soul.

  70. A.... ....

    I love all of Tom's music, . . . but this is my absolute favorite. (as of 12/14/2019) Thank you for stirring souls, Tom.

  71. K.... B....

    What do I gotta do to get this guy to tour my city? Because... I will

  72. T.... M....

    Bro your music is a huge remembrance of life and I appreciate you stories all the time thanks

  73. K.... R....

  74. G.... ....

    Still my favorite song of yours.

  75. D.... A....

    I just listened to your new song I Hate Hip-hop...then I went back to your very first video on YT. I relate so much and at the the same time I'm like wow holy shit I feel those exact feelings of self loathing and betrayal and much more. Anyway my point is is that you are truly growing and staying true blue bro. I seriously have so much more respect for you as an artist.
    I had my own hopes asperations of working with music; since I was like 8/9 yrs. old but Drugs 😤😤😤 got in the way.... Depression,Anxiety, PTSD... they are my "Kryptonite" ☠️ ya know. Drugs were my Best Friend but my mortal enemy. It's so sick and twisted. People who never have/had an alcohol or drug addiction always think it's so EASY FUCKIN PEAZY LEMON SQUEAZY. "Why can't you just STOP! BEING A EFFING DRUNK/JUNKIE...GOD!?!?" GEE thanks so and so that just worked wonders for me whatever your name is. Thank You for saving me🤗🤗🙄🙄🤬🤪🤯🤐😑😑😑...smfh x's 10000000. Also I love your poetry bro Anxiety gave me goosebumps. Now I tear up a bit, because those type of unbearable feelings are still rampant thru my everyday life. I'm trying on the daily to free myself from my shackles n' chains⛓️⛓️⛓️. Point being I'm a fan. never bend,give in,change,or sell your soul. Keep it💯 Keep fueling your Fire Tom.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
