Well it was just a dream
Just a moment ago
I was up so high
Lookin down at the sky
Don't let me fall
I was shooting for stars
On a Saturday night
They say what goes up
Must come down
But don't let me fall (x3)
They say what goes up
Must come down
But don't let me fall
Don't let me fall

Cause I'm glidin up there
Oh so very high that if the
Clouds were to drop me
Than I'd fall out the sky
I don't really know why I'm here
I guess I'm just here for the ride
I swear it feels like I'm dreamin
This vividly defined, yeah
So call me whenever you want
Call me whenever you'd like
But lets get one thing straight
You know my name, so I run this town
When I'm on my mic
So here I go B.O.B, Bobby Ray
I don't know, leedahdoe
But I know that I flow
Rack em up, lock em down
Dominos, then I go
Where's my story goes
How did I been done down here before
Come into my eastern catered home
Cause I was in the cold
Tryin to keep my toes unfroze
Now I'm in your house
Now I'm in your stove
Now I'm everywhere that your ipod goes
Everything I seen was a dream
Just a moment ago

But it was just a dream
Just a moment ago
I was up so high
Lookin down at the sky
Don't let me fall
I was shootin for stars
On a Saturday night
They say what goes up
Must come down
But don't let me fall (x2)
They say what comes up
Must go down
But don't let me fall (x2)
They say what comes up
Must come down
But don't let me fall
Don't let me fall

Yeah, not far much longer
From where that pavement is
Cause there aint no parachute
That they can make for this
Cause I put my pain my heart
My soul my faith in this
Does anyone feel like how I feel
Then you can relate to this
Just a blaze of this
Maybe roll one up and take a hit
Toast to the good life
Then take a sip
Vaca(tion) everyday then take a hit
It was easy to see I was made for this
From the move all the way
To the way I spit
Just to show all you niggas
What greatness is
I'm talkin very loosic(?)
Like makin movies
To picture my life, boy
You need a higher resolution
I used to cut class everyday
Then run away at night
But now I'm ruler of the upperclass
And I don't even write

But it was just a dream
Just a moment ago
I was up so high
Lookin down at the sky
Don't let me fall
I was shootin for stars
On a Saturday night
They say what goes up
Must come down
But don't let me fall

. . .


[Chorus- Bruno Mars] (B.o.B)
Beautiful girls all over the world, I could be chasing
But my time would be wasted, they got nothing on you, baby
Nothing on you, baby
They might say hi, and I might say hey
But you shouldn't worry, about what they say
'Cause they got nothing on you, baby (Yeah)
Nothing on you, baby (N-n-n-nothing on you baby, n-nothing on you)

[Verse 1- B.o.B]
I know you feel where I'm coming from
Regardless of the things in my past that I've done
Most of it really was for the hell of the fun
On a carousel, so around I spun
With no direction, just tryna get some
Tryna chase skirts, living in the summer sun
And so I lost more than I had ever won
And honestly, I ended up with none

[Bridge- Bruno Mars]
It's so much nonsense, it's on my conscience
I'm thinking "maybe I should get it out"
And I don't wanna sound redundant
But I was wondering, if there was something that you wanna know
But never mind that, we should let it go
Cause we don't wanna be a TV episode
And all the bad thoughts, just let ;em go, go, go

[Chorus]

[Verse 2- B.o.B]
Hands down, there will never be another one (nope)
I've been around, and I've never seen another one (never)
Because your style, I ain't really got nothin' on (nothing)
And you wild when you ain't got nothin' on? (haha)
Baby you the whole package
Plus you pay your taxes
And you keep it real, while them others stay plastic
You're my Wonder Woman, call me Mr. Fantastic
Stop- now think about it

[Bridge 2- B.o.B.]
I've been to London, I've been to Paris
Even way out there in Tokyo
Back home down in Georgia, to New Orleans
But you always steal the show
And just like that girl, you got me froze
Like a Nintendo 64
If you never knew, well, now you know, know, know

[Chorus]

[Bridge 3- B.o.B]
Everywhere I go, I'm always hearing your name
And no matter where I'm at, girl you make me wanna sing
Whether a bus or a plane, or a car, or a train
No other girl's on my brain, and you the one to blame

[Chorus]

[B.o.B]
Yeah (laughing)
And that's just how we do it (laughing)
And I'ma just let this ride
B.o.B
And Bruno Mars

. . .


