Lyrics

I just wish I knew...
The Wonder Years
I'm going way, way back to the early days
Remember it well, seems like the other day
I'm going way, way back to the early days
Now I gotta stay away from around the way
I'm going way, way back to the early days
Remember it well, seems like the other day
I just wish I knew...
Wildchild, check it
I wish I knew if I would've had a
Chance with Halle Berry in elementary
If this world we know was developed the way it was meant to be
A way to rid our street of corrupt cops up in Los Angeles
All female sexual thoughts perpetrated non-scandalous
And why females are so overly sensitive
Why to this day a belt is a father's only form of discipline
Why major labels and artists rarely be seeing eye to eye
Why you never say good things to your loved ones before they die
But when they do, I wish I knew spiritually if they're still with you
Why you never stop drinking before the last drink hits you
Why is it okay to drink but marijuana's still illegal?
Though I don't smoke, I wish I knew how to change it for my people
How to read racist thoughts even before they get spoken
Which slot machine would hit the jackpot using my last token?
I just wish I knew...
You never know, right? The Wonder Years, come on
I'm going way, way back to the early days
Remember it well, seems like the other day
I'm going way, way back to the early days
Now I gotta stay away from around the way
I'm going way, way back to the early days
Remember it well, seems like the other day
I just wish I knew...
I wish I knew the cure for the diseases and next week's lotto numbers
Terrorist acts before they planned and who they planned them under
How to prevent and conquer death
I wish I knew if my family would be
Beside me when I be taking my last breath
Know Mother Nature and rapists, two different death traps
I wish I knew the mind state of both to catch 'em up in the act
And if there was someone else in the
World who looks and acts just like me
A way to cop me a pair of Michael Jordan reissue Nikes
A way to end world suffering
Why interracial relationships are the key
And most are hesitant to show love to them
If time travel's possible, how to return love back to my wife
Who's been through every good and bad obstacle
And why people live with so much hate
Every good and bad secret about a girl on the first blind date
I just wish I knew...
You never know, uh
I'm going way back
I wish I knew why men lust for strip clubs
Why white labels exist and if your music
Ain't out, cats, you already know God does
And why females need so much attention and ill affection
If there was a scandal in the Bush presidential election
If UFOs really exist
When I'm at work, who would say the wrong
Thing next to me, get me pissed, catch a fist?
If street beggars you know be frontin' and really got money
How to take MCs I hear who be fakin' and then use 'em as crash dummies
How to film it and release it on a commercial
Take the place of programmers and play hip-hop that's universal
No mainstream or underground record sales to control
So you won't know what's gonna be next, only music with soul
If my daughter would use the true path that God has laid
The key to success so all of my people can get paid
I just wish I knew...
You never know, uh, The Wonder Years
I'm going way, way back to the early days
Remember it well, seems like the other day
I'm going way, way back to the early days
Now I gotta stay away from around the way
I'm going way, way back to the early days
Remember it well, seems like the other day
I just wish I knew...
You never know, The Wonder Years
