Wishes (If I Had)
If I had a wish
I'll deal with the suffering
Seeking all my people
Starring into the barrel of that Desert Eagle
Serving all of their sentences
Just to make 'em legal
I be that little boy waiting at home
Lookin' for his father
Knowin' that he ain't coming back
And that junkie shootin' with the needle
Smokin' the crack
Prostitute snortin' coke
So she can give 'em a sack
Walk in the church
Switchin' places with the minister
Clear out the room
'Cause Dylaan's lookin' really sinister
Pistols, AR's, don't matter
Just let the blood shed
And now they at home preachin'
Gettin' them spoons fed
If we not safe in God's house
What do we say?
Stand tall like hypocrites
Come Judgement Day
Confess our sins
And still promote the Devil's ways
We not stuck in a loop
We stuck on replay
We not cryin' for help
We cause our own destruction
Don't try to even the score
But the gun starts erupting
Fallin' in the melting pot
I suffer all of their sins
Walk through the gates
And sign my name
Where do we begin?
If I had a wish
I'll deal with the suffering
Seeking all my people
Starring into the barrel of that Desert Eagle
Serving all of their sentences
Just to make 'em legal
If I had a wish
I'll deal with the suffering
Seeking all my people
Starring into the barrel of that Desert Eagle
Serving all of their sentences
Just to make 'em legal
I'll go back in time and fix the mishaps
Back in the days when we
Were murdered, raped, and kidnapped
Back in the days when Emmett
Was runnin', not with the ball
Thought he was dreamin'
As they crushed his face
Against the wall
Martin seen it comin'
That's why the King
Spoke with passion
Our leaders die by the bullet
The pain is everlasting
Jordan died twenty minutes away
Still hear the gun blastin'
Hey
Still hear the music blastin'
Switch my hoodie with Trayvon
And walk him home
And let Zimmerman have target practice
With my dome
Give Rosa a rose
Just to claim her seat
And now they scrapin' my brains
Off the concrete
Kneelin' with them shackles
Just to be traded
Stand-in' there for you
When the band gets raided
Spillin' blood for the K-9
Just to tame to bite
I'll die for every aborted baby
Just so they see the light
If I had a wish
I'll deal with the suffering
Seeking all my people
Starring into the barrel of that Desert Eagle
Serving all of their sentences
Just to make 'em legal
If I had a wish
I'll deal with the suffering
Seeking all my people
Starring into the barrel of that Desert Eagle
Serving all of their sentences
Just to make 'em legal
I be that little boy waiting at home
Lookin' for his father
Knowin' that he ain't coming back
And that junkie shootin' with the needle
