I Wish I... Lyrics

I wish I woulda

I wish I coulda

I wish I didn't

Wait, I wish I did

I used to wish I was born somewhere else

As a kid used to wish I'd make it to the NFL

Well I guess first I just wished I was stronger and faster

I'd have all the wealth if I had a dollar for every penny thrown in the wishing well

Oh well

Sometimes I wish I wasn't born deaf in one ear

Wish I knew what I knew now, last year

Like pay attention to the tears

They mean something

But I'm not supposed to cry so I cover it up I'm mean mugging

Pay attention to the tears

They mean something

Means I hurt you and I made a mess now I gotta clean something

I wish that I wouldn't have held my feelings in

Let my demons and my villains win in my head

Been keeping this in for too long something's burning in the oven

Put the mits on

I'm taking out the bread

Really I should be taking out the trash of discontentment

'Cause I'm scribbling all this crap on my wishlist

I wish I coulda seen all that God was doing for me

How did I miss this

I wish I woulda

I wish I coulda

I wish I didn't

Wait, I wish I did

I wish I had that, wish I had this

Wish I woulda known, wish I coulda changed

Wish I wasn't caught up in my list

That I couldn't see what was in front of my face

Wish I didn't make mistakes

But then what would I learn from so I guess I'm glad I did

Wish time would stop, I'm running kinda late

I wish I didn't have to

Wish upon a star

How you so close, but feel so far

I wish I wouldn't let my heart control my mind and my mind control my heart

Wish I would've been a better leader

Instead of just being another part of the team

Wish I would've saved myself I think you know what I mean

I did things you should only be doing with a wedding ring

I wish I would have thought of therapy

Sometimes all you wanna do is scream

Sometimes all you can do is leave

Single momma raising her baby and a teen

All the while she wishing to get that college degree, but it's not easy

I know what it is to be in need, know what it is to have plenty

Whether well fed or hungry

Being content don't mean happy

Content with my circumstance

With the devil I no longer dance

So many times I'm tryna find where the grass is green

If I would just take some time to look down at my feet

Dang, I got everything that I need

I got everything that I need

I wish I woulda read my bible longer

I wish I woulda prayed a little harder

I have a shoulder, I wish I would've offered it

At the stop sign

Wish I woulda gave you that dollar

You needed it more than I did

I don't want no regrets

Wanna give a little more and take less

Got something to say

I'ma say it with my chest

I ain't gotta be right I got God on my left

No regrets

God saved my soul, SMS, send the text

I got next, no more living check to check

No more wearing my noose like a chain

It's loose I'm taking it off my neck

When they lay me to rest

I wanna be able to say I tried my best

I'm a mess but a work in progress

Even if I had no success

Want people to look and say that boy was blessed yeah

I'm a mess but a work in progress

Even if I had no success

Want people to look and say that boy was blessed

That boy was blessed

That boy was blessed