If you ask me what's on my mind
You probably wont believe it
Cause if life was one big pool, I'd be in the deep end
So I play my role and never ever speak it, like a secret
And all the while you just tryna figure me out
But you can't see past my shades
Past my shades
Past my shades

CHROUS (X3)
And you can't see past my shades
Past my shades
Past my shades

VERSE ONE
Well ask me a question I tell you no lies
Cause there's nothing to hide, my souls in my eyes
And I'm ahead of my time but I cannot rewind
The only thing I fear is the mirror in my bathroom
People look and try and see a disguise
But there is nothing nobody can't see in light
If it's a song with a rhyme or a verse with a line
Then you understand my mind
But you can't see past my shades

CHROUS (X3)
And you can't see past my shades
Past my shades
Past my shades

VERSE TWO (Lupe)
Who else but Lu else
You know I got two belts, the black and the white one
I begin and I master, I see in my eyeglasses
But they sayin' what I'm seein' through is false like Ross
I can hear'em through the wall like walk
This way you try'n to dissuade my thoughts
I'm slave to myself and disobey my boss
It's all in disarray this parade I walk
They get amazed when they catch the chain I toss
Amidst disarray of different ways I talk
And it hangs from your brain if my chain you caught
Like I cough without covering my mouth
I TIP the scales like the king of the south
Forgot that I was fat, I lost my way [weigh]
But now I'm back looking for the shade I sought
And not wonders, Scott Summers
So don't make me take off my stunnas
Bobby Ray you know you my numbas
And them deer can't see us like huntas (aye)

CHROUS (X2)
And you can't see past my shades
Past my shades
Past my shades

BRIDGE
Yea, (Bring it down)
La, la la la, la laaa (laa)
Oh yea
La, la la la, la laaa (laa)
You can't see past my shades
La, la la la, la laaa (laa)
You can't see past my shades
La, la la la, la laaa (laa)

CHORUS (X2)

VERSE THREE
Well the objective of my suggestive method
Is to open you up and then your head I will mess with
So I am obsessed with music and I am restless
Just to wake you up like a nesquick beverage
And of you get my drift then the flow you will step with
No matter what I say know you feel the direction
I knew why I came since I was concepted
I mean conceived _________________

CHROUS (X2)
And you can't see past my shades
Past my shades
Past my shades

(Hayley Williams)
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now
(wish right now) (wish right now)
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now
(wish right now) (wish right now)

(B.o.B)
Yeah
I could use a dream or a genie or a wish
To go back to a place much simpler than this
Cause after all the partyin and smashin and crashin
And all the glitz and the glam and the fashion
And all the pandemonium and all the madness
There comes a time where you fade to the blackness
And when youre staring at that phone in your lap
And you hoping but them people never call you back
But thats just how the story unfolds
You get another hand soon after you fold
And when your plans unravel
And they sayin what would you wish for
If you had one chance
So airplane airplane sorry I'm late
I'm on my way so dont close that gate
If I dont make that then Ill switch my flight
And I'll be right back at it by the end of the night

(Hayley Williams)
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now
(wish right now) (wish right now)
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now
(wish right now) (wish right now)

(B.o.B)
Somebody take me back to the days
Before this was a job, before I got paid
Before it ever mattered what I had in my bank
Yeah back when I was tryin to get into the subway
And back when I was rappin for the hell of it
But now a days we rappin to stay relevant
Im guessin that if we can make some wishes outta airplanes
Then maybe yo maybe I'll go back to the days
Before the politics that we call the rap game
And back when aint nobody listened to my mix tape
And back before I tried to cover up my slang
But this is for the Cada, whats up Bobby Ray
So can I get a wish to end the politics
And get back to the music that started this s***
So here I stand and then again I say
I'm hopin we can make some wishes outta airplanes?

