i could use a dream or a genie or a wish, to go back to a place much simpler than this
cause after all the partyin and the smashin and the crashin, and all the glitz and the glam and the fashion
and all the pandemonium and the madness, there comes a time where you fade to the blackness
and when you're starin at that phone in your lap, and you hopin but them people never call you back
but that's just how the story unfolds - you get another hand soon after you fold
and when your plans unravel and they sayin what would you wish for if you had one chance
so airplane, airplane, sorry i'm late. i'm on my way so don't close that gate
if i don't make that i'll switch my flight, and i'll be right back at it by the end of the night

can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars
i could really use a 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...

somebody take me back to the days before this was a job, before i got paid
before it ever mattered what i had in the bank
yea back when i was tryin to get in the subway and back when i was rappin for the hell of it
but nowadays we rappin to stay relevant. i'm guessin that if we can make some wishes out of airplanes
then maybe, yo, maybe i'll go back to the days before the politics that we call the rap game
and back when ain't nobody listened to my mix tape, and back before i tried to cover up my slang
but this is for the cada, what's up bobby ray? so can i get a wish to end the politics
and get back to the music that started this shit? so here i stand and then again i say
i'm hopin we can make some wishes out of airplanes.

this, i'm sure, tells more than just one man's story. so often we think life as an idol is parties and glamour, but we don't bother to see the other side of things until they're placed before us already breaking. i hope you're doing well, jiyong. heartwrenching.
