Airplanes, Part II (feat. Eminem & 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

Dreamin'

And oh

Of fallin'

Dreamin'

Oh

Of fallin'

Yeah, let's pretend like it's '98

Like I'm eatin' lunch off of styrofoam trays

Tryna be the next rapper comin' out the A

A-Town

Hopin' for a record deal to ignore my pain

Yeah, now let's pretend like I'm on the stage

Check

And when my beat drops, everybody goes insane

Okay, and everybody know my name

Bob?

And everywhere I go, people wanna hear me sing

Oh yeah, and I just dropped my new album

On the first week, I did 500,000

Gold in the spring and diamond in the fall

And then a world tour just to top it all off

And let's pretend like they call me the greatest

Sellin' out arenas with big ass-stages

And everybody love me, and no one ever hated

Just try to use imagination

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

Okay, let's pretend like this never happened

Never

Like I never had dreams of bein' a rapper

Rapper

Like I didn't write raps up in all of my classes

Classes

Like I never used to run away into the blackness

Now, let's pretend like it was all good

Good

Like I didn't live starin' in the notebook

Notebook

Like I did the things that I probably knew I should

Should

But I ain't have neighbors, that's why they call it hood

Hood

Yeah, now let's pretend like I ain't got a name

No

Before they ever call me B.o.B or AKA Bobby Ray

I'm talkin' back before the mixtapes

Cloud 9

Before the videos and the deals and the fame

Before they ever once compared me to Andre

3 stacks

Before I ever got on MySpace

Before they ever noticed my face

So let's just pretend and make wishes out of airplanes

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

And it seems like yesterday

It was just a dream

But those days are gone

They're just memories

And it seems like yesterday

It was just a dream

But those days are gone

Alright, let's pretend Marshall Mathers never picked up a pen

Let's pretend things woulda 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 never gonna make it

Makes no sense to play the game

There ain't no way that you 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 weren't changin' 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 daydreamin' kid

You need to get your cranium checked

You're thinkin' 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 at

And his alarm went off when to wake him

But he didn't make it to the Rap Olympics

Slept through his plane, and he missed it

He's gon' have a hard time explainin' to Hailie and Lainey

These food stamps and this WIC shit 'cause he never risked shit

He hoped and he wished it

But it didn't fall in his lap, so he ain't even here

He pretends that

Airplanes in the night sky are like shootin' 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
