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
(B.o.B)
Lets pretend like its 98
Like Im eatin lunch off of Stryofoam trays
Tryna be the next rapper comin out the A (A-Town)
Hoping for a record deal to ignore my pain
Now lets pretend like Im on the stage
And when my beat drops, everybody goes insane
(Okay) And everybody know my name (B.o.B)
And everywhere I go, people wanna hear me sing
Oh, yeah, I just dropped my new album
On my first week, I did 500,000 (Yes)
Gold in the spring, and diamond in the fall
And then a world tour just to top it all off
And lets pretend that they call me the greatest
Sellin out arenas with big-ass stages
And everybody loved me, and nobody hated
Just tryna 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)
(Okay) Lets pretend like this never happened
Like I never had dreams of being a rapper
Like I didnt write raps up in all of my classes
Like I never used to run away into the blackness
Now, lets pretend like it was all good (Good)
Like I didnt live starin in the notebook (Notebook)
Like I did the things that I prolly knew I should (Should)
But I aint have neighbors, thats why they call it hood
(Yeah) Now lets pretend like I aint got a name
Before they ever called me B.o.B or AKA Bobby Ray
Im talkin back before the mixtapes
Before the videos and the deals and the fame
Before they ever once compared me to Andre (Three Stacks)
Before I ever got on MySpace
Before they ever noticed my face
So lets just pretend
And make wishes out of airplanes
....
And it seems like yesterday
It was just a dream
But those days are gone
Theyre just memories
And it seems like yesterday
It was just a dream
But those days are gone
(Eminem)
Lets pretend Marshall Mathers never picked up a pen
Lets pretend things wouldve been no different
Pretend he procrastinated, had no motivation
Pretend he just made excuses that were so paper-thin
They could blow way with the wind
Marshall, youre never gonna make it
Makes no sense to play the game, aint no way that youll 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 wasnt time to move and schools werent changin again
He wasnt socially awkward and just strange as a kid
He had a father and his mother wasnt crazy as shit
And he never dreamed that he could rip stadiums
And just lazy as shit
Fuck a talent show and a gymnasium, bitch
You wont amount to shit, quit daydreamin, kid
You need to get your cranium checked
Youre thinkin like an alien, it just aint realistic
Now pretend that they aint just make him angry with this shit
And there was no one he could
And his alarm went off to wake him
But he didnt make it to the Rap Olympics
Slept through his plane and he missed it
Hes gon have a hard time explaining to Hailie and Laney
These food stamps and this WIC shit
Cause he never risked shit, he hoped and he wished it
But it didnt fall in his lap, so he aint even here
He pretends that
