CHORUS
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are
like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now, a wish right now, a wish right now
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are
like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now, a wish right now, a wish right now

VERSE ONE
Lets pretend like its 98, like I?m eating lunch off of a Styrofoam trey
Trying to be the next rapper coming out the A
Hoping for a record deal, to re-know my pain
Now lets 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 500thousand
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

CHORUS
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are
like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now, a wish right now, a wish right now
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are
like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now, a wish right now, a wish right now

VERSE TWO
Ok, 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 use 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 lets pretend like I aint 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 once compared me to Andre
Before I ever got my space
Before they ever noticed my face
So let?s just pretend and make wishes out of
airplanes

CHORUS (X2)
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are
like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now, a wish right now, a wish right now
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are
like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now, a wish right now, a wish right now

BRIDGE
And it seems like yesterday it was just a dream
But those days are gone, there just memories
And it seems like yesterday it was just a dream
But those days are gone

VERSE THREE (EMINEM)
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 wit the wind
Marshal 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 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
Fuck 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 Haley and maybe these food stamps and WIC shit
Cause he neverrisked 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
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are
like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now, a wish right now, a wish right now
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are
like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now, a wish right now, a wish right now
