Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Diamonds in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene, with the gangster lean
Diamonds in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene, with the gangster lean
[Verse 2]
Though you may not drive
A great big Cadillac
Gangster whitewalls
TV antenna in the back
[Verse 3]
You may not have
A car at all
But remember
Brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall
[Verse 4]
Just be thankful
For what you've got
[Verse 5]
Though you may not drive
A great big Cadillac
Diamonds in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene, with the gangster lean
[Verse 6]
Gangster whitewalls
TV antenna in the back
Oh, yeah
You may not have
A car at all
But remember
Brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall
Just be thankful (Just be thankful)
For what you've got
[Verse 7]
Diamonds in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene, with the gangster lean
Diamonds in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene, with the gangster lean
[Verse 8]
Gangster lean baby, gangster lean
Diamonds in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene, with the gangster lean
Diamonds in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene, with the gangster lean
[Verse 9]
Though you may not drive
A great big Cadillac
Gangster whitewalls
TV antenna in the back
[Verse 10]
You may not have
A car at all
But remember
Brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall
Just be thankful
[Verse 11]
Diamonds in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene, with the gangster lean
Diamonds in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene, with the gangster lean
[Verse 12]
Just be thankful
Diamonds in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene, with the gangster lean
Just be thankful
Diamonds in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene, with the gangster lean
[Verse 13]
Brothers and sisters
Diamonds in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene, with the gangster lean
Diamonds in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene, with the gangster lean
