I Wish

I wish, I wish, I wish
I wish, I wish, I wish
Yeah-eh, yeah

As a likkle youth mi mind did young
Think everything weh mi wish inna life would a come
But if you sit down and no work every day you fail
Fi depend 'pon wish a fairy tale

Mi used to wish 'pon stars, stars, staars
Think it would a take mi far, far, faaar
Think it easy when it hard, hard, haaard
Think a wish would take me far, faar
To achieve what my dreams are

Life is not as easy as it look
You see the sneakers 'pon mi foot
The veggie meal weh man a cook, man haffi work
Yo, throughout the days inna the year
Mi get the pay, man haffi share
Whole heap a strain man haffi bear and yo, it hurt
Mi used to think it easy
Fi mek it inna the music bis
Once you have few big hits
When you think a your time
A no mouth talk dweet, not a dollar sign

Mi used to wish 'pon stars, stars, staars
Think it would a take mi far, far, faaar
Think it easy when it hard, hard, haaard
Think a wish would take me far, faar
To achieve what my dreams are

Wish mi coulda find the perfect girl
'Cause every girl weh mi meet full a worthless words
And always a talk things weh dem no mean
Ask fi good friends and get some friends weh no real
Mi used to believe inna Santa, see
If a no mommy or daddy nothing no under tree
That a fantasy, I wish on stars and dem no answer me

Mi used to wish 'pon stars, stars, staars
Think it would a take mi far, far, faaar
Think it easy when it hard, hard, haaard
Think a wish would take me far, faar
To achieve what my dreams are

I wish, I wish, I wish
I wish, I wish, I wish
Yeah-eh, yeah

As a likkle youth mi mind did young
Think everything weh mi wish inna life would a come
But if you sit down and no work every day you fail
Fi depend 'pon wish a fairy tale

Mi used to wish 'pon stars, stars
