Wishing On a Star / Foundation of a Man (DJ Green Lantern Edit] [Mixed] Lyrics by Nipsey Hussle, Rose Royce

Hip-Hop DNA: MCs (DJ Mix)

2023

[Intro: Gwen Dickey & 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 niggas ain't even last, fuck
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 Dickey]
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', nigga
F and N got thirty in it, and I'm trippin', nigga
Refrigerated cup holdеrs when I'm sippin', niggas
Fuck work, sell words, it was written, nigga
See the Staples Center from my kitchen, nigga
On the phone with Forbes asking how I did it, nigga
Snatched ol' girl, it's official, nigga
Always been a man on a mission, nigga
[Chorus: Gwen Dickey]
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 Dickey]
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
