[Chorus]
I want to (diamond in the back)
I want to (sunroof top)
I want to (diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)
I want to (diamond in the back)
I want to (sunroof top)
I want to (diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)
I want to (diamond in the back)
I want to (sunroof top)
I want to (diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)
I want to (diamond in the back)
And I want to (sunroof top)
I want to (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 don't know why
I'ma little bitty kid wit' a whole bunch of gangsta wishes
When I grow up, you just wait, I'ma be so straight
And everything's gonna be so marvelous
No more borrowin' from the neighbors, no more haters
No more blowin' Nintendo cartridges
I'ma have it made in the shade, I'ma be so paid
And my fam, get 'em off that payin' them bills
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, 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 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 nothing, but ask me what I want
I'ma tell him I wanna
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
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 could of 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', ain't 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?
[Chorus]
Gangsta, gangsta, gangsta
I want to (diamond in the back)
I want to (sunroof top)
I want to (diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)
I want to (diamond in the back)
I want to (sunroof top)
I want to (diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)
I want to (diamond in the back)
I want to (sunroof top)
I want to (diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)
I want to (diamond in the back)
And I want to (sunroof top)
I want to (diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)
Diamond in the, diamond in the, diamond in the
