I Wish
KVBA Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wish you was the one, but I know that you just ain't
Now I have to act, like you never on my brain
I got new verses to rap, and new melodies to sing
I wish I had some' for you to use against the pain

I wish you was the one, but I know that you just ain't
Now I have to act, like you never on my brain
I got new verses to rap, and new melodies to sing

I wish I had some' for you to use against the pain

Why is this strange to you? baby
I been broke I don't want this life, I got things to do, baby
Told 'em I wanna slow down time, I can't hang with you, baby
To juggle you with other things is what lames would do, baby
I cannot let nobody into my heart now
Finished up my 22th so I gotta go in and go hard now
That's the whole reason, I was leaving and I moved out
Know it takes some time, but my line coming out soon now, on God
With all the help of God
Even when I got a problem I ain't really got no prob
I ain't gotta tell on Sunday you can see me up in church
Then from Monday up to Saturday I'm putting in the work
Oh yeah, don't tell me I don't deserve
Won't be bigger than an opener, you poking on my nerves
I'm bad at ignoring, good thing my phone out of service
Thanks to you I made a goal towards that I can work

I wish you was the one, but I know that you just ain't
Now I have to act, like you never on my brain
I got new verses to rap, and new melodies to sing
I wish I had some' for you to use against the pain

I wish you was the one, but I know that you just ain't
Now I have to act, like you never on my brain
I got new verses to rap, and new melodies to sing
I wish I had some' for you to use against the pain

Sorry it's taking a little longer than it should
But I promise Imma find a good girl who can cook
Imma take care of the broski, fly him out to the east
I'll pay any price to keep him away from the streets
Hurts me in my chest to see him stressed out
I'd rather see him in a penthouse
So I'm too worried bout being the best out
But looking what I got, Im feeling blessed now
Hurts me in my chest to see him stressed out
I"d rather see him in a penthouse
So im too worried bout being the best out

But looking what I got, I'm feeling blessed now
Thank God
