Wishing On a Star / Foundation of a Man (DJ Green Lantern Edit] [Mixed] lyrics
by Nipsey Hussle
[Intro: Gwen di*key & Nipsey Hussle]
I'm wishin' on a star
To follow where you are
I'm wishin' on a dream (Yeah)
To follow what it means (Ayy)
I'm wishin' on a star (Look)
[Verse 1: Nipsey Hussle]
Here I stand, executed plans
Seven grams, foundations of a man
Smoking Backs, Black rebel chants
Living fast, my n*ggas ain't even last, f*ck
In the back, .40 on my lap
Counting cash, anxious, finna blast
Too committed to principals from my past
If you ever came from nothing, that's something you understand, look
[Chorus: Gwen di*key]
And I wish on all the rainbows that I see
I wish on all the people who really dream
And I'm wishin' on tomorrow, praying it'll come
And I'm wishin' on all the lovin' we've ever done
I never thought I'd see
[Verse 2: Nipsey Hussle]
Bullets, sky blue tips like thеy Crippin', n*gga
F and N got thirty in it, and I'm trippin', n*gga
Refrigerated cup holdеrs when I'm sippin', n*ggas
f*ck work, sell words, it was written, n*gga
See the Staples Center from my kitchen, n*gga
On the phone with Forbes asking how I did it, n*gga
Snatched ol' girl, it's official, n*gga
Always been a man on a mission, n*gga
[Chorus: Gwen di*key]
And I wish on all the rainbows that I see
I wish on all the people who really dream
And I'm wishin' on tomorrow, praying it'll come
And I'm wishin' on all the lovin' we've ever done
I never thought I'd see
[Interlude: Nipsey Hussle]
It's about knowing you gon' leave one day
And, you know, when you leave
The only way you gon' be fulfilled
Is if you know you gave everything you have
You emptied yourself here
And you left it all here 'cause it's temporary and you got a moment
For me, it's like
I'm— I wanna be in this thing until I'm— I'm out of energy
'Til I don't have nothing left to contribute
[Chorus: Gwen di*key]
And I wish on all the rainbows that I see
I wish on all the people who really dream
And I'm wishin' on tomorrow, praying it'll come
And I'm wishin' on all the lovin' we've ever done
I never thought I'd see
