CHORUS. Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are. like shooting stars. I could really use a wish right now a wish right now a wish right now. Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are. like shooting stars. I could really use a wish right now a wish right now a wish right now. VERSE ONE. Lets pretend like its 98 like I?m eating lunch off of a Styrofoam trey. Trying to be the next rapper coming out the A. Hoping for a record deal to re-know my pain. Now lets pretend like I?m on the stage. And when my beat drops everybody goes insane (Ok). And everybody know my name (B.o.B). And everywhere I go people wanna hear me sang. Oh yea and I just dropped my new album. On the first week I did 500thousand. 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. Selling out arenas with big ass stages. And everybody loved me and no one ever hated. Let?s try to use imagination. CHORUS. Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are. like shooting stars. I could really use a wish right now a wish right now a wish right now. Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are. like shooting stars. I could really use a wish right now a wish right now a wish right now. VERSE TWO. Ok let?s pretend like this never happened. Like I never had dreams of being a rapper. Like I didn?t write raps in all of my classes. Like I never use to runaway into the blackness. Now let?s pretend like it was all-good. Like I didn?t live starring in a notebook. Like I did the things I probably knew I should. But I didn?t have neighbors that?s why they call it hood. Now lets pretend like I aint got a name. Before they ever called me B.o.B or a.k.a Bobby Ray. I?m talking back before the mixtapes. Before the videos and the deals and the fame. Before they once compared me to Andre. Before I ever got my space. Before they ever noticed my face. So let?s just pretend and make wishes out of. airplanes. CHORUS (X2). Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are. like shooting stars. I could really use a wish right now a wish right now a wish right now. Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are. like shooting stars. I could really use a wish right now a wish right now a wish right now. BRIDGE. And it seems like yesterday it was just a dream. But those days are gone there just memories. And it seems like yesterday it was just a dream. But those days are gone. VERSE THREE (EMINEM). Let?s Pretend Marshall Mathers never picked up a pen. Let?s pretend things would?ve been no different. Pretend people procrastinated had no motivation. Pretend he just made excuses that was so paper thin they could blow away wit the wind. Marshal you never gone make it makes no sense to play the game it ain?t no way that?ll you win. Pretend he just stand out side all day and play with his friends. Pretend he even had a friend to say was his friend. And it wasn?t time to move in school no changing. again. He wasn?t socially awakard and just strange as a kid. He had a father and his mother wasn?t crazy as shit. And he never dreamed he can ripped stadiums he just lazy as shit. Fuck a talent show in the gymnasium bitch. You won?t amount to shit quit day dreaming kid. You need to get ya cranium check 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 with. And his alarm went off to wake him but he did?nt make it to the rap Olympics. Left to his plane and he missed it. He?s gonna have a hard time explaining to Haley and maybe these food stamps and WIC shit. Cause he neverrisked shit he hoped and he wished it. But it didn?t fall in his lap so he ain?t even hear it he pretends that. CHORUS. Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are. like shooting stars. I could really use a wish right now a wish right now a wish right now. Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are. like shooting stars. I could really use a wish right now a wish right now a wish right now
