BoB - B.o.B Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray Album Lyrics

[Chorus: B.O.B]
Well it was just a dream
Just a moment ago
I was up so high,
Lookin down at the sky
Don't let me fall
I was shooting for stars, on a Saturday night
They say what goes up, must come down
But don't let me fall
Don't let me fall
Don't let me fall
They say what goes up, must come down
But don't let me fall
Don't let me fall

[Verse 1:]
Cause I'm gliding up there o so very high
That if the, clouds were to drop me then I'd, fall out the sky
I don't really, know why I'm here I guess I'm just here for the ride
I swear it feels like I'm dreaming it's vividly defined yah
So call me whatever you want
Tie me to whatever you like
But let's get one thing straight
You know my name so I run this town when I'm on this mic yeah
So here I go B.O.B, Bobby Ray, I don't know, need I know
But I know, that I float, rack em up knock em down, dominos
Then I go, as-my-story goes, I done one thing down here before
Product my east-acator home, cause I was in the cold tryna keep my toes unfroze
Now I'm in your house, now I'm in your stove, now I'm everywhere that your ipod go
Everything I seen, was a dream, just a moment ago

[Chorus]

[Verse 2:]
Yah by far much lower than where that pavement is
Cause there ain't no parachute that they can make for this
Cause I put my pain, my heart, my soul, my faith in this
Does anyone feel like how I would feel then you can relate to this
Uh just blaze of this, maybe roll one up then take a hit
Toast to the good life then take a sip
Vaca everyday yeah take a trip
It's easy to see I was made for this
From the womb all the way to grave I spit
Just to show ya'll n-ggas what greatness is
Yah, I'm talking very loosely
Like making movies, to picture my life, boy you need a higher resolution
I used to, cut class in the day then runaway at night
But now I'm ruler of the upper class and I don't even Write

[Chorus]

Fall [x13]

Beautiful girls all over the world
I could be chasing but my time would be wasted
They got nothin' on you baby
Nothin' on you baby

They might say hi and I might say hey
But you shouldn't worry about what they say
'Cause they got nothin' on you baby
Nothin' on you baby

No' no' no' nothin' on you babe
No' no' nothin' on you
I know you feel where I'm coming from
Regardless of the things in my past that I've done
Most of it really was for the hell of the fun
On the carousel so around I spun (Spun)
With no directions just tryna get some (Some)
Tryna chase skirts, living in the summer sun (Sun)
An' so I lost more than I had ever won
And honestly I ended up with none

There's so much nonsense
It's on my conscience
I'm thinking baby I should get it out
And I don't wanna sound redundant
But I was wondering, if there was something that you wanna know
(That you wanna know)
But never mind that we should let it go (We should let it go)
'Cause we don't wanna be a t.v episode (T.V. episode)
And all the bad thoughts just let them go (Go, go, go)

Beautiful girls all over the world
I could be chasing but my time would be wasted
They got nothin' on you baby
(No' no' no' nothin' on you babe)
(No' no' nothin' on you)
Nothin' on you baby
(No' no' no' nothin' on you babe)
(No' no' nothin' on you)
They might say hi (hi) and I might say hey (Hey)
But you shouldn't worry about what they say
'Cause they got nothin' on you baby
(No' no' no' nothin' on you babe)
(No' no' nothin' on you)
Nothin' on you baby
(No' no' no' nothin' on you babe)
(No' no' nothin' on you)

Hands down there will never be another one
I been around and I never seen another one
Because your style I ain't really got nothin' on
And you wow when you got nothin' on?
Baby you the whole package plus you pay your taxes
And you keep it real while them other stay plastic
You're my Wonder Women call me Mr. Fantastic
Stop, now think about it

I've been to London, I've been to Paris
Even way out there in Tokyo
Back home down in Georgia to New Orleans
But you always steal the show (steal the show)
And just like that girl you got a fro (Got a fro)
Like a Nintendo 64 (64)
If you never knew well now you know (Know, know, know)

