[Intro]
Gangsta whitewalls
TV antennas in the back

[Chorus]
I want a (Diamond in the back), I want a (Sunroof top)
I wanna (Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean, gangsta—)
I want a (Diamond in the back), I want a (Sunroof top)
I wanna (Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean, gangsta—)
I want a (Diamond in the back), I want a (Sunroof top)
I wanna (Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean, gangsta—)
I want a (Diamond in the back), and I want a (Sunroof top)
I wanna (Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean, gangsta—)

[Verse 1]
(Diamond in the—) It's hard growin' up lookin' at drug dealers with all this paper
Wonderin' how I can get me some (Gangsta—)
(Diamond in the—) My family's strugglin', I'm buggin'
Sittin' on my porch so confused, chewin' on some bubblegum
(Diamond in the—) I was always taught to use my manners with the misses
But please, stay away from the hoes and snitches (Gangsta—)
(Diamond in the—) And I was always reached for the sky, I don't know why
I'ma little bitty kid with a whole bunch of gangsta wishes
(Diamond in the—) When I grow up, you just wait, I'ma be so straight
And everything's gonna be so marvelous (Gangsta—)
(Diamond in the—) No more borrowin' from the neighbors, no more haters
No blowin' Nintendo cartridges
(Diamond in the—) I'ma have it made in the shade, I'ma be so paid
And my fam, get 'em off them pain and pills (Gangsta—)
(Diamond in the—) Matter fact, I'm schemin' my way on up out this hood
I'll be good when I ditch these trainin' wheels
[Chorus]
(Diamond in the back) I want a (Sunroof top)
I wanna (Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean, gangsta—)
I want a (Diamond in the back), I want a (Sunroof top)
I wanna (Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean, gangsta—)
I want a (Diamond in the back), and I want a (Sunroof top)
I wanna (Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean, gangsta—)
I want a (Diamond in the back), I want a (Sunroof top)
I wanna (Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean, gangsta—)

[Verse 2]
(Diamond in the—) I'm sick and tired of ridin' public transportation
Impatient waitin' on my set of wheels (Gangsta—)
(Diamond in the—) I'm willin' to do what it takes, whatever the stakes
In order to get myself some dollar bills
(Diamond in the—) It's too many holes in my socks, and I'm ready to box
Anyone tellin' me I need better shoes (Gangsta—)
(Diamond in the—) And I ain't the only one trippin' or makin a fuss
My older cousin need some cheddar too
(Diamond in the—) He thinkin' 'bout comin' up on a lick to get it quick
It involves that local corner store (Gangsta—)
(Diamond in the—) I overheard him say he knew who works there
And whatever they do, don't let the owner know
(Diamond in the—) I hope he come back with enough to let me borrow some change
At least for the summer (Gangsta—)
(Diamond in the—) And if he don't let me borrow nothin', but ask me what I want
I'ma tell him, "I want a—"

[Chorus]
(Diamond in the back) I want a (Sunroof top)
I wanna (Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean, gangsta—)
I want a (Diamond in the back), I want a (Sunroof top)
I wanna (Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean, gangsta—)
I want a (Diamond in the back), could use a (Sunroof top)
Sure wanna (Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean, gangsta—)
I want a (Diamond in the back), I want a (Sunroof top)
Sure wanna (Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean, gangsta—)

[Verse 3]
(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 (Gangsta—)
(Diamond in the—) Had to get my whoopin' in fours, I was just a poor
Like there's no remorse for what I did
(Diamond in the—) Gotta learn the hard way when runnin' them streets
How some creep, really just to eat a meal (Gangsta—)
(Diamond in the—) "I coulda swore it was mine," what I used to tell the po-po
When I loved to rob and steal
(Diamond in the—) Man, I gotta earn for a livin', ain't nobody givin' me nothin'
Find somethin' I love to do (Gangsta—)
(Diamond in the—) Hmm, what about that pimpin'? It's good tippin'
Tax free, and I know a lotta people that love to screw
(Diamond in the—) Yeah, it's just the way of the world, with boys and girls
I'm adjustin' to my environment (Gangsta—)
(Diamond in the—) This government's cheatin' us, so I'll cheat 'em back
Why can't work feel like retirement?
[Chorus]
(Diamond in the back) I want a (Sunroof top)
I wanna (Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean, gangsta—)
Woo, I want a (Diamond in the back), could use a (Sunroof top)
Sure wanna (Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean, gangsta—)
I wish I had a (Diamond in the back), I want a (Sunroof top)
I wanna (Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean, gangsta—)
I want a (Diamond in the back), and I want a (Sunroof top)
I wanna (Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean), woo (Gangsta—)
