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
