Wishing on a Star Lyrics

(feat. Gwen Dickey)

 [Chorus: Gwen Dickey]

 I'm wishing on a star to follow where you are

 I'm wishing on a dream to follow what it means

 

 [Verse 1: Jay-Z]

 Check it out, you can catch me on top now, playin a club

 Throwin a shot down, tryin to stay above

 Ground, another ground-breakin day in the club

 Surrounded by my home thoughts, playin a cut

 Reminesin on days I didn't have a pot to piss in

 No watches to glisin, no V's with hot systems

 Missin my homies that passed right in front of my eyes

 Due to the fast life we told wonderful lies

 On how we would live forever, time proved us wrong

 Had to get our shit together and move it along

 Had dreams of being Big niggas, Jig niggas

 Drivin the hottest cars, movin out with our moms and I'm

 

 [Chorus: Gwen Dickey]

 Wishing on a star to follow where you are

 I'm wishing on a dream to follow what it means

 

 [Verse 2: Jay-Z]

 Was interuppted by this chicken that I used to cluck wit

 Back in the days when I was movin much shit, "What up chick?"

 Maintanin, it's the same old thang

 A little stress, a little bullshit, ain't too much changed

 I see you kept it movin, you see I kept improving, she nodded her head in agreement

 Remember when I used to walk up and down the cement, puttin it down

 While the Streets is Watchin, stay hooded down

 Just to earn a rep, but what good is it now?

 She said "Damn I just stopped to say Hi.... Bye"

 I was too deep for you from day one

 Thats why we never had relations, continued in my own zone

 

 [Chorus: Gwen Dickey]

 I'm wishing on a star to follow where you are

 I'm wishing on a dream to follow what it means

 And I wish on all the rainbows that I see

 I wish on all the people who really dream

 And I'm wishing on tomorrow praying it will come

 And I'm wishing on all the loving we've ever done

 

 [Verse 3: Jay-Z]

 Uh huh, We used to play tap-tap for rap tracks

 Run, catch, and kiss in the back park until it got dark

 Wanted to be like the older fellas, sneak and drink old Chample

 Dangerous games we played on the third rail

 Fiend for the summer breeze

 Hopped out the Lee's Dungrares

 into the Hawaiian shorts, relying on sports

 to take us away from here, but I cut too much

 So I had a plan B used to rhyme with a brush

 My sinners used to back me up

 Like Doug E. Fresh and Ricky D., Eric, Mickey and Me

 All my niggas is you with me, each of ya'll

 Let's reach for the stars now... Jigga!

 

 [Chorus: Gwen Dickey]

 I'm wishing on a star to follow where you are

 I'm wishing on a dream to follow what it means

 And I wish on all the rainbows that I see

 I wish on all the people who really dream

 And I'm wishing on tomorrow praying it will come

 And I'm wishing on all the loving we've ever done