Beautiful girls all over the world (All over)
I could be chasing but my time would be wasted (Haha)
They got nothin' on you baby
(No' no' no' nothin' on you babe)
(No' no' nothin' on you)
Nothin' on you baby
(No' no' no' nothin' on you babe)
(No' no' nothin' on you)
They might say hi (hi) and I might say hey (Hey)
But you shouldn't worry about what they say (Why?)
'Cause they got nothin' on you baby
(No' no' no' nothin' on you babe)
(No' no' nothin' on you)
Nothin' on you baby
(No' no' no' nothin' on you babe)
(No' no' nothin' on you)

Everywhere I go I'm always hearing your name (Name, name)
And no matter where I'm at girl you make me wanna sing (Sing)
Whether a bus or a plane (plane) or a car or a train (Train)
No other girls in my brain and you the one to blame (Blame)

Beautiful girls all over the world (All over)
I could be chasing but my time would be wasted (Why?)
They got nothin' on you baby
(No' no' no' nothin' on you babe)
(No' no' nothin' on you)
Nothin' on you baby
(No' no' no' nothin' on you babe)
(No' no' nothin' on you)
They might say hi (hi) and I might say hey (Hello)
But you shouldn't worry about what they say (Why?)
'Cause they got nothin' on you baby
(No' no' no' nothin' on you babe)
(No' no' nothin' on you)
Nothin' on you baby
(No' no' no' nothin' on you babe)
(No' no' nothin' on you)

Yeah and that's just how we do it, ha ha
And I'ma let this ride
B-O-B and Bruno Mars

[B.o.B:]
If you asked me what's on my mind you probably won't believe it
Cause if life was one big pool I'd be in the deep end
So I play my role and never ever speak it
Like a secret
And all the while you just just to figure me out

[Chorus: B.o.B]
But you can't see past my shades
Past my shades
Past my shades
And you can't see past my shades
Past my shades
Past my shades
And you can't see past my shades
Past my shades
Past my shades
And you can't see past my shades
Past my shades
Past my shades, yeah

[B.O.B:]
Well ask me a question I tell you no lies
Cause there's nothing to hide my souls in my eyes
And I'm ahead of my time but I cannot rewind
The only thing I fear is the mirror in my bathroom
People look and try to see a disguise
But there is nothing that nobody can't see in light
If it's a song with a rhyme or a verse with a line
Then you wanna stay in my mind

[Chorus]

[Lupe Fiasco:]
Uh, who else but Lu else
You know I got two belts the black and the white one
I begin and I master
I see in my eye glasses
But they sayin' what I'm seeing through is false like Ross
I can hear him through the wall like Walk
This way they tryin' to dissuade my thoughts
I'm a slave to myself and disobey my boss
It's all in disarray this parade I walk
They get amazed when they catch a chain I toss
Amidst this array of different ways I talk
And it hangs from your brain if my chain you caught
Like I cough without covering my mouth
I tip the scales like the King of the south
Forgot that I was fat I lost my way
But now I'm back looking for the shade I saw
And not wonders, the sky summers
So don't make me take off my stunners
Bobby Ray you know you got my numbers
And them deer can't see us like hunters, aye

[Chorus]

La la la la la laaaaaaaaaa
Oh yeah
La la la la la laaaaaaaaaa
You can't see past my shades
La la la la la laaaaaaaaaa
You can't see past my shades

[Chorus]

[Chorus 1: Haylay 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 nooow!

Are like shooting stars!
I could really use a wish right now,

Trying to be the next rapper comin' out the A (A-town?)
Hoping for a record deal, to re-know my pain. (yeah!)
Now let's pretend like I'm on the stage (check!)
And when my beat drops everybody goes insane! (whooo!)
Okay! - And everybody know my name (B.o.B?)
And everywhere I go people wanna hear me sang. (hohoho!)
Oh, yeah! - And I just dropped my new album
On the first week I did 500 thousand. (yess!)
Gold in the spring! - And diamond in the fall! (okay!)
And then a world tour just to top it all off. (ohh!)
And let's pretend like they call me the greatest (yeah!)
Selling out arenas with big ass stages. (ewww!)
And everybody loved me and no one ever hated (hmm!)
Let's try to use imagination!

[Chorus 2: Haylay Williams (B.o.B)]
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 nooow! (wish right now!)
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!)

