Sye - I Wish Lyrics

I wish
I wish we knew to value money quick
I wish
We gambled stashing all our chips
I wish
I wish that life wasn't such a bitch
Like if I tried harder I would already be rich
I wish
I wish we knew to value money quick
I wish
We gambled stashing all of our chips
I wish
I wish that life wasn't such a bitch
Like if I tried harder I would already be rich

I wish
I wish we didn't need an explanation
I wish we didn't have to choose to eat or education
I wish we could afford to live with
Decent occupations
But it won't support enough to feed a single of our patrons
I wish we didn't have to spend most of our lives working
Conditioned to retire when life isn't even worth it
No need for revelations if you still follow the serpent
Slavery abolished but we're working like the servants
You go against the system everyone is getting nervous
Like citizens in China defiance is met with curses
Controlling what you think on the brink of feeling so worthless
Their power's in possession,
Obsession with being perfect
The only way of taking all that power from their hands
Live humble life not absorbed by their brands
Solid like a rock and roll together as a band
If you and I are unified
We'll stick it to the man

And I wish
I wish we knew to value money quick
I wish
We gambled stashing all our chips
I wish
I wish that life wasn't such a bitch
Because if I was smarter I would already be rich
I wish
I wish we knew to value money quick
I wish
We gambled stashing all of our chips
I wish
I wish that life wasn't such a bitch
Because if I was smarter I would already be rich

The scene been chaotic
I ran like a news crew
The only truth leaking
Is what they all choose to
Plug into our phones
Creating a new view
We never see the chains
Cuz that's what we're used to
Whistle blowers jailed for truth that would be shut
But no one gives a f*ck its forgotten in 3 months
Like when pharma finds a cure
They buy it then clean up
It don't feel like a cage
If that view is a beachfront

They treating us like sheep
Only seeing where these bitches lead
Palms always greased
From the oil in the Middle East
Once we get a piece
They gon' claim it's conspiracy
Then it floods our feeds
We're fiends when it hit the streets
We stand in disbelief
For how easily we got it
They gave us all the deets
It's reverse psychology
The product of opinions
In brains before they wash em
Books written by the victor
Invictus gotta be cautious

I wish
I wish we knew to value money quick
I wish
I wish we gambled stashing all our chips
I wish
I wish that life wasn't such a bitch
Because if I was smarter I would already be rich
I wish
I wish we knew to value money quick
I wish
We gambled stashing all of our chips
I wish
I wish that life wasn't such a bitch
Because if I was smarter I would already be rich
I wish

I wish
The war on drugs was a lie
You're worth less when you're alive
The drugs that they sell us are poisoning our minds
Sold in our foods, tapped in our youth
Sold in the hoods, then those people get booked
The government is a hive
Democracy died
There's nothing you can be
Except a bee