(Hayley Williams)
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now
(wish right now) (wish right now)
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now
(wish right now) (wish right now)

(B.o.B.)
I could really use a wish right now
I could really use a wish right now
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now
A wish right now
A wish right now

Tell me where am I supposed to go?
And who am I supposed to believe.
If only you knew what I knew.
Then you could see just what I see.

[Chorus:]
So I grab my bags and go, as far away as I can go.
Cause everything ain't what I used to know.
And I try to hide, but I just can't hide no more.
There's nothing worse than feeling like a ghost.

You say I look fine, if only you knew what's on my mind.
You'd see a whole different sign, I couldn't show you even if I tried.
I must have got lost in time when I found out I was only free to be, where ever I want to be.

Some say I'm out of sight, how I run and that we're all so blind.
If you could open up your eyes, you could see what I couldn't describe.
And then, you'd see the signs, and then your soul would be set free, and then you'd be released.

[Chorus:]
So I grab my bags and go, as far away as I can go.
Cause everything ain't what I used to know.
And I try to hide, but I just can't hide no more.
There's nothing worse than feeling like a ghost.

Tell me where am I supposed to go.
And who am I supposed to believe.
If only you knew what I knew.
Then you could see. (Hey)

[Chorus:]
So I grab my bags and go, as far away as I can go.
Cause everything ain't what I used to know.
And I try to hide, but I just can't hide no more.
There's nothing worse than feeling like a ghost.

And I'm terrified, like I've seen a UFO.
Cause everything ain't what I used to know.
And I try to hide, but I just can't hide no more.
There's nothing worse than feeling like a ghost.

(I go)
(A UFO)
(And I'm so tired of hiding, I've been running, I've been trying, to get away, to get away)

So I grab my bags and go, as far away as I can go.
Cause everything ain't what I used to know.
And I try to hide, but I just can't hide no more.
There's nothing worse than feeling like a ghost.

CHORUS
Drug boy steady shootin
The streets don't give a damn
They filled with such pollution
The kids don't stand a chance

We trapped inside the matrix
Forced to play our hands
We fueled with so much hatred
The kids don't stand a chance, I said the kids don't
The kids don't stand; the kids don't stand a chance
I said the kids don't, the kids don't stand, the kids don't stand a chance

VERSE ONE
Well since I was planted at birth, I abandon my own planet
And I landed on earth, As a kid I never understood what I observe
Some of it was strange but most of it disturbing
Always in detention for the lack of my attention
You can call it deficit really I just didn't listen
And I was always missing the teachers like where is Bobby Simmons
But tryna get a record deal is all I can remember
Its funny cause looking back on the path that I had
On my days on the streets tryna prove that I was bad
I still elevated to the level that I'm at
(still elevated to the level that I'm at)

CHORUS
Drug boy steady shootin
The streets don't give a damn
They filled with such pollution
The kids don't stand a chance

We trapped inside the matrix
Forced to play our hands
We fueled with so much hatred
The kids don't stand a chance, I said the kids don't
The kids don't stand, the kids don't stand a chance
I said the kids don't, the kids don't stand, the kids don't stand a chance

VERSE TWO (JANELLE MONAE)
Some times its hard to grow
While living in fear of the unknown
How can he ever give love
When no love is in his heart
A child can barely sleep at night, too worry about tomorrow
And would it be hold, if he drown himself
Deep down in his sorrows
Will you run and will you show your light
Tell a story, live and try
See its when we giving hope
That we know that we can grow.

