Ludacris - Diamond in the Back lyrics

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

I wanna (diamond in the back)
I wanna (sunroof top) i wanna
(diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)
I wanna (diamond in the back)
I wanna (sunroof top) i wanna
(diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)
I wanna (diamond in the back)
I wanna (sunroof top) i wanna
(diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)
I wanna (diamond in the back)
And I wanna (sunroof top) i wanna
(diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)
Diamond in the, diamond in the
Diamond in the

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 was always reached for the sky
I don't 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 borrowin' from the neighbors
No more haters
No more blowin' Nintendo cartridges
Ima have it made in the shade, Ima be so paid
And my fam
Get 'em off that payin' them bills
Matta fact Im schemin' my way
On up out this hood, i'll be good
When I ditch these trainin' wheels

I wanna (diamond in the back)
I wanna (sunroof top) i wanna
(diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)
I wanna (diamond in the back)
I wanna (sunroof top) i wanna
(diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)
I wanna (diamond in the back)
I wanna (sunroof top) i wanna
(diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)
I wanna (diamond in the back)
And I wanna (sunroof top) i wanna
(diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)
Diamond in the, diamond in the
Diamond in the

I'm sick and tired of
Ridin' public transportation
Been patient 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 works there
And whatever they do
Don't 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 don't let me borrow nothin
But ask me what I want ima tell him I wanna

I wanna (diamond in the back)
I wanna (sunroof top) i wanna
(diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)
I wanna (diamond in the back)
I wanna (sunroof top) i wanna
(diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)
I wanna (diamond in the back)
I wanna (sunroof top) i wanna
(diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)
I wanna (diamond in the back)
And I wanna (sunroof top) i wanna
(diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)
Diamond in the, diamond in the
Diamond in the

Why can't I walk with a limp
Mama? won't be no drama
For goodness sakes, Im just a kid
Had to get my whoopin' in fo's
I was just a po'
Like there no remorse for what I did
Gotta learn the hard way
When runnin' 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
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
Hmm, 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 a way of the world
With boys and girls
I'm adjustin' to my environment
This government cheatin' us
So I'll cheat 'em back
Why can't work feel like retirement?

I wanna (diamond in the back)
I wanna (sunroof top) i wanna
(diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)
I wanna (diamond in the back)
I wanna (sunroof top) i wanna
(diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)
I wanna (diamond in the back)
I wanna (sunroof top) i wanna
(diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)
I wanna (diamond in the back)
And I wanna (sunroof top) i wanna
(diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)
Diamond in the, diamond in the
Diamond in the

Gangsta, gangsta, gangsta
