Gangsta whitewalls, TV antennas in the back (the back, the back...)
[Chorus]
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...
[Verse 1]
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 snithes
And I was always reached for the sky, I dont 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 Im schemin´ my way on up out this hood, I´ll be good
When I ditch these trainin´ wheels
[Chorus]
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...
[Verse 2]
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 aint 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, dont 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 dont let me borrow nothin, but ask me what I want
Ima tell him I wanna...
[Chorus]
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...
[Verse 3]
Why cant I walk with a limp mama? wont be no drama
For goodness sakes, Im 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 cant work feel like retirement?
[Chorus]
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...
