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

Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin’ the scene
With a gangsta lean
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

Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin the scene
With a gangsta lean, wooh

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

Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin the scene
With a gangsta lean, wooh

Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin the scene
With a gangsta lean, wooh

Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin the scene
With a gangsta lean, wooh

Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin the scene
With a gangsta lean, wooh
