Diamond In The Back Lyrics

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...
