Diamond In The Back

Gangsta whitewalls, TV antennas in the back (the back, the back...)

I wanna (diamond in the back)

I wanna (sunroof top)

I wanna (diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)

I wanna (diamond in the back)

I wanna (sunroof top)

I wanna (diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)

I wanna (diamond in the back)

I wanna (sunroof top)

I wanna (diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)

I wanna (diamond in the back)

And I wanna (sunroof top)

I wanna (diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)

Diamond in the, diamond in the, diamond in the...

It's hard growin' up lookin' at drug dealers wit' all this paper

Wonderin' how I can get me some

My family's strugglin', I'm buggin', sittin' on my porch

So confused, chewin' on some bubblegum.

I was always taught to use my manners with the misses

But please, stay away from the hoes and snitches

And I was always reached for the sky, I don't know why

Ima little bitty kid wit' a whole buncha gangsta wishes.

When I grow up, you just wait, Ima be so straight

And everything's gonna be so marvelous

No more borrowin' from the neighbors, no more haters

No more blowin' Nintendo cartridges.

Ima have it made in the shade, Ima be so paid

And my fam, get 'em off that payin' them bills

Matta fact I'm schemin' my way on up out this hood, I'll be good

When I ditch these trainin' wheels

Diamond in the back

I wanna (sunroof top)

I wanna (diggin' in the scene with a gangsta lean)

I wanna (diamond in the back)

I wanna (sunroof top)

I wanna (diggin' in the scene with a gangsta lean)

I wanna (diamond in the back)

And I wanna (sunroof top)

I wanna (diggin' in the scene with a gangsta lean)

I wanna (diamond in the back)

I wanna (sunroof top)

I wanna (diggin' in the scene with a gangsta lean)

Diamond in the, diamond in the, diamond in the...

I'm sick and tired of ridin' public transportation

Been patient waitin' on my set of wheels

I'm willin' to do what it takes, whatever the stakes

In order to get myself some dollar bills.

It's too many holes in my socks, and I'm ready to box

Anyone tellin' me I need better shoes

And I ain't the only one trippin', or makin a fuss

My older cousin need some cheddar too.

He thinkin' 'bout comin' up on the lick, to get it quick

It involves that local corner store

I overheard him say he knew who works there

And whatever they do, don't let the owner know.

I hope he come back with enough to let me borrow some change

At least for the summer

And if he don't let me borrow nothin, but ask me what I want

Ima tell him I wanna...

Diamond in the back

I wanna (sunroof top)

I wanna (diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)

I wanna (diamond in the back)

I wanna (sunroof top)

I wanna (diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)

I wanna (diamond in the back)

Could use a (sunroof top)

Sho' wanna (diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)

I wanna (diamond in the back)

I wanna (sunroof top)

Sho' wanna (diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)

Diamond in the, diamond in the, diamond in the...

Why can't I walk with a limp mama? won't be no drama

For goodness sakes, I'm just a kid

Had to get my whoopin' in fo's, I was just a po'

Like there no remorse for what I did.

Gotta learn the hard way, when runnin' them streets

How some just creep, really just to eat a meal

"I coulda swore it was mine," what I used to tell the po-pos

What I left to rob and steal.

Man, I gotta earn for a livin', aint nobody givin' me nothin'

Find somethin' I love to do

Hmm, what about that pimpin'? It's good tippin'

Tax free, and I know a lot of people that love to screw.

Yeah, it's just a way of the world, with boys and girls

I'm adjustin' to my environment

This government cheatin' us, so I'll cheat 'em back

Why can't work feel like retirement?

Diamond in the back

I wanna (sunroof top)

I wanna (diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)

I wanna (diamond in the back)

Could use a (sunroof top)

Sho' wanna (diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)

I wish I had a (diamond in the back)

I wanna (sunroof top)

I wanna (diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)

I wanna (diamond in the back)

And I wanna (sunroof top)

I wanna (diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)

Gangsta, gangsta, gangsta...
