Lyrics

Rasta reggae in a the área step
Though you may not drive, a great big Cadillac
Gangsta whitewalls
TV antennas in the back
You may not have a car at all
But remember brothers an' sisters
You can still stand tall
Just be thankful for what you got
Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac
Gangsta whitewalls
TV antennas in the back
You may not have a car at all
But remember brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall
Just be thankful for what you got
Just be Thankful (Yes)
For what you got
You may not have, ah real silk suit
Where ladies dance, in fancy boots
You may not have (Sister)
The latest dress, golden jewelry
Diamonds an' all the rest
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean
(Wooh-ooh-ooh)
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean
(Wooh-ooh-ooh)
Keepin' up wid Mr. Jones, you don't need alone
Keepin' up wid Mr. Jones, you don't need alone
Thankful-thankful-thanful
We should be thankful (Yees)
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean
(,Wooh-ooh-ooh)
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean
(Wooh-ooh-ooh)
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean
(Wooh-ooh-ooh)