CHORUS
Drug boy steady shootin
The streets don't give a damn
They filled with such pollution
The kids don't stand a chance

We trapped inside the matrix
Forced to play our hands
We fueled with so much hatred
The kids don't stand a chance, I said the kids don't
The kids don't stand; the kids don't stand a chance
I said the kids don't, the kids don't stand, the kids don't stand a chance

CHORUS
I got the magic in me

Magic, magic, magic

VERSE ONE
______________ blow your mind

CHORUS

VERSE TWO

___________________________________________

VERSE ONE
Famous, Everybody wanna be famous
Most people wanna just taste it

Yea I pay my rent, vacation, then take trips all around the equator
Then come back to the A hit the stage again
Then I go up in the booth where they cage me in
Feel regular, but then I go and pretend again
If you witness the condition that my brain is in
You would see im in hell where satin is
Hardest thing to do is maintain a friend
Cause everybody tryna get paid from me

. . .


VERSE ONE
Im dangerously, dangerously, dangerously in love
I love her more than I love myself and still that aint enough
If this a dream I don't wanna wake up
We go together like the tub and showerhead above
Not even thousands and thousands of miles could amount to my love
I'd have countless sky miles
I'd climb up a mountain, climb right back down
I'd run across the world and jog back around
Noun and a verb is just a sound and a word
It's not profound enough to show my urge for her smile
I'd shout on a curb with a loud speaker
Until the entire town heard how I felt about her

CHORUS
Maybe one day we can go hand and hand down a golden road
And if I get there before you go I'll be waiting at the door
In the future hopefully well be together you and me
Don't you worry baby please
Cause honestly

If I could rewind
Both the hands of time
Still I would never find
A lovelier design, than you
Nothings lovelier than you
Nothings lovelier than you
Nothings lovelier than you

VERSE TWO
Maybe one-day girl I pray we can float off to space
Hold me hand ill lead the way

Cause honestly

If I could rewind
Both the hand of time
Still I would never found
A lovelier design, than you
Nothings lovelier than you

Nothings lovelier than you
Nothings lovelier than you

CHORUS
Maybe one day we can go hand and hand down a golden road
And if I get there before you go I'll be waiting at the door
In the future hopefully well be together you and me
Don't you worry baby please
Cause honestly

If I could rewind
Both the hand of time
Still I would never find
A lovelier design, than you
Nothings lovelier than you
Nothings lovelier than you
Nothings lovelier than you

B.o.B Talking:
What's up, what's down.
Ladies and gentleman we are entering into the fifth dimension
and did I mention, we gone.

VERSE ONE
I'm eons and eons beyond these peon's
Another human like me there will never be one
The planet that I'm from, I can't even speak on
The stars is what I sleep on
The moon I put my feet on
The way my aura glow, you swear I'm made of neon
Cooler than the freon, its in your dodge neon
They say the future's now, to me it hasn't begun
Stay tuned to me and their will never be a re-run
So come and leap on my body and as we come
You'll probably feel moist like the trees on the tropics
We gone, we out it, no we don't need rockets
We hope up on the mother ship an we gone, we sliding
We slipping through dimensions, we hyper space gliding
Blasting through the atmosphere
Frightening in the lightening
I know I'm out my mind girl, but you know you like it
So hope up on my cosmic highway so can ride it

CHORUS
Shorty are you going my way
Come and ride on my my, cosmic highway
(Oooooh) Let's go, (Oooooh) Let's go
Look shorty I cant take ya the earth no more
Another galaxy we must go

VERSE TWO
Well, fresh up out the sky I'm like a meteorite
So in the studio, no, I don't need to go write
Man I just came up in the game cause ya'll needed more light
So, so by the time I'm done their ain't gonna be no more mics
And people ask me B.o.B what kind of language is that
Cause I may blast into the future, I may never come back
And I'm a leave with a $30,000 night yearly
Headed to a distant planet called B.o.B
And then I'm gone, Man they not ignoring me
Taking off from half court Air Jordan
All systems go in 10 seconds, I'm orbiting

Hanging in the Cosmos like a space ornament
Heat'em up like a solar flare, oh yes I bring the pain
Similar to asteroid that's headed to your brain
My lane, is something that they really cannot explain
They try to hold me down but man it's me that they cant contain

