Yeah, I wish the President would stop lyin`
Black babies would stop cryin`
And you brothers would stop dyin`
I wish the police would stop killin`
Politicans stop stealin` and actin` like they not dealin`
When they know they got bricks on the street
At the country club, fixin` to eat
I can see `em now
I wish we`d get this shit figured out
And stop goin` the trigger route
And actin` all niggered out
On the block with the nine cocked
I wish we try and stop, stop pushin` for the prime box
I wish we wasn`t so obsessed with death
Tell me is it cuz we blessed with less?
I don`t know really
I wish the world was safer, I`m scared to travel abroad
That`s why I travel with the Lord
I wish a cab would stop for me in the rain
I know you wanna call me insane
I`m a dreamer

I wish my pops didn`t die when I was seven years old
If there`s life after death, is Heaven this cold?
I wish I could wipe the tears of all the cryin` mothers
Wish New York niggas didn`t start flyin` colors
I wish my people stop avoidin` the truth
BET stop poisonin` youth
We need changes for teenagers as they go through phases
More than just a concrete jungle, the world got green acres
I wish I`d been more diligent
Smart cats rhyme militant
The fresh rhyme ignorant
I wish the world didn`t give us funny looks
Think we all just dummies and crooks
Athletes and entertainers singin` hooks
We need more black babies that`s in the books (read on)
I wish God could take away the pain
I know you wanna call me insane
I`m a dreamer

I wish I didn`t get searched when I come through customs
I wish Christians stop beefin` with Muslims
Wish the poor didn`t have to take welfare
Wish America had universal health care
Cuz ain`t no help here
In a country where we don`t fight fair
The American Dream becomes a nightmare
It`s all hype here
And on this track, bust all I might bear
I wish Bush just get out of office (get out!)
Before he start World War III and try to off us
It won`t cost them, but it will cost us
And right now, believe me, you lost us
