[Chorus: 2x – Hayley] 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
[Verse 1: B.o.B] 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
[Chorus: 2x – Hayley]
[Verse 2: B.o.B] 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 of airplanes Then maybe oh maybe I’d go back to the days Before the politics that we call the rap game And back when ain’t nobody listened to my mix tape And back before when I tried to cover up my slang But this is for the Decatur what’s up Bobby Ray So can I get a wish to end the politics And get back to the music that started this shit So here I stand and then again I say I’m hopin we can make some wishes outa airplanes
[Chorus: 2x – Hayley] [B.o.B - Verse 1] Lets pretend like its 98, like I’m eating lunch off of Styrofoam treys Trying to be the next rapper coming out the A Hoping for a record deal, to re-know my pain Now lets 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 500 thousand Gold in the spring and diamond in the fall And then a world tour just to top it all off And lets pretend like they call me the greatest Selling out arenas with big ass stages And everybody loved me and no one ever hated Lets try to use imagination
[Chorus - Hailey Williams]
[B.o.B - Verse 2] Ok, 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 lets 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 neighbours that’s why they call it hood Now lets pretend like I aint 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
[Chorus - Hailey Williams]
(And it seems like yesterday it was just a dream, just memories)
[Eminem - Verse 3] Let’s Pretend Marshall Mathers never picked up a pen Let’s pretend things would’ve been no different Pretend people 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 awakard and just strange as a kid He had a father and h