CHORUS
Shorty are you going my way
Come and ride on my my, cosmic highway
(Oooooh) Let's go, (Oooooh) Let's go
Look shorty I cant take ya on earth no more
Another galaxy we must go

Come and go with me, I'll take you to my galaxy
I'm talking Venus, Jupiter, Mars, Mars, Mars
And I'm saying, girl I'll ride all night
And I need you for this ship girl to take flight
Let's go, Let's go
Come on baby let me take it off
Another second we gone blast it off

CHORUS
Shorty are you going my way
Come and ride on my my, cosmic highway
(Oooooh) Let's go, (Oooooh) Let's go
Look I cant stay here on the earth no more
Another galaxy we must go, bobby digital

[Chorus: Hailey Williams]
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now wish right now wish right now
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now wish right now wish right now

[Bridge:]
Dreaming.
(oh oh oh oh)
Of falling (mmm mmm mmm mmm)
Dreaming (ooh oh oh oh)

[B.o.B]
(ya) Lets pretend like it's 98
Like I'm eating lunch off of styrofoam trays
Trying to be the next rapper comin out the A (A-town)
Hoping for a record deal to ignore my pain (ya)
Now lets pretend like I'm on the stage
And when my beat drops everybody goes insane (woo)
Okay
And everybody know my name and everywhere I go people
wanna hear me sing (oh)
Oh yeah and I just dropped my new album on the first
week I did Five-Hundred Thousand
Gold in the spring and diamond in the fall and then
a world tour just to top it all off
And lets pretend like they called me the greatest selling
out arenas with big ass stages
And everybody loved me and noone ever hated
Lets try to use imagination

[Chorus]

Okay lets pretend like this never happened (never)
Like I never had dreams of being a rapper (rapper)
Like I didn't write raps up in all of my classes
Like I never used to run away into the blackness
Now lets pretend like it was all good
(good) like I didn't live staring in a notebook (notebook)
Like I did the things that I probably knew I should (should)
But I aint have neighbours thats why they call it hood (hood yeah)
Now lets pretend like I aint got a name before they
ever call me BOB aka Bobby ray
I'm talking back before the mixtapes
(yeah) before the videos and the deals and the fame
Before the ever once compared me to andre before I ever got on myspace
Before they ever noticed my face so lets just pretend
and make wishes out of airplanes

[Chorus]

[Bridge II:]
And it seems like yesterday it was just a dream
But those days are gone (gone gone) and just memories
(oh oh)
And it seems like yesterday it was just a dream
But those days are gone (gone gone)

[Eminem]
Allright lets pretend Marshall Mathers never picked up a pen
Lets pretend things would have been no different
Pretend he procrastinated had no motivation
Pretend he just made excuses that were so paper thin
they could blow away with the wind
Marshall you're never gonna make it makes no sense
to play the game there ain't no way that you'll win
Pretend he just stayed outside all day and played with his friends
Pretend he even had a friend to say was his friend
And it wasn't time to move and schools were changing again
He wasn't socially awkward and just strange as a kid
He had a father and his mother wasn't crazy as shit
And he never dreamed he could rip stadiums and just lazy as shit
Fuck a talent show in a gymnasium bitch you won't amount
to shit quit daydreaming kid
You need to get your cranium checked you thinking like
an alien it just ain't realistic
Now pretend they ain't just make him angry with this
shit and there was no one he could even aim when he's pissed it
And his alarm went off to wake him off but he didn't
make it to the rap Olympics left to his plane and he missed it
He's gon' have a hard time explaining to Hailey and
Laney these food stamps and this wick shit
Cuz he never risked shit he hopes and he wished it
but it didn't fall in his lap so he ain't even here
He pretends that

[Hailey Williams]
Airplanes in the night sky like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now wish right now wish right now
Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now wish right now wish right now

Uh hmm oh oh oh ooo
Uhu mm aalalalaa
