It’s funny how the first verse in the original song from B.o.B is so relatable now “Yeah, I could use a dream or a genie or a wish To go back to a place much simpler than this”
@@RapBopzShorts listen to "Ill hurt you" by eminem and busta rhymes, the beat was made for their voices and it literally changes tone with their voices and goes at the same pace and everything
Haley's voice is so beautiful. B.o.B. has a good voice, and powerful lyrics. But Marshall... This is one of his best verses of all time. The gimmick of pretending Eminem wouldn't have passion for Hip-Hop is so moving. His rhyme schemes are insane. How he can manipulate the syllables and words to fit his custom rhymes is he work of a legend. This is in my top 10 songs of all time.
Exactly right. You have to go after it. I am currently pursuing my dream and even when things get difficult, I listened to this and immediately felt, think about the time when I live my dream! Ahh. Love this 😍
Caffeine and 200mg of L-theanine. It's what's in green tea. 200 mg tablet before morning cup of coffee, then again midday with another cup. Really helped my ADHD. Mellows out the coffee high and eliminates terrible caffeine crashes in the evening. Can take caffeine free green tea in the evening to mellow out and shut off the ADHD chatter. Avoid alcohol/drugs, eat well & sleep well. 💪
Em was going crazy before Recovery dropped. This verse, Forever, Despicable Freestyle, Drop The World. This is prime Em for me. And no one can take his throne.
finally someone said it Eminem 2009 till and SHADY XV was crazy still a hugh eminem fan but RELAPSE TO SHADY XV no one can tell EM was not a A-TIer MC he is better now then before he overdosed
That story explained by eminem was eminem displaying a conversation to us. Communicating something to us. We may not have Chester. But there are still artists here with us to tell us.
Personally, Hayley's Voice is probably my favorite of all time. I love Paramore, and I love her solo stuff. Eminem always Puts me a good mood no matter what song it is. and B.o.B. in this song is just amazing.
@@TimmyGolding Yeah its rlly emotional especially the part “ pretend he stayed outside all day to play with his friends, pretend he even had a friend to say was his friend “ Cuz I rlly relate to it
Man I would’ve loved to be in the room when BoB heard this for the first time after Eminem sent it back to him. I bet he couldn’t believe how perfect Eminem’s verse fit in his song. Would be cool to have seen his initial reaction
The presentation of lyrics is awesome 👏🏻 And what’s the probability of it releasing now when I just wanted to listen to this song with lyrics? Like it’s an 8 - 10 years old song 🔥
as someone with ADHD, this shit hits deep. Makes me teary and also reminds me there’s hope and there’s also consequences to believing in the self doubt and doing nothing about. The most relatable shit he’s ever said to me personally. Not his most technical or insane lyrically but holy fuck does it hit.
Listened to the song when I was a teen, now that I am an adult I can really sync to Eminem's verse and not gonna lie it is giving me the push I need to take risks in my life and achieve the height which I wished for.
Whenever I'm depressed and suicidal I always go back to an Eminem song. I just found out Airplanes 2 existed and its definitely better than the first one. EM IS KING.
I love when you fall in love with a song over and over again. I heard this one on the radio and I hadn't heard it in a while and I was like during the entire intro wow what an amazing song what is this song I'm gonna listen to it once I find out what it is. And then Bob started singing and I was like yeah so that's what my favorite song sounds like. Airplanes has been my favorite song for 10 years. I can't believe that I forgot what the 1st part sounded like the man was at a cool experience. I love this song.

