* also features an uncredited female singer [Skee-Lo] Yeah! [Intro/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 Wish I had a rabbit in a hat With a bat and a six-four Impala [Verse One: Skee-Lo] I wish I was like 6'9, 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 fat 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 they 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 Overcometh by the thoughts of me and her together, right?

See I can't even get a date so what'chu think of that? I heard that prom night is the 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'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 you're livin In the concrete jungle and these girls keep pa**in' me by She looks fly, she looks fly Make me say my, my, my [Chorus] - repeat 2X [uncredited female vocalist] [Verse Three: Skee-Lo!] Heyyyy! 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 kids ghetto names Little Mookie, Big Al, Lorraine Yo you know that's on the real So if you're down on your luck yhen 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 goin down Ahhhh, yes, ain't that fresh? Now everybody wants to get down like that [Chorus] - repeat 2X [Skee-Lo] Yeah!
