I Wish Lyrics - Let's Fall In Love - Real Life

[Verse 1] 

So this is it... 

This is what I wished for 

Just isn't how I envisioned it 

Feigned to the point of imprisonment 

I just thought the shit'd be different 

But something changed 

The minute that I got a whiff of it 

I started to inhale it 

Smell it 

Started sniffin' it 

And it became my cocaine 

I just couldn't quit 

I just wanted a little bit 

Then it turned me (in) to a monster 

I became a hypocrite 

Concert after concert

Match These Taylor Swift Songs to Her Ex-Boyfriends 

Every Lyric From Shawn Mendes' Self-Titled New Album 

Watch Janelle Monáe's Sci-Fi film 'Dirty Computer' 

I was raking in the dough 

Rolling in green 

Had the game hemmed up 

Like a sewing machine 

But I was losing my freedom 

There was no where for me 

To not go and be seen 

And just go and be me 

And there was no in-between 

You either loved it or hate it 

Photos 

Every CD critics gave it a 3, then 3 

Years later, they'd go back and re-rate it 

And call the Slim Shady LP the greatest 

The Marshall Mathers was a classic 

The Eminem Show was fantastic 

But Encore just didn't have the caliber to match it 

I guess enough time just ain't passed, yet 

A couple more years, that shit'll be ill-matic 

And eight years later, I'm still at it 

Divorce, re-married 

A felon 

A father 

Sleeping pill addict 

And this is real talk 

I feel like the Incredible Hulk 

My back has been broke, and I can still walk 

[Chorus] 

So be careful what you wish for 

'Cause you just might get it 

And if you get it then you just might not know 

What to do wit' it, 'cause it might just 

Come back on you ten-fold 

I said 

Be careful what you wish for 

'Cause you just might get it 

And if you get it then you just might not know 

What to do wit' it, 'cause it might just 

Come back on you ten-fold 

[Verse 2] 

I got a letter from a fan, that said 

He's been praying for me 

Every day and for some reason 

It's been weighing on my mind heavy 

'Cause I don't read every 

Letter I get, but something told me to go ahead and open it, but 

Why would someone pray for you when they don't know you? 

You didn't pray for me when I was local 

And as I lay these vocals 

I think of all the shit I had to go through 

Just to get to where I'm at 

I've already told you at least 

A thousand times in these rhymes 

I appreciate the prayer, but I've already got 

God on my side 

And it's been one hell of a ride, hasn't it? 

Just watchin' it from an opposite standpoint 

Man, boy's got to look 

Nuts 

And that's the only word I can think of right now 

On how 

To describe the shit 

This is like a vibe you get 

Go ahead and bob to it 

Just watch what you wish for, 'cause I got the shit 

[Chorus] 

So be careful what you wish for 

'Cause you just might get it 

And if you get it then you just might not know 

What to do wit' it, 'cause it might just 

Come back on you ten-fold 

I said 

Be careful what you wish for 

'Cause you just might get it 

And if you get it then you just might not know 

What to do wit' it, 'cause it might just 

Come back on you ten-fold
