Jay-Z Wishing on a Star lyrics
Chorus: Gwen Dickey
I'm wishing on a star to follow where you are
I'm wishing on a dream to follow what it means
Verse 1: Jay-Z
Check it out, you can catch me on top now, playin a club
Throwin a shot down, tryin to stay above
Ground, another ground-breakin day in the club
Surrounded by my home thoughts, playin a cut
Reminesin on days I didn't have a pot to piss in
No watches to glisin, no V's with hot systems
Missin my homies that passed right in front of my eyes
Due to the fast life we told wonderful lies
On how we would live forever, time proved us wrong
Had to get our shit together and move it along
Had dreams of being Big niggas, Jig niggas
Drivin the hottest cars, movin out with our moms and I'm
Chorus: Gwen Dickey
Wishing on a star to follow where you are
I'm wishing on a dream to follow what it means
Verse 2: Jay-Z
Was interuppted by this chicken that I used to cluck wit
Back in the days when I was movin much shit, "What up chick?"
Maintanin, it's the same old thang
A little stress, a little bullshit, ain't too much changed
I see you kept it movin, you see I kept improving, she nodded her head in
agreement
Remember when I used to walk up and down the cement, puttin it down
While the Streets is Watchin, stay hooded down
Just to earn a rep, but what good is it now?
She said "Damn I just stopped to say Hi.... Bye"
I was too deep for you from day one
Thats why we never had relations, continued in my own zone
Chorus: Gwen Dickey
I'm wishing on a star to follow where you are
I'm wishing on a dream to follow what it means
And I wish on all the rainbows that I see
I wish on all the people who really dream
And I'm wishing on tomorrow praying it will come
And I'm wishing on all the loving we've ever done
Verse 3: Jay-Z
Uh huh, We used to play tap-tap for rap tracks
Run, catch, and kiss in the back park until it got dark
Wanted to be like the older fellas, sneak and drink old Chample
Dangerous games we played on the third rail
Fiend for the summer breeze
Hopped out the Lee's Dungrares
into the Hawaiian shorts, relying on sports
to take us away from here, but I cut too much
So I had a plan B used to rhyme with a brush
My sinners used to back me up
Like Doug E. Fresh and Ricky D., Eric, Mickey and Me
All my niggas is you with me, each of ya'll
Let's reach for the stars now... Jigga!
Chorus: Gwen Dickey
I'm wishing on a star to follow where you are

And I wish on all the rainbows that I see

'Wishing on a Star' is a 1978 hit single by Rose Royce for Whitfield Records.
Included on their second album, In Full Bloom, 'Wishing on a Star' is a slow ballad written by former Undisputed Truth member Billie Rae Calvin and produced by Norman Whitfield. It was sung by Gwen Dickey under her stage name. The lyrics concern a woman longing for the return of an ex-lover so that they can resume their relationship. The original version of 'Wishing on a Star' peaked at number 52 on the BillboardR&B singles chart. Despite this, the song was played every Saturday at noon on Boston's Kiss 108 radio for over two decades, ceasing around 2004. In the UK, the song reached number three in March 1978. The single was re-released as the X Factor's charity single for 2011. The single features JLS and One Direction.
The song was re-recorded by Miriam Stockley and used as the theme tune to the US television mini-series The 10th Kingdom, released in 2000.

In 2011, 'Wishing on a Star' was covered by Nigerian-British singer Seal. It was released as the first UK single taken from his album Soul 2 on November 20, 2011. This interpretation of 'Wishing on a Star' was produced by previous collaborator, Trevor Horn.
Seal's version of the song was premiered on Ken Bruce'sBBC Radio 2 show on October 13, 2011.[19] The single later peaked on the Radio 2 B-list.[20]
Critical reception[edit]
In her review for Soul 2, Caroline Sullivan of The Guardian expressed, 'His voice and interpretive skills are such, though, that most tracks fit him like a glove, to the point where, on Rose Royce's Wishing on a Star, his oak-aged vocal seems a better fit for the remorseful lyric than original singer Gwen Dickey's. He grew up with these 1970s hits, and evidently reveres them, but isn't cowed by them'.[21] In his review, Mike Diver of the BBC expressed that 'Seal has a voice that can melt icecaps has never been doubted by his detractors – the problems with his material post-Seal (II) went deeper, to a basic songwriting level. Here, freed of the weight of his own emotions, he soars on a sublime Wishing on a Star (which manages to borrow its smoky backing from Sade's Smooth Operator).[22]
Live performances[edit]
Seal performed 'Wishing on a Star' on Daybreak on November 25, 2011.[23]
