AIRPLANES, PART II
[ featuring Eminem - Hayley Williams ]
[CHORUS]
- 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
[INTRO] x2
- Eminem , Hayley Williams -
Dreaming
(oh oh oh oh)
of fallin'
(mmm mmm mmm mmm)
- B.o.B -
(ya) Let's pretend like it's '98
Like I'm eating lunch off of styrofoam trays
Trying to be the next rapper comin' out the A (A town)
Hoping for a record deal to ignore my pain (ya)
Now, let's pretend like I'm on the stage
And when my beat drops everybody goes insane (woo)
Okay
And everybody know my name
and everywhere I go people wanna hear me sing (oh)
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
selling out arenas with big-ass stages
And everybody loved me and no one ever hated
Just try to use imagination
[CHORUS]
- 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
- B.o.B -
Okay
let's pretend like this never happened (never)
like I never had dreams of being 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 (yeah)
Let's pretend like it was all good (good)
like I didn't live staring in a 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
before they ever call me B.o.B a.k.a. Bobby Ray
I'm talking back before the mixtapes (Cloud 9)
before the videos and the deals and the fame (yeah)
Before the ever once compared me to Andre
before I ever got on Myspace
Before they ever noticed my face
So let's just pretend and make wishes out of airplanes
[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]
- B.o.B , Eminem , Hayley Williams -
And it seems like yesterday, it was just a dream
But those days are gone
They're just memories
(oh oh)
And it seems like yesterday, it was just a dream
But those days are gone
- Eminem -
Alright
let's pretend Marshall Mathers never picked up a pen
Let's pretend things would have 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're never gonna make it,
makes no sense to play the game, there ain't no way that you'll 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 changing 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 daydreaming, kid!
You need to get your cranium checked!
You're thinking 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 to wake him
but he didn't make it to the rap Olympics
left to his plane and he missed it
He's gonna have a hard time explaining to Hailey and Laney
these food stamps and this WIC shit
'cause he never risked shit
he hopes 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 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
