| [00:09.790] |
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars? |
| [00:14.990] |
I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now |
| [00:20.090] |
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars? |
| [00:25.140] |
I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now |
| [00:31.490] |
Dreaming (oh oh oh oh) |
| [00:36.500] |
Of falling (mm mm mm mm) |
| [00:41.800] |
Dreaming (oh oh oh oh) |
| [00:46.900] |
Of falling (oh oh oh oh) |
| [00:50.700] |
(Yeah) Let's pretend like it's '98 |
| [00:54.010] |
Like I'm eating lunch off of styrofoam trays |
| [00:56.660] |
Trying to be the next rapper comin' out the A (A-town) |
| [00:59.510] |
Hoping for a record deal to ignore my pain (yeah) |
| [01:02.410] |
Now let's pretend like I'm on the stage |
| [01:04.810] |
And when my beat drops everybody goes insane (woo!) |
| [01:07.070] |
Okay, and everybody know my name (B.o.B) |
| [01:09.870] |
And everywhere I go people wanna hear me sing (oh) |
| [01:12.370] |
Oh yeah, and I just dropped my new album |
| [01:15.520] |
On the first week I did five hundred thousand |
| [01:17.920] |
Gold in the spring and diamond in the fall |
| [01:20.470] |
And then a world tour just to top it all off |
| [01:22.970] |
And let's pretend like they called me the greatest |
| [01:25.820] |
Selling out arenas with big ass stages |
| [01:28.330] |
And everybody loved me and no one ever hated |
| [01:31.080] |
Let's try to use imagination |
| [01:33.580] |
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars? |
| [01:37.390] |
I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now |
| [01:42.490] |
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars? |
| [01:47.940] |
I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now |
| [01:53.180] |
Okay let's pretend like this never happened (never) |
| [01:56.530] |
Like I never had dreams of being a rapper (rapper) |
| [01:59.030] |
Like I didn't write raps up in all of my classes |
| [02:01.680] |
Like I never used to run away into the blackness |
| [02:04.760] |
Now let's pretend like it was all good (good) |
| [02:06.710] |
Like I didn't live staring in a notebook (notebook) |
| [02:09.170] |
Like I did the things that I probably knew I should (should) |
| [02:11.720] |
But I ain't have neighbors, that's why they call it hood (hood, yeah) |
| [02:14.470] |
Now let's pretend like I ain't got a name |
| [02:17.020] |
Before they ever call me B.o.B a.k.a. Bobby Ray |
| [02:20.020] |
I'm talking back before the mixtapes (yeah) |
| [02:23.370] |
Before the videos and the deals and the fame |
| [02:25.370] |
Before they ever once compared me to André |
| [02:28.160] |
Before I ever got on MySpace |
| [02:30.660] |
Before they ever noticed my face |
| [02:32.610] |
So let's just pretend and make wishes out of airplanes |
| [02:35.870] |
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars? |
| [02:40.730] |
I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now |
| [02:45.630] |
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars? |
| [02:50.830] |
I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now |
| [02:58.880] |
And it seems like yesterday |
| [02:59.840] |
And it seems like yesterday |
| [03:01.500] |
It was just a dream |
| [03:01.540] |
It was just a dream |
| [03:03.990] |
But those days are gone (gone gone) |
| [03:04.010] |
But those days are gone (gone, gone) |
| [03:09.410] |
And just memories (oh, oh) |
| [03:10.290] |
And it seems like yesterday |
| [03:11.840] |
It was just a dream |
| [03:14.140] |
But those days are gone (gone gone) |
| [03:17.290] |
All right let's pretend Marshall Mathers never picked up a pen |
| [03:19.840] |
Let's pretend things would have been no different |
| [03:22.350] |
Pretend he procrastinated, had no motivation |
| [03:25.750] |
Pretend he just made excuses that were so paper thin |
| [03:28.250] |
They could blow away with the wind |
| [03:30.550] |
Marshall you're never gonna make it |
| [03:31.800] |
Makes no sense to play the game |
| [03:33.250] |
There ain't no way that you'll win |
| [03:34.810] |
Pretend he just stayed outside all day and played with his friends |
| [03:36.710] |
Pretend he even had a friend to say was his friend |
| [03:39.210] |
And it wasn't time to move and schools were changing again |
| [03:41.310] |
He wasn't socially awkward and just strange as a kid |
| [03:43.810] |
He had a father and his mother wasn't crazy as shit |
| [03:46.310] |
And he never dreamed he could rip stadiums and just lazy as shit |
| [03:49.510] |
**** a talent show in a gymnasium, bitch |
| [03:52.860] |
You won't amount to shit, quit daydreaming kid |
| [03:55.010] |
You need to get your cranium checked |
| [03:56.810] |
You thinking like an alien it just ain't realistic |
| [03:59.770] |
Now pretend they ain't just make him angry with this shit |
| [04:02.520] |
And there was no one he could even aim when he's pissed it |
| [04:04.860] |
And his alarm went off to wake him off |
| [04:05.960] |
But he didn't make it to the rap Olympics |
| [04:08.460] |
Slept through his plane and he missed it |
| [04:10.410] |
He's gon' have a hard time explaining to Hailey and Laney |
| [04:13.160] |
These food stamps and this WIC shit |
| [04:15.260] |
'Cause he never risked shit, he hoped and he wished it |
| [04:17.210] |
But it didn't fall in his lap so he ain't even here |
| [04:20.010] |
He pretends that... |
| [04:21.020] |
...airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars |
| [04:24.670] |
I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now |
| [04:29.820] |
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars? |
| [04:34.870] |
I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now |
