Wishful Thinking

Lyrics

[Chorus: Fat Joe, Kool G Rap, (Big Pun), (B-Real)] What would you do if you could do the unbelievable? Once you rule the world, every girl would want to be with you (First I get the money, then I get the power) (B-Real, off to kill – eliminatin' the cowards) [Verse 1: B-Real] Thinkin' of takin' a plane, to take a flight out to the Red Light And smuggle ten pounds of weed, make it home tonight Be the number one smuggler in the area Got enough weight to fill up an aircraft carrier Herb slanger, Hustler Incorporated State to state and overseas, gettin' faded The buddha king, I've seen the green grow tall I'm bringing it all, right back home to ya'll Many different strains of herb in my brain I'm slippin' through customs in my hydro-plane Skunk, indo and Chocolate Thai bud Niggas, let's get high in the sky, hit the blunts And the bongs, fill up the lungs, niggas don't stop Fools get sprung when they get to smoke up the crops I give props for all the soldiers in the war Joe – what would you do if the world was yours? [Chorus: Kool G Rap, Big Pun, (B-Real), (Fat Joe)] Aiyyo! What would you do if you could do the unbelievable? Once you rule the world, every girl would want to be with you (First I get the money, then I get the power) (Joey Crack, twistin' caps – enemies, I devour) [Verse 2: Fat Joe] It was only a dream, 16, battin' Beamers and Benz's Laying pendants with diamonds endless, lacing the face with a vengeance Having blocks owned in the livest parts known By mankind; with crime is how you shine if you can't rhyme Dime-droppers will give you Fed time if you sleep But my mystique will be mastering heat on city streets And in the East, I be known as Don Cartegena Claimin' the throne like Calderon in this heron arena Lacin' the China with moneda, this felony repeater will be a leader Like your preacher, but so much deeper Peep the shit that I be on, sippin' Dom until I'm drunk With a million in my trunk, like Nicky Barnes – come on! I be the top extortionist Adopt a thousand foster kids right out the motherfuckin' orphanage Yeah! I do it for the youth I'm livin' proof – all my peeps on the streets know I speak the truth [Chorus: Big Pun, B-Real, (Fat Joe), (Kool G Rap)] What would you do if you could do the unbelievable? Once you rule the world, every girl would want to be with you (First you get the money, then you get the power) (G Rap bustin' the gats and slangin' 'Lacs by the hour) [Verse 3: Kool G Rap] No doubt, I be the crime story of all ghetto territories Soldiers at war be blowin' up niggas like Glory With pharmaceutical laboratories, majored in Chemistry PhD in Streetology, degree in Drug Industry Combinin' H₂O with matter from crack batter Residue molecules scatter Launchin' rockets to make the pockets fatter Mind brighter than Einstein's for crime G equals the MC that ain't near the square – son, I gets mine But yo, a killer feels with force fields and shields and holdin' steel A nigga keep it real, you know the deal If the stakes ain't too high for me to grab it – I gots to have it Stacked all the cabbage from conducting the drug traffic Police'll chain me in, try to find a new plot to frame me in, arraign me in So I resort to evil thoughts like Damien Display my fury, to the D.A. and the jury One hundred grand – the judge's hammer slams, I'm a free man [Chorus: B-Real, Fat Joe, (Kool G Rap), (Big Pun)] What would you do if you could do the unbelievable? Once you rule the world, every girl would want to be with you (First you get the money, and then you get the power) (Big Pun's the same, son – bustin' my guns for the dollars) [Verse 4: Big Pun, (Fat Joe)] Yo, I walk on water, spit fire, and shit Häagen-Dazs Idolize no man, like Conan, and stand beside the gods P larger than life, twice as nice as your idol Pump you with pride, then guide you straight to Hell, like the Bible I'm liable to start manipulatin' minds, infiltrate and climb Out the pitfalls of life, entice with nickle-plated nine It seems every time I dream, I'm in a nightmare I fiend to live in a world where Mothers and queens of men would fight fair (Hell yeah!) "I wish I could, I wish I could..." Never forget – this whole damn world ain't shit, not just the hood Yo, I'd change my life, make my wife forget the tears From the pain and the physical abuse, give her back her best years Grab my chest hairs, pound my fist on the hard cement Spark the scent, and cloud the sky to my heart's content Repent, if thou shall be forgiven How could we be proud to live in A world which condemns man, child, and women? (Child and women... child and women...) Child and women... (Child and women...)
