Description

Practise this song until you can sing it at the same time (at least the chorus). It's very difficult but fun, and if you practise you can do it. It is not important if you don't understand much, just use it for speed practise.


... and you'll never forget that the verb WISH is followed by past tense.

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 64 Impala

I wish I was like six-foot-nine
So I can get with Leoshi
Cause she don't know me but
she's really fine
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
And 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 girls
Who came to watch their men ball
Dag y'all! I never understood
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
I confess it's a shame
when you livin' in a city
That's the size of a box and nobody knows your name

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 64 Impala

Now some thing is gotta change
cause nobody knows my name
everything is staying the same
I keep doing this...
Now some things have gotta change
cause nobody knows my name
everything is gonna change oohh..

Now some thing is gonna change
cause nobody knows my name
everything's about to change ooohh..
Now some things have gotta change
cause nobody knows my name











Oh, I wish, I wish











I wish I was little bit taller,
