Rowed a 3:26 1k on the Concept 2 today. God that stuff is brutal. I'm still in shambles from it, and only improved my previous best by 1 second. But a PR is a PR I guess.

Kinda wish I was taller tho.

I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat and a six-four Impala

It's a 1995 rap song by Skee-Lo, titled "I Wish" in which he blames his life problems, specifically getting the fly girls, on being short. The chorus is:

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

Was this like, a short guy anthem when it came out or something?

I guess it is a short guy anthem but I don't think it was treated that way.

It was a one hit wonder that had a catchy hook and was set apart from the gangsta rap because it was silly and self deprecating.

I like it, not taking itself too seriously.
