Dreaming oh oh oh oh
Of falling
Dreaming ooh oh oh oh
Of falling

Like I'm eating lunch off of
styrofoam trays
Trying to be the next rapper
comin out the A A town
Hoping for a record deal to
ignore my pain ya
Now lets pretend
like I'm on the stage
And when my beat drops
everybody goes insane
Okay
And everybody know my name
and everywhere I go
people wanna hear me sing oh
Oh yeah
and I just dropped my new album
on the first week I did
Five Hundred Thousand
Gold in the spring
and diamond in the fall
and then a world tour
just to top it all off
And lets pretend like they
called me the greatest
selling out arenas
with big ass stages
And everybody loved me and
noone ever hated
Lets try to use imagination
Can we pretend that
airplanes in the
night sky are like shooting stars
I could really use a
wish right now
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

never happened
Like I never had dreams of
being a rapper
Like I didn't write raps up
in all of my classes
Like I never used to run away
into the blackness Now
lets pretend like it
was all good
like I didn't live staring
in a notebook
Like I did the things that
I probably knew I should
But I aint have neighbours thats
why they call it hood yeah
Now lets pretend like i
aint got a name
before they ever
call me B O B a k a Bobby ray
I'm talking back before the mixtapes
before the videos and the
deals and the fame
Before the ever once compared me
to andre
before I ever got on myspace
Before they ever noticed myface
so lets just pretend
and make wishes out of airplanes
Can we pretend that
airplanes in the
night sky are like shooting stars
I could really use 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

And it seems like yesterday
it was just a dream
But those days are gone
and just memories
And it seems like yesterday
it was just a dream
But those days are gone
Allright lets pretend
Marshal l Mathersv
never picked up a pen
Lets pretend things
would have been no different
Pretend he procrastinated
had no motivation
Pretend he just made excuses
that were so paper thin
they could blow away with the wind
Marshall you're never gonna
make it makes no sense to
play the game there ain't no
way that you'll win
Pretend he just stayed outside
all day and played with his friends
Pretend he even had a friend to
say was his friend
And it wasn't time to move and
schools were changing again
He wasn't socially awkward and
just strange as a kid
He had a father and his mother
wasn't crazy as shit
And he never dreamed he could rip
stadiums and just lazy as shit
Fuck a talent show in a gymnasium
bitch you won't
amount to shit quit daydreaming kid
You need to get your cranium
checked 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 it
And his alarm went off to wake
him off but he didn't
make it to the rap Olympics
left to his plane and he missed it
He's gone have a hard time
explaining to Hailey and
Laney these food stamps and this
WIC shit
Cuz he never risked shit
he hopes and he wished it
but it didn't fall in his lap
so he ain't even here
He pretends that
Airplanes in the night sky
like shooting stars
I could really use a
wish right now
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
wish right now
