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)

                    [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)

                    [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)
