[Intro: Marlon Craft] Sometimes I
wish I
could sing yea yea I
just wish I
could sing Sometimes I
wish I
could sing yea yea I
wish that I
could sing [Verse 1: Marlon Craft] Sometimes I
wish that I
could sing I
wish that it was easy Wish that I
ain't have to think Wish that I
could just be me No genie in this bottle I
pray it can relieve me Words only go so far and I
just want them to believe me I
just want to be seen I
just wanna be heard Before I
hang it up I
just want them to hang on each word Want them to feel like I
felt when Black Thought took the
time to have a
drink with me Hear the
shit I
wrote and feel like they touched the
ink with me, yeah And I
articulate well But yo I
feel way deeper so my appearance is strong But I
feel way weaker Sometimes it's hard to move on Though I
feel way eager A
stranger in my own village I
just feel way bleaker It's like the
times are for talking like a
real late speaker Wish I
could text you emotions But all I'm left with's emojis When these words insufficient It's why I
wish I
could sing Sometimes I
wish I
was different [Chorus: Marlon Craft & (Eric Brand)] I
just wish I
could sing (sing motherfucker) I
just wish I
could sing (sing motherfucker) I
just wish I
could sing (sing motherfucker) Though I
can't, this is just the
way I
am And adjustment isn't planned I'm an over-thinking, over-drinking struggle of a
man And I'm proud of who I
am I
don' came a
long way When I've a
long day, I
just wish that I
could And when I've had a
long day [Verse 2: Eric Brand] I
just wish I
fit the
mold enough Button-ups and nice blue bow ties "Your swagger isn't cold enough" Box dreaded tattoo rappers make the
shows errupt I
keep around a
brush for solely dustin off my shoulder cuff Yet, when it all gets settled I'm staring down my reflection "This nigga's testing my mental" Who are y'all to be judging? Fuck your gown and your mallet Walk a
mile in these shows, see how you handle the
callus See how I
handle the
civic, off a
fifth of this liquor Wash it down with some water although the
blood is still thicker That's why the
family's close Make a
wish upon comets That Heather Halley's a
hoe That's why I'm often despondent Renounce the
shit that I
know I'm just never in the
mood for it Fuck this beat machine I'd rather make a
noose instead of a
new recording Hesitations and doubts Molehills to a
mountain Climb my way to the
peak Flip a
coin in this fountain and I'll sing [Chorus: Marlon Craft & (Eric Brand)] I
just wish I
could sing (sing motherfucker) I
just wish I
could sing (sing motherfucker) I
just wish I
could sing (sing motherfucker) Though I
can't, this is just the
way I
am And adjustment isn't planned I'm an over-thinking, over-drinking struggle of a
man And I'm proud of who I
am I
don' came a
long way When I've a
long day, I
just wish that I
could And when I've had a
long day
