Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Gangsta whitewalls
TV antennas in the back
[Verse 2]
I wanna (Diamond in the back)
I wanna (Sunroof top)
I wanna (Diggin' the scene wit' a gangsta lean)
I wanna (Diamond in the back)
I wanna (Sunroof top)
I wanna (Diggin' the scene wit' a gangsta lean)
[Verse 3]
I wanna (Diamond in the back)
I wanna (Sunroof top)
I wanna (Diggin' the scene wit' a gangsta lean)
I wanna (Diamond in the back)
And I wanna (Sunroof top)
I wanna (Diggin' the scene wit' a gangsta lean)
[Verse 4]
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 snitches
And I always reached for the sky, I don't know why
I'ma lil bitty kid wit' a whole bunch a gangsta wishes
When I grow up, you just wait
I'ma be so straight
And everything's gonna be so marvelous
No mo' borrowin' from the neighbors
No mo' haters
No blowin' Nintendo cartridges
I'ma have it made in the shade
I'ma be so paid
And my fam? Get 'em off them 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
[Verse 5]
(Diamond in the back)
I wanna (Sunroof top)
I wanna (Diggin' the scene wit' a gangsta lean)
I wanna (Diamond in the back)
I wanna (Sunroof top)
I wanna (Diggin' the scene wit' a gangsta lean)
[Verse 6]
I wanna (Diamond in the back)
And I wanna (Sunroof top)
I wanna (Diggin' the scene wit' a gangsta lean)
I wanna (Diamond in the back)
I wanna (Sunroof top)
I wanna (Diggin' the scene wit' a gangsta lean)
[Verse 7]
I'm sick and tired of ridin' public transportation
Impatient, 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 work there
And whatever they do, don't let the owner know
I hope he come back wit' enough to let me borrow some change
At least for the summer
And if he don't let me borrow nothin'
But ask me what I want
I'ma tell him
[Verse 8]
I wanna (Diamond in the back)
I wanna (Sunroof top)
I wanna (Diggin' the scene wit' a gangsta lean)
I wanna (Diamond in the back)
I wanna (Sunroof top)
I wanna (Diggin' the scene wit' a gangsta lean)
[Verse 9]
I wanna (Diamond in the back)
Could use a (Sunroof top)
Sho' wanna (Diggin' the scene wit' a gangsta lean)
I wanna (Diamond in the back)
I wanna (Sunroof top)
Sho' wanna (Diggin' the scene wit' a gangsta lean)
[Verse 10]
Why can't I walk wit' a limp, mama?
Won't be no drama
For goodness sakes, I'm just a kid
Had to get my whoopin's in fo's
I was just a po'
Like theres no remorse for what I did
Gotta learn the hard way when runnin' them streets
How some creep really just to eat a meal
"I coulda swore it was mine"
What I used to tell the po-po
When I loved to rob and steal
Man, I gotta earn for a livin'
Ain't nobody givin' me nothin'
Find somethin' I love to do
Mm, 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 the way of the world
Wit' boys and girls
I'm adjustin' to my environment
This governments cheatin' us
So I'll cheat 'em back
Why can't work feel like retirement?
[Verse 11]
(Diamond in the back)
I wanna (Sunroof top)
I wanna (Diggin' the scene wit' a gangsta lean)
I wanna (Diamond in the back)
Could use a (Sunroof top)
Sho' wanna (Diggin' the scene wit' a gangsta lean)
[Verse 12]
I wish I had a (Diamond in the back)
I wanna (Sunroof top)
I wanna (Diggin' the scene wit' a gangsta lean)
I wanna (Diamond in the back)
And I wanna (Sunroof top)
I wanna (Diggin' the scene wit' a gangsta lean)
