Skee Lo – I Wish (1995)
- I wish i was little bit taller
- I wish i was a baller
- I wish i had a girl who looked good i would call her
- I wish i had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
- And a six four impala
- (skee-lo)
- I wish i was like six-foot-nine
- So i can get with leoshi
- Cause she don’t know me but yo she’s really fine
- You know i see her all the time
- Everywhere i go, and even in my dreams
- I can scheme a way to make her mine
- Cause i know she’s livin phat
- Her boyfriend’s tall and he plays ball
- So how am i gonna compete with that
- Cause when it comes to playing basketball
- I’m always last to be picked
- And in some cases never picked at all
- So i just lean up on the wall
- Or sit up in the bleachers with the rest of the girls
- Who came to watch their men ball
- Dag y’all! i never understood, black
- Why the jocks get the fly girls
- And me i get the hood rats
- I tell ’em scat, skittle, scabobble
- Got hit with a bottle
- And i been in the hospital
- For talkin’ that mess
- I confess it’s a shame when you livin’ in a city
- That’s the size of a box and nobody knows yo’ name
- Glad i came to my senses
- Like quick-quick got sick-sick to my stomach
- Overcommeth by the thoughts of me and her together
- Right?
- So when i asked her out she said i wasn’t her type
- (chorus)
- (skee-lo)
- I wish i was little bit taller
- I wish i was a baller
- I wish i had a girl who looked good i would call her
- I wish i had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
- And a six four impala
- I wish i was little bit taller
- I wish i was a baller
- I wish i had a girl who looked good i would call her
- I wish i had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
- And a six four impala
- (skee-lo)
- I wish i had a brand-new car
- So far, i got this hatchback
- And everywhere i go, yo i gets laughed at
- And when i’m in my car i’m laid back
- I got an 8-track and a spare tire in the backseat
- But that’s flat
- And do you really wanna know what’s really whack
- See i can’t even get a date
- So, what do you think of that?
- I heard that prom night is a bomb night
- With the hood rats you can hold tight
- But really tho’ i ‘m a figaro
- When i’m in my car i can’t even get a hello
- Well so many people wanna cruise crenshaw on sunday
- Well then i’ma have to get in my car and go
- You know i take the 110 until the 105
- Get off at crenshaw tell my homies look alive
- Cause it’s hard to survive when your livin’
- In a concrete jungle and
- These girls just keep passin’ me by
- She looks fly, she looks fly
- Makes me say my, my, my
- (chorus)

- You could even speed on the highway
- I would play ghetto games
- Name my kids ghetto names little mookie, big al, lorraine
- Yo you know that’s on the real
- So if you’re down on your luck
- Then you should notice how i feel
- Cause if you don’t want me around