[B.o.B:]
Okay! - Let's pretend like this never happened! (yeah!)
Like I never had dreams of being a rapper! (rapper!)
Like I didn't write raps in all of my classes! (classes!)
Like I never used to runaway into the blackness! (yeah!)
Now - let's pretend like it was all-good! (good!)
Like I didn't live starring in a notebook (notebook!)
Like I did the things I probably knew I should (should!)
But I didn't have neighbours, that's why they call it hood! (yeah!)
Now let's pretend like I ain't got a name! (nah!)
Before they ever called me B.o.B or A.K.A Bobby Ray. (Bobby Ray!)
I'm talkin' back before the mixtapes (loud!)
Before the videos and the deals and the fame (yeah!)
Before they ever once compared me to Andre, (do ya thangs!)
Before I ever got MySpace! (yeah!)
Before they ever noticed my face (yeah!)
So let's just pretend - and make wishes out of airplanes. [airplanes flys away]

[Chorus 2]

[Bridge B: B.o.B + (Haylay Williams)]
And it seems like yesterday - it was just a dream!
Those days are gone - and just memories! (OOoooooooooooohhhhhhhh!)
And it seems like yesterday - it was just a dream!
Those days are gone - and just memories)

[Eminem:]
Khm! Aight! - 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 with the wind - Marshall 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 changin' 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!
F*ck 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 Hailie and Lainie these food stamps and 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 hear it! - He pretends that!

[Chorus 1]

[Outro: Haylay Williams]
OOoohhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmm-ooooooohhhhhhhh!
OOooooooooohhhhoohhhhhhh!
Hhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmm!

[Chorus: B.o.B]
Put me on anything still I bet I bust
Put me anywhere on the map I bet I bust

Put me anywhere on the map with a backpack strapped
Still I bet I bust
Bet I flow
Bet I rip this beat
Bet I feel that soul

Bet I bench these niggas like Ray, sit down bro!
Bet I know, everything about this game
Bet I know my role
Plus they know when I come to the court this is my sport
B dot o, B
So, bet I go
Bet I'm on a brand new plane
Bet I'm in a whole different zone
I ain't really form this place
So I'm up all night long
Really I'm in outterspace
Really I ain't got no home
Really I'm a saint
Bet I'm blown,
Bet I'm thrown, up to the sky
Over the ocean
So I fly wherever I'm goin
When I'm by, bet I'm focused
If it's five, you can bet I roll it
Matter of fact, you can bet I bust

[Chorus: B.o.B]

[T.I:]
Drive a brown parkin center
The king from the emma[? ]
The room with the boom in the booth, I deliver
The hottest, you prolly too small to acknowledge you
Impossible to copy like what everybody try to do
We cool as some dudes on them waves out in Malibu
I'm ballin hard baseline, fall through the alley-oop
BAM!
Comin through this thang like James in the air off the bare of my hand
Nigga jus can't. pretend you forgot my name if you wanna
I'm a come hard like a bar?
Dawn?
Make a nigga wanna rebound, turnt up, all the way, hey [? ]
2 or 3 tramp
Put em in the [? ] bentley
Nigga say he do it like us, he should mean 96, 97
[? ] have more blocks than [? ]
For those who can't hold water need a new kidney
Put it down under Australia, Sidney (bye)
And I'm still representing,
For the niggas under prison
You are tuned in, listenin
And I'm back to doing big things
A sucka lookin for me, start in yo bitch'(s) dreams
That's why I'm 20 feet tall standing on the big screen
Get dough, get green, my flow sickening,
It's the King nigga!

[Chorus: B.o.B]

[Playboy Tre:]
Yeah, back with a cup of that liquor, nigga
Ya'll don't really know Tre,
Really know me,
Really know the streets, no!
Ya'll niggas really ain't G,
Really ain't hard,
Never really served no heart,
Ya'll be playin that roll
Talkin that pimp shit,
Never really pimp shit, nah
Ya'll be singin them hoes
But I don't, and I won't
I'll get a bitch anytime I want
I'm that guy, spit that fire
Shake the ground everytime I stomp
Bit? in the trunk, cup in the air
You can talk shit but I really don't care
Man I'm in the cadillac goin direct
Gonna clack that back? cause a nigga ain't scared
I'm that red clay, East of the A?
Ya niggas get locked up everyday
Cops ain't shit so I drop that shit
[? ] make it through the day
Grindin for my pay
It's that nigga Tre
Bustin like a pistol best believe it when I say
That I bust!

