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've 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've got
Diamond in the back, sunroof top, diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean woo
Hoo ooh
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've got
Diamond in the back, sunroof top, diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean
