I Wish You Would
DJ Khaled Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm so serious!
One, two them boys coming for you (Huh!)
Three, four, better lock your door (Huh!)
Five, six, hide your bitch (Woo!) (Ayo Yeezy, pop your shit)
They said, thou shall not be ill, thou shall not feel
Niggas selling packs, niggas flipping pills
They got heroin and cracks, man these niggas hot for real
Every year gon be our year, every year gon be my year
These niggas really is out here, these niggas really is out here
The block is at war, post traumatic stress
Ran up outta pills, rob that CVS
Niggas getting bust over "In God's We Trust"
We believe in God but do God believe in us
If we believe enough, will we ever get to know 'em
That lean got us dozing, we forget that we the chosen
I've been poppin' shit for too long
But still reppin' where I came from
I guess it's how I came up
I wish you would try to play us
I wish you would nigga (Woo!)
I wish you would nigga (Woo!)
I wish you would nigga (Woo!)
I wish you would nigga (Huh!)
I guess it's how I came up
I wish you would try to play us
My money on a another level
In the streets I hear 'em hotter than the fucking devil
I wonder how I got a hundred in my fucking bezel
G5, make it rain, I can change the weather
We fly them niggas lame, where your fucking cheddar?
Aim at your brain, AK be the fucking letters
Fuck niggas fall in alphabetical order
Frank Lucas fur, the cap run more than a quarter
I'm at the fight, ringside, right next to promoters
All my niggas still hustle consider 'em roguish
I remember catching buses just bought me a Lotus
All your codes get decoded, know the niggas you quotin'
Huh, my corner will scorch ya, somehow my flow is the coldest
Money, power, respect, the only thing's truly important
Family first, Khaled we gotta stay focused
"God Forgives and I Don't" pussy niggas unnoticed
I wish you would nigga (Woo!)

You see you got a couple cases, still look good nigga

But you gon' chill nigga, just for your kids nigga
Cause now there's kids doing grown man biz' nigga
You just got home nigga, you tryna live nigga

G5, make it rain, I can change the weather
I've got a lot of money, more than most people, and I hear people on the street talking about me; I can't believe how much money I have, and I'm so rich that I can change the weather

Your boss is asking you to do some dangerous things, the authorities are questioning you, and they're hoping you'll fail a drug test; you might feel like screaming at the sky because there are so many unanswered questions; sometimes all you want to do is shoot a gun
'Cause they been poppin' shit for too long (Woo!)
But still reppin' where I came from
I guess it's how I came up
I wish you would try to play us
Those guys have been talking a lot of trash, but I'm still staying true to my roots; this is how I grew up, and I'm not afraid of anyone who tries to mess with me
