Lyrics
[verse]
Man, if I had a taller frame and a smoother jump shot
Probably wouldn't be out here rhyming on the block a lot
If my ride was fancier and my wallet had some weight
Maybe things would happen sooner, maybe I wouldn't wait
But I'm working with the basics, gotta make it do
Grinding every single day to make the dream come true
Some folks got it easy, born into the perfect scene
Me, I'm building brick by brick from nothing but routine
[chorus]
I wish I had a little more of everything I lack
Bigger dreams, a fatter wallet, wind behind my back
But until that wishing turns to something I can hold
I'll keep grinding, keep on climbing, watch the story unfold
[verse]
Wish my closet had the freshest gear on every shelf
Wish the whole world recognized the hustle in myself
Wish a record deal would drop right out the clear blue sky
Wish my block could see the vision burning in my eye
But wishing only gets you halfway down the road
Gotta match the dreaming with the weight of what you're owed
So I write these verses, pour my heart in every line
Turning all my wishes into something more refined
[verse]
My homie got the same kind of wishing on his mind
Wishes for a better car, wishes to unwind
Wishes for the girl who never noticed him at all
Wishes he was taller, wishes he could stand up tall
But we keep on laughing, keep on pushing through the day
Turning all our wishing into fuel to pave the way
One day all these wishes gonna manifest for real
Till then we keep on grinding, keep on chasing how it feels
[bridge]
(soft keys, laid-back drums)
Wishing on a star won't get you very far
Gotta put in work to close the gap of where you are
Dream it, chase it, build it brick by brick
Wishing just the start, the hustle makes it stick
[chorus]
I wish I had a little more of everything I lack
Bigger dreams, a fatter wallet, wind behind my back
But until that wishing turns to something I can hold
I'll keep grinding, keep on climbing, watch the story unfold