Lyrics ❤
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Is 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)
Let's pretend like its '98
Like I'm eating lunch off of Styrofoam trays
Trying to be the next rapper coming out the A
Hoping for a record deal, to re-know my pain
Now let's pretend like I'm on the stage
And when my beat drops everybody goes insane (ok)
And everybody know my name (B.o.B)
And everywhere I go people wanna hear me sang
Oh yea and I just dropped my new album
On the first week I did five hundred thousand
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
Let's try to use imagination
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Is 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)
Okay, let's pretend like this never happened
Like I never had dreams of being a rapper
Like I didn't write raps in all of my classes
Like I never used to runaway into the blackness
Now let's pretend like it was all-good
Like I didn't live starring in a notebook
Like I did the things I probably knew I should
But I didn't have neighbors that's why they call it hood
Now let's pretend like I ain't got a name
Before they ever called me B.o.B or a.k.a Bobby Ray
I'm talking back before the mixtapes
Before the videos and the deals and the fame
Before they ever once compared me to Andre
Before I ever got Myspace
Before they ever noticed my face
So let's just pretend and make wishes out of airplanes
Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Is 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)
(And it seems like yesterday it was just a dream
But those days are gone, they're just memories
And it seems yesterday it was just a dream
But those days are gone)
Let's pretend Marshall Mathers never picked up a pen
Let's pretend things would've been no different
Pretend he procrastinated, had no motivation
Pretend he just made excuses that
Was so paper thin they could blow away wit the wind
Marshall you never gone make it,
Makes no sense to play the game it ain't no way that'll you win
Pretend he just stand out side all day and play with his friends
Pretend he even had a friend to say was his friend
And it wasn't time to move in school no 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 can ripped stadiums he just lazy as shit
Fuck a talent show in the gymnasium bitch
You won't amount to shit quit day dreaming kid
You need to get ya cranium check you 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 with
And his alarm went off to wake him but he didn't make it to the rap Olympics
He slept through his plane and he missed it
He's gonna have a hard time explaining to Haley and Laney these food stamps and W-I-C shit
'Cause he never risked shit, he hoped and he wished it
But it didn't fall in his lap so he ain't even hear it he pretends that
Airplanes
In the night sky
Is 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)
"He's gonna have a hard time explaining to Haley and Laney these food stamps and W-I-C shit
'Cause he never risked shit,
he hoped and he wished it
But it didn't fall in his lap so he ain't even here
he pretends that.."
😥
It may sound crazy but these may be some of Ems craziest bars.
May 2024, and this song is still on fire 🔥🔥🔥
Just hearing this, Eminem murdered that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank god Marshall Mathers picked up a pen...
"Pretend he even had a friend to say was his friend."

-Immortal Tech
Pursue your dreams while you’re young, but pursue them while always always always being a good person first.
Interesting beat.
Em always delivers......legend.
I can only imagine if Pac was here with him, 50, dre and some of the other greats.......hip-hop would do another 50 years on top!
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
Yeah, yo... let's pretend like it's '98
Like I'm eatin' lunch off of Styrofoam trays
Trying to be the next rapper coming out the A (A-Town)
Hoping for a record deal to ignore my pain
Yeah, now let's pretend like I'm on the stage
And when my beat drops everybody goes insane
Okay, and everybody know my name (Bob)
And everywhere I go people want to hear me sang
Oh yeah, and I just dropped my new album
On the first week I did 500 thousand
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
Let's try to use imagination
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
Okay, let's pretend like this never happened
Like I never had dreams of being a rapper
Like I didn't write raps up in all of my classes
Like I never used to run away into the blackness
Now, let's pretend like it was all good
Like I didn't live staring in the notebook
Like I did the things that I probably knew I should
But I ain't have neighbors, that's why they call it hood
Yo, now let's pretend like I ain't got a name
Before they ever called me B.o.B or A.K.A. Bobby Ray
I'm talking back before the mixtapes
Before the videos and the deals and the fame
Before they ever once compared me to Andre (3000)
Before I ever got on MySpace
Before they ever noticed my face
So let's just pretend, and make wishes out of airplanes
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
And it seems like yesterday, it was just a dream
But those days are gone, they're just memories
And it seems like yesterday, it was just a dream
But those days are gone
Let's pretend Marshall Mathers never picked up a pen
Let's pretend things would've 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 changin' 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 the gymnasium, bitch
"You won't amount to shit, quit daydreamin', 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
Slept through his plane and he missed it
He's gon' have a hard time explaining to Hailie and Lainey
These food stamps and this WIC shit
'Cause he never risked shit, he hoped 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 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

This is the most motivational Em's verse
The entire world would love to go back to prior 2015.. something happened after that and we all suffering struggling life is messy. We are living yet feels like your just switched to auto pilot mode and observing yourself everything you are going through 😮💨
my friend colton and I was singing that song a long time ago summer back in June 2021 when we were in Kentucky
More than a decade ago!
Probably the best verse Eminem rapped as straight up Marshall
“Let’s pretend Marshall Mathers never picked up a pen.”
- No.. I don’t think I will.
I love you guys forrever
Ever since 21 yrs ago
Fuckin fire
Eminem’s verse in that song is powerful I remember the 1st time I heard it I thought that was insane
❤
Em wrecked that shit. One of the greatest.
Let’s pretend like Eminem never jacked a song , lyrics from dude in a car bitching telling the truth about hacked phone and Facebook and erase the proof