[Chorus: B.o.B]

Tell me where am I supposed to go?
And who am I supposed to believe.
If only you knew what I knew.
Then you could see just what I see.

[Chorus:]
So I grab my bags and go, as far away as I can go.
Cause everything ain't what I used to know.
And I try to hide, but I just can't hide no more.
There's nothing worse than feeling like a ghost.

You say I look fine, if only you knew what's on my mind.
You'd see a whole different sign, I couldn't show you even if I tried.
I must have got lost in time when I found out I was only free to be, where ever I want to be.

Some say I'm out of sight, how I run and that we're all so blind.
If you could open up your eyes, you could see what I couldn't describe.
And then, you'd see the signs, and then your soul would be set free, and then you'd be released.

[Chorus:]
So I grab my bags and go, as far away as I can go.
Cause everything ain't what I used to know.
And I try to hide, but I just can't hide no more.
There's nothing worse than feeling like a ghost.

Tell me where am I supposed to go.
And who am I supposed to believe.
If only you knew what I knew.
Then you could see. (Hey)

[Chorus:]
So I grab my bags and go, as far away as I can go.
Cause everything ain't what I used to know.
And I try to hide, but I just can't hide no more.
There's nothing worse than feeling like a ghost.

And I'm terrified, like I've seen a UFO.
Cause everything ain't what I used to know.
And I try to hide, but I just can't hide no more.
There's nothing worse than feeling like a ghost.

(I go)
(A UFO)
(And I'm so tired of hiding, I've been running, I've been trying, to get away, to get away)

So I grab my bags and go, as far away as I can go.
Cause everything ain't what I used to know.
And I try to hide, but I just can't hide no more.
There's nothing worse than feeling like a ghost.

[Chorus:]
The drugged boy's steady show time,
The streets don't give a damn.
They're filled with such pollution.
The kids don't stand a chance.

We're trapped inside a matrix,
Forced to play our hands,
We're filled with so much hatred.
The kids don't stand a chance

[x2:]
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 a kid I never understood what I observed, and
Some of it was strange, but most of it disturbed me.

Always in detention for the lack of my attention,
You can call it deficit, but really I just didn't listen.
And I was always missing, the teacher's like where is bobby simmons but
Trying to get a record deal is all I can remember.

It's funny cause looking back to the past that I had,
All my days in the streets trying to prove that I was bad,
I still elevated to the level that I'm at
I still elevated to the level that I'm at.

[Chorus]

Sometimes it's hard to grow
While living in fear of the unknown.
How can he ever give love,
When no love is in his heart.

A child can barely sleep at night,
Too worried bout tomorrow.
And what it behold, he drowned himself,
Deep down in his sorrow.

Will you run or will you show your life,
Tell a stories, live and try.
See it when we're given hope,
That we would know we can grow.

[Chorus]

{Hi, my name is Bob, and I approve this message}

[Chorus: Rivers Cuomo]
I got the magic in me
Everytime I touch that track it turns into gold
Everybody knows I've got the magic in me
When I hit the flow the girls come snappin' at me
Now everybody wants some presto magic

Magic, magic, magic
Magic, magic, magic
Magic, magic, magic
I got the magic in me!

[Verse 1:]
These tricks that I'll attempt will blow your mind
Pick a verse, any verse, I'll hypnotise you with every line
I'll need a volunteer, how about you, with the eyes?
Come on down to the front, and stand right here and don't be shy
I'll have you time-travellin', have your mind babblin'
People tryna inherit the skill so they askin' me
Even David Blaine had to go and take some classes, and
I see Mindfreak like, "What's up man, what's happenin'? "
So come one, come all, and see the show tonight
Prepare to be astounded, no Ghost or Poltergeist
You know I'm no Pinocchio, I've never told a lie
So call me Mr. Magic Man, I float on Cloud 9

[Chorus: Rivers Cuomo]
I got the magic in me (I got the magic, baby)
Everytime I touch that track it turns into gold (Yes it turns to gold)
Everybody knows I've got the magic in me (I got the magic, baby)
When I hit the flow the girls come snappin' at me (They be snappin' baby)
Now everybody wants some presto magic

Magic, magic, magic
Magic, magic, magic
Magic, magic, magic
I got the magic in me!

