(B.o.B)
Let’s pretend like it’s ’98 Like I’m eatin’ lunch off of Stryofoam trays Tryna be the next rapper comin’ out the A (A-Town) Hoping for a record deal to ignore my pain Now let’s pretend like I’m on the stage And when my beat drops, everybody goes insane (Okay) And everybody know my name (B.o.B) And everywhere I go, people wanna hear me sing Oh, yeah, I just dropped my new album On my first week, I did 500,000 (Yes) Gold in the spring, and diamond in the fall And then a world tour just to top it all off And let’s pretend that they call me the greatest Sellin’ out arenas with big-ass stages And everybody loved me, and nobody hated Just tryna use imagination ...... Can we pretend that airplanes In the night sky Are like shooting stars? (Shooting stars) I could really use a wish right now (Wish right now) Wish right now (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 up in all of my classes Like I never used to run away into the blackness Now, let’s pretend like it was all good (Good) Like I didn’t live starin’ in the notebook (Notebook) Like I did the things that I prolly knew I should (Should) But I ain’t have neighbors, that’s why they call it hood (Yeah) Now let’s pretend like I ain’t got a name Before they ever called me B.o.B or AKA Bobby Ray I’m talkin’ back before the mixtapes Before the videos and the deals and the fame Before they ever once compared me to Andre (Three Stacks) Before I ever got on MySpace Before they ever noticed my face So let’s just pretend And make wishes out of airplanes .... And it seems like yesterday It was just a dream But those days are gone They’re just memories Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars I could really use a wish right now, a wish right now, a wish right now Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars I could really use a wish right now, a wish right now, a wish right now
I could use a dream or a Jeanie or a wish To go back to a place much simpler than this Cause after all the partyin and smashin and crashin And all the glitz and glam and the fashion And all the pandemonium and all the madness There comes a time when you fade to the blackness And when you’re starin at the phone in your lap And you hopin but them people never call you back But that’s just how the story unfolds You get another hand soon after you fold And when your plans unravel in the sand What would you wish for if you had one chance? 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
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars I could really use a wish right now, a wish right now, a wish right now Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars I could really use a wish right now, a wish right now, a wish right now
Yeah somebody take me back to the days Before this was a job before I got paid Before it ever mattered what I had in my bank Yeah back when I was trying to get into the subway And back when I was rappin for the hell of it But nowadays we rappin to stay relevant I’m guessing that if we could make some wishes out or airplanes Then maybe oh maybe I’d go back to the days Before the politics that we call the rap game And back when aint nobody listened to my mix tape And back before when
