I could REALLY use a wish right now...

One of my favorite songs this week is "Airplanes" by B.o.B., featuring Hayley Williams. One version also features Eminem but I don't particularly like his part of the song. Little too much undesirable language... Anyway, lyrics! Sans-Eminem version... With a few minor curse changes. :)

Airplanes

~Chorus~

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) 
 
Yeah 
I could use a dream or a genie or a wish 
To go back to a place much simpler than this 
Cause after all the partying 
The smashing and crashing 
And all the glitz and the glam and the fashion 
And all the pandemonium and all the madness 
There comes a time when you fade to the blackness 
When you're staring at that phone in your lap 
And hopin' but them people never call you back 
But that's just how the story unfolds 

You get another hand 

Soon after you fold 

And when your plans unravel in the sand 
What would you wish for if you had one chance? 
So airplanes airplanes 
Sorry I'm late 
I'm on my way 
So don't close that gate 
If I don't make that 
Then I switch my flight 
And I'll be right back at it 
By the end of the night 

~Chorus~

Yeah, Yeah 
Somebody take me back to the days 
Before this was a job 
Before I got paid 
Before it ever mattered what I had in my bank 
Yeah back when I was trying to get a tip at Subway 
Back when I was rapping for the heck of it 
But now days we rapping to stay relevant 
I'm guessing that if we can make some wishes out of airplanes 
Then maybe oh maybe I'll go back to the days 
Before the politics that we call the rap game 
And back when ain't nobody listened to my mixtape 
And back before I tried to cover up my slang 
But this is for decater 
What's up Bobby Ray 
So can I get a wish to end the politics 
And get back to the music that started this stuff 
So here I stand 
And then again I say 
I'm hoping we can make some wishes out of airplanes 

~Chorus~

Such a good song! I'll admit... The fact that Hayley Williams is in it definitely influences my love for it. She's got an AMAZING voice. I love most of her music with Paramore, and to hear her rap is pretty awesome. :) Plus... Who wouldn't love to get an extra wish every so often?

My poem or whatever will have to wait until later... I've got to go to the Health Department and get a food handler's permit... And I've got a rehearsal for Music Man from 7-10. 

So. Until later.
