I Wish Lyrics
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, featured on the "Little" soundtrack, is a classic hip-hop track tgat captures the universal feelings of inadequacy and longing for something more. The song’s catchy chorus and relatable lyrics have made it an enduring anthem of aspiration and wishful thinking.The refrain, "I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller," immediately resonates, expredsing a desire for physical stature and success that many feel would improve their lives. Skee-Lo's wishes extend beyond personal attributes to material possessions and romantic aspirations, painting a picture of his ideal life that contrasts sharply with his reality.
Each verse reveals more of Skee-Lo's world, including his struggles with confidence, especially in social and romantic situations. The line, "I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her," speaks to the longing for companionship and the social status that comes with dating someone attractive. Meanwhile, the mention of a "rabbit in a hat with a bat and a six-four Impala" mixes whimsy with the desire for the trappings of success and respect.
Skee-Lo’s lament about his lack of success in basketball and his unrequited love interest, Leoshi, adds depth to his narrative of unfulfilled desires. The song touches on themes of social status, the importance of appearances, and the universal wish to be something more than we are.
Despite the humorous undertones and the catchy beat, "I Wish" conveys a deeper message about acceptance, self-worth, and the realization that we often desire things that may not truly satisfy us. Skee-Lo's honest and self-reflective lyrics offer a snapshot of human insecurity and the constant pursuit of happiness through external means.
Ultimately, "I Wish" is more than just a nostalgic hip-hop track; it's a reflection on the human condition, exploring the gap between who we are and who we wish to be, resonating with listeners across generations with its timeless themes.
