Airplanes
B.o.B ft Hayley Williams and Eminem Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Is like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)

(Dreamin', of fallin, dreamin', of fallin')

Let's pretend like its '98
Like I'm eating lunch off of Styrofoam trays
Trying to be the next rapper coming out the A
Hoping for a record deal, to re-know my pain
Now let's pretend like I'm on the stage
And when my beat drops everybody goes insane (ok)
And everybody know my name (B.o.B)
And everywhere I go people wanna hear me sang
Oh yea and I just dropped my new album
On the first week I did five hundred thousand
Gold in the spring and diamond in the fall
And then a world tour just to top it all off
And let's pretend like they call me the greatest
Selling out arenas with big ass stages
And everybody loved me and no one ever hated
Let's try to use imagination

Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Is like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)

Okay, let's pretend like this never happened
Like I never had dreams of being a rapper
Like I didn't write raps in all of my classes
Like I never used to runaway into the blackness
Now let's pretend like it was all-good
Like I didn't live starring in a notebook
Like I did the things I probably knew I should
But I didn't have neighbors that's why they call it hood
Now let's pretend like I ain't got a name
Before they ever called me B.o.B or a.k.a Bobby Ray
I'm talking back before the mixtapes
Before the videos and the deals and the fame
Before they ever once compared me to Andre
Before I ever got Myspace
Before they ever noticed my face
So let's just pretend and make wishes out of airplanes

Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Is like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)

(And it seems like yesterday it was just a dream
But those days are gone, they're just memories
And it seems yesterday it was just a dream
But those days are gone)

Let's pretend Marshall Mathers never picked up a pen
Let's pretend things would've been no different
Pretend he procrastinated, had no motivation
Pretend he just made excuses that
Was so paper thin they could blow away wit the wind
Marshall you never gone make it,
Makes no sense to play the game it ain't no way that'll you win
Pretend he just stand out side all day and play with his friends
Pretend he even had a friend to say was his friend
And it wasn't time to move in school no changing again
He wasn't socially awkward and just strange as a kid
He had a father and his mother wasn't crazy as shit
And he never dreamed he can ripped stadiums he just lazy as shit
Fuck a talent show in the gymnasium bitch
You won't amount to shit quit day dreaming kid
You need to get ya cranium check you thinking like an alien
It just ain't realistic
Now pretend they ain't just make him angry with this shit
And there was no one he could even aim when he's pissed with
And his alarm went off to wake him but he didn't make it to the rap Olympics
He slept through his plane and he missed it
He's gonna have a hard time explaining to Haley and Laney these food stamps and W-I-C shit
'Cause he never risked shit, he hoped and he wished it
But it didn't fall in his lap so he ain't even hear it he pretends that

Airplanes
In the night sky
Is like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky

Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now (wish right now, wish right now)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Airplanes Pt II" by B.o.B ft Eminem & Haley Williams revolve around the idea of using imagination to make wishes and dreams come true. The song starts with the idea of pretending that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars that could grant wishes. The chorus repeats this idea, expressing the desire for a wish to come true. The first verse then takes the listener on a journey of imagination, pretending to be a famous rapper, releasing an album and going on a world tour. The second verse takes a different turn, with the rapper imagining what his life would be like if he had not become famous, but then ends with the same desire for a wish to come true.

The bridge of the song is where Eminem adds his powerful and emotional verse, expressing his regret and frustration at times in his life. He talks about the alternate reality of what his life would have been like if he had not become successful in music. He pretends that he never picked up a pen and had no motivation, making excuses and not putting in the effort. He talks about how people doubted him and didn't believe he would make it, but he persevered and achieved his dreams. The song ultimately emphasizes the importance of using imagination and creativity to make dreams come true, even in difficult circumstances.

Can we pretend that airplanes

I could really use a wish right now
Wish right now, wish right now
Yeah, yo... let's pretend like it's '98

Trying to be the next rapper coming out the A (A-Town)
Hoping for a record deal to ignore my pain
Yeah, now let's pretend like I'm on the stage
And when my beat drops everybody goes insane
Okay, and everybody know my name (Bob)
And everywhere I go people want to hear me sang
Oh yeah, and I just dropped my new album
On the first week I did 500 thousand
Gold in the spring, and diamond in the fall
And then a world tour just to top it all off
And let's pretend like they call me the greatest
Selling out arenas with big ass stages
And everybody loved me and no one ever hated

Before I ever got on MySpace
Before they ever noticed my face
So let's just pretend, and make wishes out of airplanes
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars?
I could really use a wish right now
Wish right now, wish right now
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars?

Pretend he just made excuses that were so paper thin
They could blow away with the wind
"Marshall you're never gonna make it
Makes no sense to play the game
There ain't no way that you'll win"
Pretend he just stayed outside all day
And played with his friends
Pretend he even had a friend to say was his friend
And it wasn't time to move
And schools weren't changin' again
He wasn't socially awkward and just strange as a kid
He had a father and his mother wasn't crazy as shit
And he never dreamed he could rip stadiums
And just lazy as shit
Fuck a talent show in the gymnasium, bitch
"You won't amount to shit, quit daydreamin', kid!
You need to get your cranium checked
You're thinking like an alien, it just ain't realistic"
Now pretend they ain't just make him angry with this shit
And there was no one he could even aim when he's pissed at
And his alarm went off to wake him
But he didn't make it to the Rap Olympics
Slept through his plane and he missed it
He's gon' have a hard time explaining to Hailie and Lainey
These food stamps and this WIC shit
'Cause he never risked shit, he hoped and he wished it
But it didn't fall in his lap
So he ain't even here, he pretends that...
Airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars...
I could really use a wish right now
Wish right now, wish right now
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars?
I could really use a wish right now
Wish right now, wish right now

Caffeine and 200mg of L-theanine. It's what's in green tea. 200 mg tablet before morning cup of coffee, then again midday with another cup. Really helped my ADHD. Mellows out the coffee high and eliminates terrible caffeine crashes in the evening. Can take caffeine free green tea in the evening to mellow out and shut off the ADHD chatter. Avoid alcohol/drugs, eat well & sleep well. 💪

Haley's voice is so beautiful.
B.o.B. has a good voice, and powerful lyrics.
But Marshall... This is one of his best verses of all time. The gimmick of pretending Eminem wouldn't have passion for Hip-Hop is so moving. His rhyme schemes are insane. How he can manipulate the syllables and words to fit his custom rhymes is he work of a legend.
This is in my top 10 songs of all time.

Whenever I'm depressed and suicidal I always go back to an Eminem song. I just found out Airplanes 2 existed and its definitely better than the first one. EM IS KING.

The two verses fit perfect together because they both start off with let’s pretend and they say it a few times. It’s like B.O.B heard the song Marshall Mathers and wrote a verse with that flow stuck in his head.
