Airplanes

## Lyrics

**Portia:**

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

Uh hmm oh oh oh ooo

Uhu mm aalalalaa

Uhm...oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

**Joe:**

Yeah yo, let's pretend like it's '98

Like I'm eatin' lunch off of Styrofoam trays

Trying to be the next rapper coming out the A (A-Town)

Hoping for a record deal to ignore my pain

Yeah, now let's pretend like I'm on the stage

And when my beat drops everybody goes insane

Okay, and everybody know my name (Bob)

And everywhere I go people want to hear me sang

Oh yeah, and I just dropped my new album

On the first week I did 500 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

Selling out arenas with big ass stages

And everybody loved me and no one ever hated

Let's try to use imagination

**Portia:**

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

**Joe:**

Okay, let's pretend like this never happened

Like I never had dreams of being a rapper

Like I didn't write raps up in all of my 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 staring in the notebook

Like I did the things that I probably knew I should

But I ain't have neighbors, that's why they call it hood

Yo, now let's pretend like I ain't 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 ever once compared (**Portia:** Oooh) me to Andre (3000)

Before I ever got on MySpace

Before they ever noticed my face

 So let's just pretend, and make wishes out of airplanes

**Portia:**

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

**Joe and Mason:**

And it seems like yesterday, it was just a dream

But those days are gone, they're just memories (**Portia:** Oooh)

And it seems like yesterday, it was just a dream

But those days are gone

**Mason:**

Let's pretend Marshall Mathers never picked up a pen

Let's pretend things would've 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'll 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 changing 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

Fuck a talent show in the gymnasium, bitch

"You won't amount to shit, quit daydreaming kid

You need to get your cranium checked

You're 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 at

And his alarm went off to wake him but he didn't make it to the Rap Olympics

Slept through his plane and he missed it

He's gon' have a hard time explaining to Hailie and Lainey

These food stamps and this WIC 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

**Portia:**

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

Uh hmm oh oh oh ooo

Uhu mm aalalalaa

Uhm...oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Uhm...oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

La la la la

Laaaaaaaa Laaaaaaaa
