I Wish
ATL feat. Ciara Harris Lyrics

Ladies and gentlemen this is another Jazzy-Fizzle Product shizzle
Introducing the song, produced by Jazzy-Fizzle and his team.

Said the sun don't shine the same, but without ya love it don't shine at all
The singer is comparing life without the love of their partner to a sun that loses its shine.

yea plain sue describes her wardrobe, Malibu stones inside her earlobes, She always front row at the show, ay yo tell them how the story should go....
The singer is asking someone to tell a story about a woman named Sue, who has expensive style and is always in the front row at shows.

I'm jus sittin here thinkin how i wound up on my own, now ain't it funny how things go wit two people in love, cuz we used to be cool, we used to be homies, till i fouled it up and you dont want me (nooo) still, and i can't be mad cuz i'm the one to blame
The artist is reflecting on how they ruined a good relationship and acknowledges their responsibility in the relationship's ending.

(Chorus) wish i would of been a better man, wish i would of been a better friend, wish dat i had a second chance, cuz if i did i would do the right thing, again
The artist expresses regret for not being a better partner and friend and wishes they had another chance to do better.

(Ciara) you know you could have been a better man, you know you could have been a better friend, Now you wish, you wish, you wish, Wish i was still your man
Ciara reminds the singer that they also had shortcomings in the relationship and admits that the singer's wish for a second chance resonates.

We started off a funky combination, you was from the Cali, i was from the A-Town, I've never meet a girl with such dedication, i jus knew you would stay down, In The Squads we was bigger than Diddy and Hove, When People Would see us they'd say there they go, Your momma sed im da nicest boy shed meet before, then all lost control
The singer reflects on the beginnings of the relationship, with two different backgrounds and personalities, and how they had impressive chemistry as a couple.

I had you at home waiting for me, all alone,while im out in the streets, im so wrong, for acting so hard, cuz now im all saw that ur gone
The artist acknowledges their mistake of prioritizing their street life over the person they love and now regrets it as they are alone.

And i Cant sleep, Cant eat, cant drink and i cant think, cant be without your love any longer, ill be a better man if you just come home
The artist describes their current state of heartbreak and the desire to be a better partner if they could only have their loved one back in their life.

(Chorus) If you played ya cards right, everythang would've been alright, If u played ya cards right, everythang would've been alright
The chorus asserts that if both parties had been better partners in the relationship, everything would have worked out fine.

I wish i cudda' (cudda') i wish i Wudda (wudda') all this wishing got me missin ya back in the pawn fishin' All the rite decisions would of prevented all the wrong feelinz you had for ending it Just Listen!
The singer regrets not making better decisions, as it led to the ending of the relationship, and wishes they could change the past.
