Wish You Could

[Bridge]
We used to be friends
Yeah, we used to yeah
Ain't no shaking hands, I refuse to yeah
Some people just never change
But, I might make the same mistakes

[Pre-Chorus]
I mean I wish you the best, but I gotta leave you
You know I can't stay when all you do is use people
Won't live and die from approval, cuz I don't need it
Wish you could see what I see when I see you

[Chorus]
And I wish you could
And I wish you could
Oh, I wish you could
I wish you really would
I wish you really would

[Verse 1]
Man, if I ever had it, it was yours
I went from being poor to tryna be on tour
I'm seeing more beyond doors
Turned "nice-to-meet-yahs" into bonjour
I do it man, do it man
Close my eyes, view it man
I'm in the clouds, I see the lines
I drew in sands (That's right!)
I'm face to face with them like it's you again
This is way bigger than just getting known
This is way more than just being known
This is about my city and my day ones
If God is with me, I won't change nuthin'
Lord protect me from all that shade
And Let your Son raise me till I'm unashamed
I gotta son to raise and like a summer's day
Let your sun of rays shine upon my ways
But I sing

[Bridge]
We used to be friends
Yeah, we used to yeah
Ain't no shaking hands, I refuse to yeah
Some people just never change
But, I might make the same mistakes

[Pre-Chorus]
I mean I wish you the best, but I gotta leave you
You know I can't stay when all you do is use people
Won't live and die from approval, cuz I don't need it
Wish you could see what I see when I see you

[Chorus]
And I wish you could
And I wish you could
Oh, I wish you could
I wish you really would
I wish you really would

[Verse 2]
I'm from that south side of Jers'
Huh, south side of Jers'
This nuthin' you ain't heard, but
I wanted to be first (Let's go!)
Man, I ain't make it out the hood yet
But, I feel I'm on the verge
On my best day, I needed God
Just as much as on my worst
I never had nuthin, never had nuthin
Born gifted, put a wrap on it
Everything came with a padlock on it
Singing on key and coming back
I wanted
The type of love that's unconditional
The type that makes me feel invincible
The type of love that loves to see you doing better
I hope I die by that princible
But I sing

[Bridge]
We used to be friends
Yeah, we used to yeah
Ain't no shaking hands, I refuse to yeah
Some people just never change
But, I might make the same mistakes

[Pre-Chorus]
I mean I wish you the best, but I gotta leave you
You know I can't stay when all you do is use people
Won't live and die from approval, cuz I don't need it
Wish you could see what I see when I see you

[Chorus]
And I wish you could
And I wish you could
Oh, I wish you could
I wish you really would
I wish you really would

[Outro]
I'm from that south side of Jers'
I'm from that south side of Jers'
I'm from that south side of Jers'
I'm from that south side of Jers'
I'm from that south south south side
I'm from that south south south side
I'm from that south side of Jers'
I'm from that
