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)
Of falling (Mm)
Dreaming (Oh)
Of falling (Yeah, yeah)
Let's pretend like it's '98
Like I'm eatin' lunch off of Styrofoam trays
Tryna be the next rapper comin' out the A'
Hopin' for a record deal to ignore my pain
Now let's pretend like I'm on the 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 call me the greatest
Sellin' 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? (Shooting stars)
I could really use a wish right now (Wish right now)
Wish right now (Wish right now), wish right now (Wish right now)
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky are like shooting stars? (Shooting stars)
I could really use a wish right now (Wish right now)
Wish right now (Wish right now), wish right now (Wish right now)
Okay, let's pretend like this never happened (Never)
Like I never had dreams of bein' a rapper (Rapper)
Like I didn't write raps up in all of my classes (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 starin' in a notebook (Notebook)
Like I did the things that I probably knew I should (Should)
But I ain't have neighbors, that's why they call it hood (Yeah)
Now let's pretend like I ain't got a name (Nah)
Before they ever called me B.o.B or a.k.a. Bobby Ray
I'm talkin' back before the mixtapes (Yeah, yeah)
Before the videos and the deals and the fame (Yeah)
Before they ever once compared me to Andre
Before I ever got a MySpace (Yeah)
Before they ever noticed my face (Yeah)
So let's just pretend, and make wishes out of airplanes
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky are like shooting stars? (Shooting stars)
I could really use a wish right now (Wish right now)
Wish right now (Wish right now), wish right now (Wish right now)
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky are like shooting stars? (Shooting stars)
I could really use a wish right now (Wish right now)
Wish right now (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 (Oh)
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 could 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 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 changin' 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
Screw a talent show in a gymnasium, bitch
You won't amount to shit, quit daydreamin', kid
You need to get your cranium checked
You're thinkin' like an alien, it just ain't realistic
Now pretend they had just make him angry with this shit
And there was no one he could even aim when he's pissed at
And his alarm went off to wake him, but he didn't make it
To the Rap Olympics, left to explain and he missed it
He's gon' have a hard time explainin' to Hayley and Lainey
These food stamps and this rich 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 are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now
Wish right now, wish right now
Do 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
Mm, oh-oh-oh
Mm, mm
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