[Verse 2:]
Well take a journey into my mind
You'll see why it's venom I rhyme
Stay on the road, so I call my mama when I got time
I hit the stage, go insane, then jump into that crowd
See, see, when I rhyme I flow on the beat like pidda-dow-dow
See I decieve you with my intergalactic ether
I sing just like Aretha, so respect me like I'm Caesar
I kick it like Adidas, flowin' sticky like adhesive
Be cautious, 'cause what I be on'll leave you with amnesia
I break all the rules like Evel Knievel
It's a spectacular show, 'cause my heart pumps diesel
So whatever you saying, it don't entertain my ego
I do this everyday, Hocus Pocus is my steelo

[Chorus: Rivers Cuomo]
I got the magic in me (I got the magic, baby)
Everytime I touch that track it turns into gold (Yes it turns to gold)
Everybody knows I've got the magic in me (I got the magic, baby)
When I hit the flow the girls come snappin' at me (They be snappin' baby)
Now everybody wants some presto magic

Magic, magic, magic
Magic, magic, magic
Magic, magic, magic
I got the magic in me!

[Chorus: B.o.B]
Hey hey do you wanna be famous?
Everywhere you go people know what your name is
Everyone you know tryna tell you you changing
They wanna taste that fame fame fame fame fame

[Verse 1: B.o.B]
Famous, everybody wanna be famous
Most people wanna just taste it
Other people try to just sneak in the VIP and chill with the big faces
Literally see them changes when the fame hits
When I'm up on the stage they sing it
As soon as I step off they hate it
And I'm saying I ain't really with that complaining
Just look at the picture I'm painting
Yeah I pay my rent, vacation then
Take trips all around the equator
Then come back to the A hit the stage again
Then I go up in the booth where they cage me in
Feel regular then I go insane again
If you witness the condition that my brain is in
You would see him in hell where satan is
Only thing to do is maintain a friend
Cause everybody is trying to get paid from me
But f*ck it, this the entertainment biz
So let the games begin, I mean let the flames begin
But hey I'm just trained to this
Lie to everybody then get paid from it
I'm famous

[Chorus]

[Verse 2: B.o.B]
Popular, everybody wanna be popular
Little kids just be watching us through binoculars
And then they go to school and copy us
But hey I'm not knocking ya but how can y'all not see it's obvious
Cause cops just be plotting on us and paparazzi be spying on us
Cause everybody just wanna be on MTV or BET
Or maybe season MVP or maybe even just prom King or Queen
But everybody can't be a G-O-to-the-D
And everybody can't be O-to-the-B
But I don't know maybe this is just how it's supposed to be
But this is what'll happen to y'all
You can go crazy and beat up drunks
The tabloids sayin you hooked on drugs
You cutting up your face then sew it back up
But look, it's plan to see
Ain't nothing in this game be changing me
I'm a always be O-to-the-B me me

[Chorus]

Everywhere you go they just wanna be stars
Everyone you know wanna drive fancy cars
Everyone you know wants you to buy out the bar
They wanna taste that fame fame fame fame fame

[Chorus]

[Outro:]
HAM squad on deck

Maybe one day we can go
Hand in hand down a golden road
And if I get there before you go I'll be waiting at your door
In the future hopefully
We'll be together, you and me
Don't you worry baby please because honestly

[Chorus:]
If I could rewind
Both the hands of time
Still I would never find
A lovelier design
Than you

Nothings lovelier than you [x4]

Maybe one day girl I pray
We could float off to space
Hold my hand I'll lead the way
I won't let go or fall astray
Ain't no if, buts and maybes
You're my baby my lady
Don't you worry baby please because honestly

[Chorus:]
If I could rewind
Both the hands of time
Still I would never find
A lovelier design
Than you

I'm dangerously, dangerously, dangerously in love
I love here more than I love myself
But still that ain't enough
If this a dream I don't wanna wake up
We go together like the tub and the shower head above
Not even thousands and thousands of miles
Could amount to my love, I'd have countless sky miles
I'd climb up a mountain, climb right back down
I'd run across the world then jump back around
A noun and a verb is just a sound
And a word is not profound enough to show my urge for her smile
Like, shout on curb with a loud speaker
Until the entire town heard what I felt,
And I'm out.

