[Intro: Marlon Craft]
Sometimes I wish I could sing yea yea
I just wish I could sing
Sometimes I wish I could sing yea yea
I wish that I could sing

[Verse 1: Marlon Craft]
Sometimes I wish that I could sing
I wish that it was easy
Wish that I ain't have to think
Wish that I could just be me
No genie in this bottle
I pray it can relieve me
Words only go so far and I just want them to believe me
I just want to be seen
I just wanna be heard
Before I hang it up
I just want them to hang on each word
Want them to feel like I felt when Black Thought took the time to have a drink with me
Hear the shit I wrote and feel like they touched the ink with me, yeah
And I articulate well
But yo I feel way deeper so my appearance is strong
But I feel way weaker
Sometimes it's hard to move on
Though I feel way eager
A stranger in my own village
I just feel way bleaker
It's like the times are for talking like a real late speaker
Wish I could text you emotions
But all I'm left with's emojis
When these words insufficient
It's why I wish I could sing
Sometimes I wish I was different
[Chorus: Marlon Craft & (Ricky Motion)]
I just wish I could sing (sing motherfucker)
I just wish I could sing (sing motherfucker)
I just wish I could sing (sing motherfucker)
Though I can't, this is just the way I am
And adjustment isn't planned
I'm an over-thinking, over-drinking struggle of a man
And I'm proud of who I am
I don' came a long way
When I've a long day, I just wish that I could

[Verse 2: Ricky Motion]
I just wish I fit the mold enough
Button-ups and nice blue bow ties
"Your swagger isn't cold enough"
Box dreaded tattoo rappers make the shows erupt
I keep around a brush for solely dustin' off my shoulder cuff
Yet, when it all gets settled
I'm staring down my reflection
"This n***a's testing my mental"
Who are y'all to be judging?
Fuck your gown and your mallet
Walk a mile in these shows, see how you handle the callus
See how I handle the civic, off a fifth of this liquor
Wash it down with some water although the blood is still thicker
That's why the family's close
Make a wish upon comets
That Heather Halley's a hoe
That's why I'm often despondent
Renounce the shit that I know
I'm just never in the mood for it
Fuck this beat machine
I'd rather make a noose instead of a new recording
Hesitations and doubts
Molehills to a mountain
Climb my way to the peak
Flip a coin in this fountain and I'll sing
[Chorus: Marlon Craft & (Ricky Motion)]
I just wish I could sing (sing motherfucker)
I just wish I could sing (sing motherfucker)
I just wish I could sing (sing motherfucker)
Though I can't, this is just the way I am
And adjustment isn't planned
I'm an over-thinking, over-drinking struggle of a man
And I'm proud of who I am
I don' came a long way
When I've a long day, I just wish that I could
