Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now
Wish right now wish right now
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now
Wish right now wish right now
Dreaming
Oh oh oh oh
Of falling
Dreaming
Oh oh oh oh
Of falling
Ya let's pretend like it's '98
Like I'm eating lunch off of Styrofoam trays
Trying to be the next rapper coming out the A
Hoping for a record deal to ignore my pain
Now let's pretend like I'm on a stage
And when my beat drops
Everybody goes insane
Okay
And everybody know my name
And everywhere I go
People wanna hear me sing
Oh yeah
And I just dropped my new album
On the first week
I did Five-Hundred Thousand
Gold in the spring and diamond in the fall
And then a world tour
Just to top it all off
And let's pretend like they called me
The greatest selling out arenas
With big ass stages
And everybody loved me
And no one ever hated
Let's try to use imagination
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now
Wish right now wish right now
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky are like shooting stars
I could really use a 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
Like I didn't live staring in a notebook
Like I did the things that
I probably knew I should
But I ain't have neighbours
That's why they call it hood
Now let's pretend like
I ain't got a name
Before they ever call me
BOB aka Bobby ray
I'm talking back before the mixtapes
Before the videos
And the deals and the fame
Before the ever once compared me to Andre
Before I ever got on myspace
Before they ever noticed my face
So let's just pretend
And make wishes out of airplanes
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now
Wish right now wish right now
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now
Wish right now wish right now
And it seems like yesterday
It was just a dream
But those days are gone
They're just memories
And it seems like yesterday
It was just a dream
But those days are gone
Alright let's pretend
Marshall Mathers never picked up a pen
Let's pretend
Things would have been no different
Pretend he procrastinated
Had no motivation
Pretend he just made excuses
That were so paper thin
They could blow away with the wind
Marshall you're never gonna make it
Makes no sense to play the game
There ain't no way that you'll win
Pretend he just stayed outside all day
And played with his friends
Pretend he even had a friend
To say was his friend
And it wasn't time to move
And schools weren't changing again
He wasn't socially awkward
And just strange as a kid
He had a father and his mother
Wasn't crazy as shit
And he never dreamed
He could rip stadiums and just lazy as shit
Fuck a talent show in a gymnasium
Bitch
You won't amount to shit
Quit daydreaming kid
You need to get your cranium checked
You thinking like an alien
It just ain't realistic
Now pretend
They ain't just make him angry with this shit
And there was no one
He could even aim when he's pissed it
And his alarm went off to wake him off
But he didn't make it to the Rap Olympics
Slept through his plane and he missed it
He's gon' have a hard time
Explaining to Hailey and Lainie
These food stamps and this WIC shit
Cause he never risked shit
He hoped and he wished it
But it didn't fall in his lap
So he ain't even here
He pretends that
Airplanes in the night sky
Like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now
Wish right now wish right now
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now
Wish right now wish right now
