To every city
I wish, I wish, I wish
Every hood
I wish, I wish, I wish
And every block
Ghetto America!
Rollin' through the hood
Just stopped by to say what's up
And let you know
Your baby boy ain't doing so tough
And even though you passed
Going on four long years
Still waking up late at night crying tears
Just thinking about those days
You used to talk to me
Smilin' while I'm sippin' on this Hennessey
And remember we bragged on how rich we would be
To get up out this hood was like a fantasy
And now you hear my songs the radio is bangin'
Oh I can't believe my ears
And what everybody's sayin'
And boy I'll tell you, folks don't know the half
I would give it all up, just to take one ride
(With you)
How I used to kick it on the front porch
(With you)
And how I used to lay back and smoke weed
(With you)
And all the little basement party joints we'd do
Now I'm just missing you
How I wish
I wish that I could hold you now
I wish that I could touch you now
I wish that I could talk to you
Be with you somehow
I know you're in a better place
Even though I can't see your face
I know you're smiling down on me
Saying everything's okay
And if I make it out this thug life
I'll see you again someday
I wish, I wish, I wish
I wish, I wish, I wish
Now ever since this money come
It's been nothing but stress
Sometimes I wish that I could just trade in my success
Y'all look at me and say boy you've been blessed
But y'all don't see the inside of my unhappiness
Man I swear this shit gets heavy like a ton
That's why you hear me shootin', this real shit off like a gun
Hmm I wonder how my friends would treat me now
If I wasn't iced up with a Bentley and a house
That's why fake ass niggas get fake ass digits
And fake ass playas get a real playa hatin' 'em
Honey Love goes platinum and y'all ass come around
But y'all don't want to raise the roof
Until my shit is going down
And now you hear my songs the radio is bangin'
Oh I can't believe my ears
And what everybody's sayin'
Boy I'll tell you, folks don't know the half
I would give it all up, just to take one ride
(With you)
How I used to hoop off in them tournaments
(With you)
And how I used to club hop on weekends
(With you)
Your family called the morning of the tragic end
Damn, my condolences
I wish that I could hold you now
I wish that I could touch you now
I wish that I could talk to you
Be with you somehow
I know you're in a better place
Even though I can't see your face
I know you're smiling down on me
Saying everything's okay
And if I make it out this thug life
I'll see you again someday
I wish, I wish, I wish
I wish, I wish, I wish
Voices in my head be telling me to come to church
Said the Lord is the only way for you to stop the hurt
Dreaming of windows black tinted like a hearse
When waking up to life sometimes seems worst
And all I ever wanted is to be a better man
And I try to keep it real with my homies now
For me to save the world I don't understand
How did I become the leader of a billion men?
And now you hear my songs the radio is bangin'
Oh I can't believe my ears
And what everybody's sayin'
Boy I'll tell you, folks don't know the half
I would give it all up, just to take one ride
(With you)
How I used to street perform on Friday
(With you)
And how I used to go to church on Easter Sunday
(With you)
Standing here throwing them songs at me
Somebody pray for me
I wish that I could hold you now
I wish that I could touch you now
I wish that I could talk to you
Be with you somehow
I know you're in a better place
Even though I can't see your face
I know you're smiling down on me
Saying everything's okay
I wish that I could hold you now
I wish that I could touch you now
I wish that I could talk to you
Be with you somehow
I know you're in a better place
Even though I can't see your face
I know you're smiling down on me
Saying everything's okay
I wish that I could hold you now
I wish that I could touch you now
I wish that I could talk to you
Be with you somehow
I know you're in a better place
Even though I can't see your face
I know you're smiling down on me
Saying everything's okay

Biography
Robert Sylvester Kelly, best known by the name R. Kelly, was born on January 8, 1967 in Chicago, Illinois. From early childhood his passions were basketball and music, which he loved more. Studying at the Kenwood Academy High School he won a young talents show, singing Stevie Wonder’s Ribbon In The Sky, following which he decided to commit himself to music. In 1990 Robert took his electronic keyboard and went in the city streets to sing and earn money. Soon he was noticed by a musical producer Wayne Williams, the owner of Jive Records label, and by the end of the year a contract with the young artist was signed. Kelly arranged a band called Public Announcement and in 1991 they released their debut work Born into the 90’s. Some of the album’s songs became hits – She's Got That Vibe, Honey Love, Dedicated, and Slow Dance (Hey Mr. DJ), and all of them were performed by Robert Kelly. Thinking that solo career would bring him more success, he left the band and in 1993 released his solo album 12 Play. The disc included such hits as Sex Me and Your Body’s Calling, as well as the single Bump & Grind registering at No. 1 on U.S. R&B charts for twelve record-setting weeks. Afterwards the album became multi-platinum with more than five million sold copies and brought the artist the all-time fame.
In the following year Kelly decided to broaden his activities and began to work as a producer for young acts and artists, such as Aaliyah, then unknown 15-year old girl from Detroit. Her debut album was released several month before the marriage of the two artists came to light. But Kelly’s family life was not too long – due to the non-age of Aaliyah the marriage was cancelled in 1995, and Robert came back to his studio to record his second solo album called R. Kelly. The result was incredibly successful – more than four million sold copies, tops of hip-hop and R&B charts, three multi-platinum singles You Remind Me Of Something, Down Low (Nobody Has To Know) and I Can’t Sleep Baby (If I). Many have admitted that the lyrics were more mature in comparison with the first solo experience and the critics still consider this disc the best work of Kelly in all his career. In 1998 a double album called R. was recorded, becoming the best-selling work of the artist to the present day. To the moment of its release R. Kelly became not only a famous artist and producer, but also an acclaimed songwriter for such stars as Mary J. Blige, Michael and Janet Jackson, Quincy Jones, Toni Braxton and many others.
The following two works, TP-2.com (2000) and Chocolate Factory (2003), proved once again that Kelly and multi-million number of copies are inseparable notions. The albums included such hits as Ignition, Snake and Step In The Name Of Love (Chocolate Factory) and the Fiesta remix (Tp-2.com), performed together with Jay-Z. It was the success of that single that led to collaboration of the two artists and creation of a joint album called The Best Of Both Worlds. Soon afterwards Kelly released a double CD Happy People/U Saved Me, the first part of which was represented by easy dance soul tunes (Happy People), and the second one was focused on gospel (U Saved Me). The following step was TP.3 Reloaded (2005), which included the first five parts of the Trapped In The Closet saga – odd, bold, daring experiment, which can be described as “a collision of R&B-aria and soap opera”. Many stars took part in recording of the ninth studio album called Double Up (2007), such as T.I., T-Pain, Snoop Dogg, Ludacris, Nelly, Usher and Kid Rock. The disc became platinum and reached #1 of U.S. Billboard 200, U.S. Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and European Album Chart. In 2009 the world saw the release of Untitled, the atmosphere of which hasn’t changed at all – still the same candle light and silk bed sheets, sex in the morning, sex around the clock. And despite the fact that R. Kelly has spent his whole career creating bedroom music with sexually-oriented lyrics, it seems that he isn’t bored with the topic. And we have to give him credit for that – in this field he is the best! Pretty soon the artist’s fans got a wonderful present: R. Kelly’s two strong compilation albums were released in a row in 2010. The records Playlist: The Very Best Of R. Kelly and Epic became great additions to the musician’s discography, which is quite logical and clear. Traditional atmosphere, emotional vocals and excellent choice of songs – these are all necessary ingredients to create an amazing album.
