I Wish Song Lyrics

I wish I was a 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 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 living 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 a 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 a 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 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 though, 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'mma 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 living
In a concrete jungle and these girls keep passing me by
She looks fly, she looks fly
Makes me say "my, my, my"
I wish I was a 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 a 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 a little bit taller
I wish I was a baller
I wish I was a little bit taller
I wish I was a baller
I wish I was a little bit taller
I wish I was a baller
I wish I was a little bit taller
I wish I was a baller
Hey, I wish I had my way
'Cause everyday would be a Friday
And 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 know just 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?
Everybody look what's going down
Ah yes, ain't that fresh?
Everybody wants to get down like that
I wish I was a 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 a 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" by Skee-Lo is one of those pure, classic hip-hop songs that covers a universal feeling of inadequacy and desire for more. Catchy hook and very relatable lyrics gave that song so much in the way of practical durability as an anthem of aspiration and wishful thinking.

"I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller" is a hook that instantly catches on, conveying wistfulness about physical build and aspiration that many feel, imagining how drastically that would change life. Skee-Lo's aspirations are not only about personal characteristics but also concern material goods and romantic strivings; they add up to the vision of how his life in fantasy would be drastically different from its current state.

As each verse goes by, more of Skee-Lo's world is revealed and his problems with confidence development, more pointedly in social and romantic situations. "I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her" is a testament to the desire for companionable social status and simple companionship with a pretty date. Meanwhile, "rabbit in a hat with a bat and a six-four Impala" is a whimsical mix with a desire for all the trappings of success and respect.

These are the lines that tell us the story of Skee-Lo's misery: the failure of gaining movement in basketball and his unreturned love for a lady named Leoshi. This speaks to things like status in society, appearances, and the universal desire to be something more than we are. Behind that amusing pickings and catching rhythm of "I Wish," lurking deep in the circuit of its structure is a much more serious message regarding acceptance, self-worth, and coming to an understanding that what many of us wish for might not be so beneficial. Skee-Lo offers honest, probing lyrics that unveil a snapshot of human insecurities and the churning search for happiness by means beyond simple pleasure.

Ultimately though, "I Wish" is so much more than merely a nostalgic hip hop track; it is a reflection on the human condition, between who we are and who we wish to be, and as such, it turns out to be a record full of timeless sentiments.
