the wishes away

[Steve]

i wish
i was
Wayne Brady
white
not
peter pan
white
`cause what i am now
is colorless
odorless

i wish
i was
Baraka
black
not
wayne brady
black
`cause what i am now
is colourless
odorless

i wish
i was
basho
asian
not
nintendo
asian
`cause what i am now
is colourless
odorless

somehow always drifting through the cracks
between people's ears.

i wish
i had
King's
voice
not
my voice
`cause this one's
always drifting passed people's ears.
