Airplanes
bob. Lyrics

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shootin' stars
Can we imagine that airplanes flying in the dark are like shooting stars?

I could really use a wish right now, wish right now, wish right now
I need a wish desperately at this moment.

Yeah, I could use a dream or a genie or a wish
I need something to hope for - a dream, a genie or a wish,

To go back to a place much simpler than this
To find a way back to a more simple and less complicated time and place.

'Cause after all the partyin' and smashin' and crashin'
Because despite all the fun and wild times,

And all the glitz and glam and the fashion
And all the luxury, show and latest trends,

And all the pandemonium and all the madness
And all the chaos and frenzy,

There comes a time where you fade to the blackness
There's a point where you lose your way and everything turns dark.

And when you're starin' at the phone in your lap
And when you're looking at your phone waiting for someone to call you,

And you hopin' but them people never call you back
And you're desperately hoping for a call which never comes.

But that's just how the story unfolds
That's just how life goes,

You get another hand soon after you fold
You get another chance after losing in life.

And when your plans unravel in the sand
And when everything you've planned falls apart,

What would you wish for, if you had one chance?
What would you wish for with that one opportunity?

So airplane, airplane sorry I'm late
So airplane, airplane sorry for being late,

I'm on my way so don't close that gate
I'm coming so please don't close the door,

If I don't make that, then I'll switch my flight
If I miss it, I'll change my flight to get there.

And I'll be right back at it by the end of the night
And I'll be ready and working by the end of the night.

Yeah, yeah, somebody take me back to the days
Yeah, yeah, someone take me back to the old times

Before this was a job, before I got paid
Before this was a profession, before earning from it,

Before it ever mattered what I had in my bank
Before the money in my bank mattered.

Yeah, back when I was tryna get a tip at Subway
Yes, when I was trying to get a tip while working at Subway.

And back then I was rappin' for the hell of it
And back then, I used to rap just for fun.

But nowadays we rappin' to stay relevant
But nowadays, we rap to remain popular and significant.

I'm guessin' that if we can make some wishes out of airplanes
I assume that if we can make wishes out of airplanes,

Then maybe, oh maybe, I'll go back to the days
Then perhaps, I could return to those old times

Before the politics that we call the rap game
Before the rap game became politicized.

And back when ain't nobody listened to my mixtape
When nobody wanted to listen to my mixtape.

And back before when I tried to cover up my slang
Before I started hiding my unique style of communication.

But this is for Decatur, what's up Bobby Ray?
But this song is dedicated to Decatur, what's up Bobby Ray?

So can I get a wish to end the politics?
So, can I get a wish to put an end to the politics?

And get back to the music that started this shit
And return to the music that began all this mess.

So here I stand and then again I say
So, here I am saying once again,

I'm hoping we can make some wishes out of airplanes
I'm hoping we can wish upon airplanes.

I could really use a wish right now
I desperately need a wish at the moment.

I, I, I could really use a wish right now
I could use a wish right now, really.

Like, like, like shootin' stars
Like, like, like shooting stars.

I, I, I could, I could really use a wish right now
I could really, really use a wish at this moment.

A wish, a wish right now
A wish, a desperately needed wish at this very moment.
