Wish

I wish I had of learned at school

And not broken all the rules

Sitting at the back of the class

Being a clown and a class room fool.

 

I wish I had of gone into care

As my momma didn’t really care

And my daddy wasn’t ever there

I wish I could have breathed different air

 

I wish I had made the grades to go to college

Make my teachers proud and astonished

Showing the world what I could accomplish

But instead I was rebuked and admonished

 

I wish I could go to university

And still pay my bills, get a college degree

Still the tax man’s chasing me

And my baby mommas hollering at me

 

Wish I had a different job

Wish I wasn’t lazy and a slob

Wish I could take the credit as the boss

But instead I’m down and out,

Dead beat like a lame mongrel dog

 

Wish I could make a bit more money

I know this is gonna sound real funny

I’d by a yaught or Lamborghini

And may give some pocket change to charity

 

Wish I hadn’t of smoked that weed

Played it cool and read Socrates

All that money waste now I’m down on my knees

In an asylum for the mentally deranged

 

Wish I hadn’t of got psychosis

I don’t know how to declare or approach this

Burned down my flat hoping that someone would take notice

Now all I have in my head is a reoccurring photograph

Pictures reoccurring like sex flicks...

 

Now I want a lot of things Gucci clothes and them diamond rings

Fancy cars, women and those finer things

But I’m looking like a gold fish

Out of a bowl on a world out of reach

Smoke the pipe and pass the peace

 

Brother one day turned to me

Said man if you give your heart

To Lucifer’s dreams

All you’ll get is polluted streams

And you’ll never be able to reach your dreams

Looking for the land of milk and honey

He gives you pipe dreams

 

On the other hand, might sound strange to you

If you want real dreams and truth

Identity and a vision and a future too

Christ is knocking, brah deep down

You really know what you must do

 

So I deliberate and think what I’m gonna do

Food for thought, there’s a ring of truth

Throw away the pipe forget those new Nike shoes

Give my life to Christ and have a different view..
