Airplanes
B.O.B. Feat. Eminem & HayLey Williams (PARAMORE) - NEW SINGLE 2010 (Another Version) byAGUNKz scrEa Lyrics

Can we pretend that airplanes In the night sky are like shooting stars?
The singer asks if we can imagine airplanes as shooting stars to fulfill his wish.

I could really use a wish right now Wish right now Wish right now
The singer emphasizes that he needs a wish to come true immediately.

Yeah, I could use a dream or a genie or a wish To go back to a place much simpler than this
The singer desires to return to a simpler time and wishes for a dream, genie, or wish to achieve that.

'Cause after all the partyin' and smashin' and crashin' And all the glitz and the glam and the fashion
The artist has experienced wild and extravagant times, but is not fulfilled.

And all the pandemonium and all the madness There comes a time where you fade to the blackness
The artist acknowledges that the wild times come to an end, and there is a period of emptiness and darkness.

And when you starin' at that phone in your lap And you're hopin' but them people never call you back
The singer feels ignored and alone, hoping for someone to contact them.

But that's just how the story unfolds You get another hand soon after you fold
The singer acknowledges that life goes on and that things can change quickly.

And when your plans unravel in the sand What would you wish for if you had one chance?
The artist questions what people would wish for if their plans fall apart and they had only one wish left.

So airplane, airplane, sorry I'm late I'm on my way so don't close that gate If I don't make that then I'll switch my flight And I'll be right back at it by the end of the night
The artist apologizes for being late, but assures that he will be there soon by switching flights if necessary.

Yeah, yeah, somebody take me back to the days Before this was a job, before I got paid
The artist desires to return to the days when rapping was just a hobby and he wasn't getting paid for it.

Before it ever mattered what I had in my bank Yeah, back when I was tryin' to get a tip at Subway
The singer reminisces about the time when the money in his bank account wasn't important and he was working for tips at Subway.

But nowadays we rappin' to stay relevant I'm guessin' that if we can make some wishes outta' airplanes
The artist laments that nowadays, rapping is done solely for the sake of staying relevant. He hopes that wishes can come true, even from airplanes.

Then maybe yo maybe I'll go back to the days Before the politics that we call the rap game
The singer longs to return to the earlier days of rap, before it became a political game.

And back when ain't nobody listen to my mixtape And back before I tried to cover up my slang
The singer reflects on the times when nobody listened to his music, and before he had to alter his slang to appeal to a wider audience.

But this is for the hater, what's up Bobby Ray? So can I get a wish To end the politics And get back to the music That started this shit?
The singer addresses his haters and asks for a wish to end the politics in rap and return to the music that started it all.

So here I stand and then again I say I'm hopin' we can make some wishes outta' airplanes
The artist reiterates his hope that wishes can come true, even from airplanes.

I could really use a wish right now (oh, oh-oh oh) I, I, I could really use a wish right now Like, like, like shootin' stars (oh, oh oh) I, I, I could really use a wish right now A wish, a wish right now (A wish right now)
The artist repeats his need for a wish to come true and compares it to shooting stars which are often associated with wishes.
