[Verse 1]
[G]I wish the way I was[D] living could stop,
serving [Em]rocks
Knowing the cops is hot
when I'm on the block, and I
[G]Wish my brother wou[Bm]ld of made bail,
So I [Em]won't have to
travel 6 hours to see him in jail, and I
[G]Wish that my grandmot[D]her wasn't sick
Or that [Em]we would just come up
on some stacks and hit a lick, and I
[Am]Wish my homies
[Bm]wouldn't have to suffer
When the [C]streets get the upper hand on us
and we lose a brother, and I
[G]Wish I could go dee[D]p in a zone
And lift the [Em]spirits of the world
with the words with in this song, and I
[G]Wish I could teach a sou[Bm]l to fly
Take away [Em]the pain out your hands
and help you hold them high, and I
[G]Wish my homie Butch was sti[D]ll alive
And on the [Em]day of his death
we had never took that ride, and I
[Am]Wish the God
could pro[Bm]tect us from the wrong
So that [C]all the soldiers
that were sent over seas come home and, uh,
[G]We will never break, tho[D]ugh they devastate,
we shall [Em]motivate
And we gotta pray, all we got is faith
[G]Instead of thinking about
[Bm]who gonna die today
The Lord [Em]is gonna help you feel better,
so you ain’t gotta cry today
[G]Sit at the light so lon[D]g
And then we gotta [Em]move straight forward,
cause we fight so strong
[Am]So when right go wrong[Bm]
Just say a little [C]prayer,
get ya money man, life..

[Chorus 1]
Cause I’m [G]hopeful, yes [D]I am, hopef[Em]ul for today
Take this [G]mu sic and use [Bm]it
Let it [Em]take you away
And be [G]hopeful, [D]hopeful and [Em]he’ll make a way
I [Am]know it ain’t ea[Bm]sy b[C]ut that’s okay

[Verse 2]
cause we hopeful
[G]I wish that you could sho[D]w some love
Instead of [Em]hating so much
when you see some other people coming up
[G]I wish I could teach the wor[Bm]ld to sing
Watch the [Em]music
and have ‘em tripping off the joy I bring
[G]I wish that we can hol[D]d hands
Listen in[Em]stead of dissing lessons
from a grown man, and I
[Am]Wish the families that lack,[Bm]
but got love, get some [C]stacks
Brand new shack and a lack that’s on dubs,
and I
[G]Wish we could keep achie[D]ving wonders,
See the vision [Em]of the world
through the eyes of Stevie Wonder, you feel
[G]And I hope all the the[Bm] kids eat
And don’t no[Em]body in my family see six feet,
(ya dig)
[G]I hope them mothers sta[D]in’ strong
You can make it [Em]whether you wit him
or your mans gone, and I
[Am]Wish I could give every cell[Bm]y
some commissary
And the [C]po po bring the heat
on them priest like they did R. Kelly, and I
[G]Wish that DOC could scr[D]eam again
And bullets [Em]could reverse so Pac
and Biggie breath again
(I [G]wish) Then one day they could [Bm]speak again
I wish that [Em]we only saw good news
every time we look at CNN
[G]I wish we could never get[D] the blues
Wish I could [Em]bring back the people
that died at E2
I wish that [Am]we could walk a path,
stay [Bm]doing the right thing
Hustle [C]hard so the kids maintain up

[G]Wish the earth wasn’t so apoc[D]alyptic
I try to [Em]spread my message to the world
the best way that I can give it
[G]We can make it, always be opt[Bm]imistic
If you don’t [Em]listen gotta live my life
the best way that I can live it
[G]I pray for justice when we go [D]to court
Wish it was [Em]all good
so the country never even went to war
[Am]Why can’t we kick it and just get [Bm]em on
And in the [C]famous words of Mr. King
“Why can’t we all just get along"
[G]Or we can find a better way[D] to shop
and please, And I
[Em]Hope we find a better way
to cop a keys, and I
[G]Wish everybody would just sto[Bm]p and freeze
And ask [Em]why are we fulfilling these downfalls
and these prophecies

With the faith of [Em]a mustard seed

And only the [Am]heavenly father can
[Bm]ease the hurt
Just let it [C]go and keep praying
on your knees at church!
