B.o.B. – Airplanes Lyrics

Airplanes Lyrics

[Chorus Hayley Williams]
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)

[Verse 1 B.o.B]
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 partyin’ and smashin’ and crashin’
And all the glitz and the glam and the fashion
And all the pandemonium and all the madness
There comes a time where you fade to the blackness
And when you’re staring at that phone in your lap
And you hoping 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
And they sayin’ what would you wish for
If you had one chance
So airplane airplane sorry I’m late
I’m on my way so don’t close that gate
If I don’t make that then I’ll switch my flight
And I’ll be right back at it by the end of the night

[Chorus Hayley Williams]

[Verse 2 B.o.B]
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 tryin’ to get a tip at subway
And back when I was rappin’ for the hell of it
But now a days we rappin’ to stay relevant
I’m guessin that if we can make some wishes outta airplanes
Then maybe yo 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 mix tape
And back before I tried to cover up my slang
But this is for the decatur, what’s up Bobby Ray
So can I get a wish to end the politics
And get back to the music that started this shit
So here I stand and then again I say
I’m hopin’ we can make some wishes outta airplanes?

B.o.B – The Kids Lyrics

The Kids Lyrics

Drug boy said it’s show time
Streets don’t give a damn
They filled with such pollution
The kids don’t stand a chance

We’re trapped inside the matrix
Forced to play our hand
We’re fill with so much hatred
The kids don’t stand a chance

I said the kids don’t, the kids don’t stand, the kids don’t stand a chance
I said the kids don’t, the kids don’t stand, the kids don’t stand a chance

Well, since I was planted at birth
I abandoned my own planet and I landed on earth
As I kid I never understood what I observed
Some of it was strange but most of it disturbed me
Always in detention for the lack of my attention
You could call it deficit, really I just didn’t listen
And I was always missin’
The teachers like, where is bobby simons?
But tryna get a record deal is all I can I remember
It’s funny cause lookin back on the past that I had all my days in the streets tryna prove that I was bad
I still elevated to the level that i’m at
Still elevated to the level that i’m at

Drug boy said it’s show time
Streets don’t give a damn
They filled with such pollution
The kids don’t stand a chance

We’re trapped inside the matrix
Forced to play our hand
We’re fill with so much hatred

The kids don’t stand a chance

I said the kids don’t, the kids don’t stand, the kids don’t stand a chance
I said the kids don’t, the kids don’t stand, the kids don’t stand a chance

Sometimes it’s hard to grow
While livin in fear of the unknown
How can he ever give love
When no love is in his heart?
A child can barely see that i
Do worry bout tomorrow
And what it beholds,
He drowns himself
Deep down in his sorrow
Will you run or will you share your light
Tell a story of the live and try
See it when we’re given hope
That we know that we can grow

Drug boy said it’s show time
Streets don’t give a damn
They filled with such pollution
The kids don’t stand a chance

We’re trapped inside the matrix
Forced to play our hand
We’re fill with so much hatred
The kids don’t stand a chance

I said the kids don’t, the kids don’t stand, the kids don’t stand a chance
I said the kids don’t, the kids don’t stand, the kids don’t stand a chance
