Brodie - Wishes (If I Had) Lyrics

If I had a wish

I'll deal with the suffering
Seeking all my people

Starring into the barrel of that Desert Eagle

Serving all of their sentences
Just to make 'em legal

I be that little boy waiting at home
Lookin' for his father
Knowin' that he ain't coming back

And that junkie shootin' with the needle
Smokin' the crack

Prostitute snortin' coke
So she can give 'em a sack

Walk in the church
Switchin' places with the minister

Clear out the room
'Cause Dylaan's lookin' really sinister

Pistols, AR's, don't matter
Just let the blood shed

And now they at home preachin'
Gettin' them spoons fed

If we not safe in God's house
What do we say?

Stand tall like hypocrites
Come Judgement Day

Confess our sins
And still promote the Devil's ways

We not stuck in a loop
We stuck on replay

We not cryin' for help
We cause our own destruction

Don't try to even the score
But the gun starts erupting

Fallin' in the melting pot
I suffer all of their sins

Walk through the gates
And sign my name
Where do we begin?

If I had a wish

I'll deal with the suffering
Seeking all my people

Starring into the barrel of that Desert Eagle

Serving all of their sentences
Just to make 'em legal

If I had a wish

I'll deal with the suffering
Seeking all my people

Starring into the barrel of that Desert Eagle

Serving all of their sentences
Just to make 'em legal

I'll go back in time and fix the mishaps
Back in the days when we
Were murdered, raped, and kidnapped

Back in the days when Emmett
Was runnin', not with the ball

Thought he was dreamin'
As they crushed his face
Against the wall

Martin seen it comin'
That's why the King
Spoke with passion

Our leaders die by the bullet
The pain is everlasting

Jordan died twenty minutes away
Still hear the gun blastin'

Hey
Still hear the music blastin'

Switch my hoodie with Trayvon
And walk him home
And let Zimmerman have target practice
With my dome

Give Rosa a rose
Just to claim her seat

And now they scrapin' my brains
Off the concrete

Kneelin' with them shackles
Just to be traded

Stand-in' there for you
When the band gets raided

Spillin' blood for the K-9
Just to tame to bite

I'll die for every aborted baby
Just so they see the light

If I had a wish

I'll deal with the suffering
Seeking all my people

Starring into the barrel of that Desert Eagle

Serving all of their sentences
Just to make 'em legal

If I had a wish