Nothings lovelier than you [x3]

Maybe one day we can go
Hand in hand down a golden road
And if I get there before you go I'll be waiting at your door
In the future hopefully
We'll be together, you and me
Don't you worry baby please because honestly

[Chorus:]
If I could rewind
Both the hands of time
Still I would never find
A lovelier design
Than you

[Talking: B.o.B]
What's up, what's down.
Ladies and gentleman we are entering into the fifth dimension
And I mention we gone.

[Verse 1:]
I'm eons and eons beyond these peon's
Another human like me there will never be one
The planet that I'm from, I can't even speak on
The stars is what I sleep on
The moon I put my feet on
The way my aura glow, you swear I'm made of neon
Cooler than the three' on, it's in your dodge neon
They say the future is now, to me it hasn't begun
Stay tuned to me and their will never be a re-run
So come and leap on my body and as we come
You'll probably feel moist like the trees on the tropics
We gone we gone, we out it, no we don't need rockets
We hope up on the mother ship an we gone, we sliding
We slipping through dimensions, we hyper space gliding
Blasting through the atmosphere
Frightening in the lightening
I know I'm out my mind girl, but you know you like it
So hop up on my cosmic highway so can ride it

[Chorus:]
Shorty are you going my way
Come and ride on my, my cosmic highway
(Oooooh) Let's go, (Oooooh) Let's go
Shorty I can't take earth no more
Another galaxy we must go

[Verse 2:]
Well, fresh up out the sky I'm like a meteorite
So when the studio, I don't need to write
Man I just came up in the game cause ya'll just needed more light
So, so by the time I'm done their ain't gonna be no more mics
And people ask me B.o.B what kind of language is that
Cause I may blast into the future, I may never come back
And I'm a leave with a $30, 000 night yearly
Headed to a distant planet called B.o.B
And then I'm gone, Man they not ignoring me
Taking off from half court Air Jordan
All systems go in 10seconds I'm orbiting

Hanging in the Cosmos like a space ornament
Heat'em up like a solar flare, oh yes I bring the pain
Similar to asteroid that's headed to your brain
My lane is something that they really cannot explain
They try to hold me down but man it's me that they can't contain

[Chorus:]
Shorty are you going my way
Come and ride on my, my cosmic highway
(Oooooh) Let's go, (Oooooh) Let's go
Shorty I can't take earth no more
Another galaxy we must go

Come and go with me, I'll take you to my galaxy
I'm talking 'bout venus, Jupiter, mars, mars, mars
And I'm saying girl, I'll ride all night
And I need you for this ship to take flight
Let's go, Let's go
Come on baby let me take it off
Another second we gone blast t off

[Chorus:]
Shorty are you going my way
Come and ride on my, my cosmic highway
(Oooooh) Let's go, (Oooooh) Let's go
Shorty I can't take earth no more
Another galaxy we must go

Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Is 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)

(Dreamin', of fallin, dreamin', of fallin')

Let's pretend like its '98
Like I'm eating lunch off of Styrofoam trays
Trying to be the next rapper coming out the A
Hoping for a record deal, to re-know my pain
Now let's 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 five hundred 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

Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Is 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)

Okay, 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 used 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 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 me to Andre
Before I ever got Myspace
Before they ever noticed my face
So let's just pretend and make wishes out of airplanes

Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Is 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)

(And it seems like yesterday it was just a dream
But those days are gone, they're just memories
And it seems yesterday it was just a dream
But those days are gone)

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
Was so paper thin they could blow away wit the wind
Marshall 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 awkward 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
F*ck 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 didn't make it to the rap Olympics
He slept through his plane and he missed it
He's gonna have a hard time explaining to Haley and Laney these food stamps and W-I-C 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 hear it he pretends that

Airplanes
In the night sky
Is 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)
