I Wish

[ntro: Kurupt] Yeah, uhh, uhh Everybody grab their eggnog and Hennessy Hahaha (Merry Christmas) (I wish I had love) This goes out to all my homeboys out there locked down (I wish I had love) (I wish I had love) [Verse 1: Daz Dillinger] Throughout my life as a child My mama covered me with blessings Thanking God over nothing Bringin' love and the presents But who cares about us homeless people? God do Don't be stingy, give a little 'cause He love you It's been a long time coming could say, for this day Fulfilling dreams is the kid For the Christmas that I never enjoyed a year Spread love to my homeboys locked down in the pen Spread love to my homies that passed that I won't see again Enemies are friends, it's Christmas time let us join hands Every woman, every man, across every land What's the solution for your 9-7 resolution? Is it love or hate, time's running out on the youth [Verse 2: Kurupt] I'm in the middle, in the rapture, in the mixture Clear as daylight, it's painted clearer than a picture I get my focus like a lens I start visionin' all my friends, mansions and ends Now when I was eighteen, it would seem Thoughts of a teen wouldn't prevail but, I'm thinkin', oh well That's life and I'm a be a G (that's right) But for what I see the war's closer to me Wanted to be what I be, have what I have Write what I write with my pen and my pad Ain't nobody want to take what I make (that's on me) And don't nobody make what I make (that's on me) .38 covered with the chrome plate (that's on me) Realize, open your eyes, who's the real homies now? [Chorus: Daz Dillinger] I wish I had love I wish I had love Growing up all alone, I wish I had love Every Christmas without a gift, I wish I had love I give love to all my homies, wish they had love Every day upon on the block, I wish I had love I wish I had love I wish I had love (Say what, say what) [Verse 3: Daz Dillinger] Now as I lay myself to sleep at night I pray the Lord my soul to keep so I can try to do right There's no one else that I can turn to I'm asking a favor, oh, just this once Oh, Jesus Christ, Lord I'm asking you Please help me out cause this my last days Cause if I die today I'm going to hell and I'd lead the way That I want to live my life, see I'm having a few simple problems And good one who could help me I've done a lot of crazy things in my day Being Mr. Scrooge on Christmas Out there really trying to get paid Now I know that was the wrong move Please forgive me for my sins And that's what I'm asking you I read the bible to keep the tune of what you say But this the first time in nineteen years that I ever prayed To be straight up and be serious I believe in you, God My mom says you work miracles [Verse 4: Kurupt] I came from a small city called Philly My cousin Brian just passed The homie Kel-L just passed Time's movin' too fast I wonder will I last Glory in the world with less drugs and cash And I'm caught up But this ain't the way I was brought up Now I have doubts, what's that all about? Now we smoke weed, now we get high And I don't have answers when my momma asks why (Why, why, why?) Why do I do what I do when I Feel kind of low and I'm on top of the sky I'm my own enemy With no energy to try I stopped along the middle of the trail Waiting to inhale and exhale instead of waiting to excel Now, when I was eighteen It would seem Thoughts of a teen wouldn't prevail But, I'm thinking, oh well [Vamp: Daz Dillinger] I wish I had love All the needy kids alive, wish they had love All the kids with disease, wish they had love To all the bums on my corner, wish they had love To the whole worldwide, I wish we had love Wish I had love Wish I had love And this goes out to the world, both sides Death Row wants to say, "Merry Christmas" And we out ('Tis the season to be jolly) Dogg Pound Gangstas Suge Knight, thanks for givin' Dogg Pound love Death Row, thanks for givin' Dogg Pound love Kurupt and Daz, Snoop Dogg, we be givin' love Every day on the corner we be givin' love All my homies in the corner we be giving love Giving it up to all my homies , wish I had love Every day and every night, I wish I had love Thank God for shedding light on my life I guess I have love Christmas time It's time for chillin', you know what I mean Not killin' So let's make it to see '98 And to all my homeboys in the pen (all the homies) Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year And we out And we see you when you get out
