I Wish

I wish...

[Intro]
Do-doo, do-doo, do, do, do, do, do, do-do, do
Do-doo, do-doo, do, do, do, do-do, do

[Pre-Verse]
(Do-doo, do-doo, do, do, do, do, do, do-do, do)
I wish I was a baller
I wish I was a little bit taller, yo
(Do-doo, do-doo, do, do, do, do-do, do)
I wish I was a baller
Yeah!

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
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 of ways 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, ska-bobble, 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
Overcometh by thoughts of me and her together, right?
So when I asked her out, she said I wasn't her type

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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'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 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]
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

[Verse 3]
Hey, I wish I had my way
Cause everyday would be a Friday
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
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

[Chorus]
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

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
