lyrics R.Kelly

I wish, I wish, I wish
To every city
I wish, I wish, I wish
Every hood
I wish, I wish, I wish
And every block
I wish, I wish, I wish
Good Ol' America!

Rollin' through the hood
Just stopped by to say what's up
Came to let you know
That your baby boy ain't doing so tough
And even though you passed
Going on four long years
Still waking up late at night crying tears
Just thinking about those days
You used to talk to me
Smilin' while I'm sippin' on this Hennesy
And remember we bragged on how rich we would be

R.Kelly - I Wish

I wish, I wish, I wish
To every city
I wish, I wish, I wish
Every hood
I wish, I wish, I wish
And every block
I wish, I wish, I wish
Good Ol' America!

Rollin' through the hood
Just stopped by to say what's up
Came to let you know
That your baby boy ain't doing so tough
And even though you passed
Going on four long years
Still waking up late at night crying tears
Just thinking about those days
You used to talk to me
Smilin' while I'm sippin' on this Hennesy
And remember we bragged on how rich we would be
To get up out this hood was like a fantasy

And now you hear my songs the radio is bangin'
Oh I can't believe my ears
And what everybody's sayin'
And boy I'll tell you
Folks don't know the half
I would give it all up
Just to take one ride

(With you)
How I used to kick it on the front porch
(With you)
And how I used to lay back and smoke weed
(With you)
And all the little days and party joints we'd do
Now I'm just missing you
How I wish

I wish that I could hold you now
I wish that I could touch you now
I wish that I could talk to you
Be with you somehow
I know you're in a better place
And you know I can see your face
I know you're smiling down on me
Saying everything's okay
And if I never leave this thug life
I'll see you again someday
I wish, I wish, I wish
I wish, I wish, I wish

Now ever since this money come
Been nothing but stress
Sometimes I wish I could trade in my success
Y'all look at me and say boy you've been blessed
But y'all don't see the inside of my unhappiness
Man I swear this shit gets heavy like a ton
That's why you hear me shootin'
This real shit off like a gun
Hmm I wonder how my friends would treat me now
If I wasn't iced up with a Bentley and a house
That's why fake ass niggas get fake ass digits
And fake ass playas get a real playa hatin' 'em
Honey Love goes platinum and y'all ass come around
But y'all don't wanna raise the roof
Until my shit is going down

And now you hear my songs the radio is bangin'
Oh I can't believe my ears
And what everybody's sayin'
And boy I'll tell you
Folks don't know the half
I would give it all up
Just to take one ride

(With you)
How I used to hoop off in them tournaments
(With you)
And how I used to club hop on weekends
(With you)
Your family called the morning of the tragic end
Damn, my condolensces

I wish that I could hold you now
I wish that I could touch you now
I wish that I could talk to you
Be with you somehow
I know you're in a better place
And you know I can see your face
I know you're smiling down on me
Saying everything's okay
And if I never leave this thug life
I'll see you again someday
I wish, I wish, I wish
I wish, I wish, I wish

Voices in my head be telling me to come to church
Saying the Lord is the only way for you to stop the hurt
Dreaming of windows black tinted like a hurst
When waking up to life sometimes seems worst
And all I ever wanted is to be a better man
And I try to keep it real with my homies now
For me to save the world I don't understand
How did I become the leader of a billion men?

And now you hear my songs the radio is bangin'
Oh I can't believe my ears
And what everybody's sayin'
And boy I'll tell you
Folks don't know the half
I would give it all up
Just to take one ride

(With you)
How I used to street perform on Friday
(With you)
And how I used to go to church on Easter Sunday
(With you)
Standing here throwing them songs at me
Somebody pray for me

I wish that I could hold you now
I wish that I could touch you now
I wish that I could talk to you
Be with you somehow
I know you're in a better place
And you know I can see your face
I know you're smiling down on me
Saying everything's okay
And if I never leave this thug life
I'll see you again someday
I wish, I wish, I wish
I wish, I wish, I wish


R Kelly
Gotham City


Im lookin over the skyline of the city.
How loud quiet nights in the mist of crime.
How next door the happiness lives sorrow,
And signals of solution in the sky.

CHORUS
A city of justice,a city of love, a city of peace
for every one of us.
We all need it, can't live without it
Gothem City (ohhh yah)

How sleeping awake because of fear. (ohh yah)
How children are drowning in thier tears.
How we need a place where we can go,
A land where every one will have a hero (even me)

CHORUS

CHORUS

Yet in the middle of stormy weather,
We wont' stumble and won't fall..
I know a place where all this shelter...

CHORUS



R. Kelly
I Believe I Can Fly


I used to think that I could not go wrong
And life was nothing but that an awful song
But now I know the meaning of true love
I'm leaning on the everlasting arms

If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

CHORUS
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
Oh I believe I can fly

See I was on the verge of breaking down
Sometimes inside us, it can seem so long
There are miracles in life I must achieve
But first I know it starts inside of me

Could I believe in it?
If I can see it, then I can be it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it

CHORUS

R. Kelly
I Can't Sleep Baby (If I)

Where did it go, my baby, where did it go, my darling
Tell me how to get you back in my heart again

Girl I must have been crazy, to say that it was over
I had to be a fool, to yell out we were through
And now I'm all lonely and feeling down and out, baby
When I never meant for this to end
It was so, so crazy of me
Sometimes a man can say things that he really don't mean
Well I'm sorry baby, bring your lovin' back to me

CHORUS
I can't sleep babe, I can't think babe
I can't live babe, without you in my life
I can't go on babe, this is my song baby
Don't wanna do nothin' if I go away baby
And I can't do nothin' if you're not around, baby

Can we meet somewhere and talk about it
Oh, baby, can we work it out
I'm not going to let you go, my baby
Before I let you know that I

CHORUS
I can't sleep babe no way, I can't think babe
I can't live babe, without you in my life
Don't want to go on babe, this is my song baby
I Don't wanna do nothin' if I...I can't be with you, baby
I can't sleep babe, I can't sleep, I can't think babe
I don't think that I can ever live...

Just the thought of you being gone
Keeps me up all night long, oh-oh

I don't think that I could ever live
I can't live babe, there's just no way that I...
Oh, oh, oh, oh...babe
Can't gone on, this is my song
