Diamond In The Back

(álbum: Chicken N Beer - 2003)

Gangsta whitewalls, TV antennas in the back (the back, the back...)

[Chorus]
I wanna (diamond in the back)
I wanna (sunroof top)
I wanna (digging the scene with a gangsta lean)
I wanna (diamond in the back)
I wanna (sunroof top)
I wanna (digging the scene with a gangsta lean)
I wanna (diamond in the back)
I wanna (sunroof top)
I wanna (digging the scene with a gangsta lean)
I wanna (diamond in the back)
And I wanna (sunroof top)
I wanna (digging the scene with a gangsta lean)

diamond in the, diamond in the, diamond in the...

[Verse 1]
It's hard growing up looking at drug dealers wit' all this paper
Wondering how I can get me some
My family's struggling, I'm bugging, sitting on my porch
So confused, chewing 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 borrowing from the neighbors, no more haters
No more blowing Nintendo cartridges
Ima have it made in the shade, Ima be so paid
And my fam, get 'em off that paying them bills
Matta fact Im scheming my way on up out this hood, I'll be good
When I ditch these training wheels

[Chorus]
Diamond in the back
I wanna (sunroof top)
I wanna (digging in the scene with a gangsta lean)
I wanna (diamond in the back)
I wanna (sunroof top)
I wanna (digging in the scene with a gangsta lean)
I wanna (diamond in the back)
And I wanna (sunroof top)
I wanna (digging in the scene with a gangsta lean)
I wanna (diamond in the back)
I wanna (sunroof top)
I wanna (digging in the scene with a gangsta lean)

Diamond in the, diamond in the, diamond in the...

[Verse 2]
I'm sick and tired of riding public transportation
Been patient waiting on my set of wheels
I'm willing 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 telling me I need better shoes
And I aint the only one tripping, or makin a fuss
My older cousin need some cheddar too
He thinking 'bout coming 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)
I wanna (digging the scene with a gangsta lean)
I wanna (diamond in the back)
I wanna (sunroof top)
I wanna (digging the scene with a gangsta lean)
I wanna (diamond in the back)
Could use a (sunroof top)
Sho' wanna (digging the scene with a gangsta lean)
I wanna (diamond in the back)
I wanna (sunroof top)
Sho' wanna (digging the scene with a gangsta lean)

Diamond in the, diamond in the, diamond in the...

[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 whooping in fo's, I was just a po'
Like there no remorse for what I did
Gotta learn the hard way, when running 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 living, aint nobody giving me nothing
Find something I love to do
Hmm, what about that pimpin'? It's good tipping
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 adjusting to my environment
This government cheating us, so I'll cheat 'em back
Why cant work feel like retirement?

[Chorus]
Diamond in the back
I wanna (sunroof top)
I wanna (digging the scene with a gangsta lean)
I wanna (diamond in the back)
Could use a (sunroof top)
Sho' wanna (digging the scene with a gangsta lean)
I wish I had a (diamond in the back)
I wanna (sunroof top)
I wanna (digging the scene with a gangsta lean)
I wanna (diamond in the back)
And I wanna (sunroof top)
I wanna (digging the scene with a gangsta lean)

Gangsta, gangsta, gangsta...
