I Wish (Stylus Flava cut) Songtext
von Skee‐Lo

Yeah, 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
Wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat and a six-four Impala

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
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
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

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
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
Wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat and a six-four Impala


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

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
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

Hey, I wish I had my way, 'cause every day would be a Friday
You could even speed on the highway
I would play ghetto games, name my kid′s 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
See I go simple, I go easy, I go greyhound

Hey, you, what's that sound? (Sound)
Everybody look what′s going down
Ah, yes, ain't that fresh?
Everybody wants to get down like that

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
