[bad word] 
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 [bad word] out the 
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 [bad word] stages
And everybody loved me and no one ever hated
Let’s try to use imagination

 [bad word] 
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 [bad word] 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.or a.k.a Bobby Ray
I’m talking back before the mixtapes
Before the videos and the deals and the fame
Before they [bad word] 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

 [bad word] (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 [bad word] 
And he never dreamed he can ripped stadiums he just lazy as [bad word]  [bad word] a talent show in the gymnasium [bad word] 
You won’t amount to [bad word] 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 [bad word] 
And there was no one he could even aim when he’s [bad word] 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 [bad word] 
Cause he neverrisked [bad word] he hoped and he wished it
But it didn’t fall in his lap so he ain’t even hear it he pretends that

 [bad word]
