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

Diggin' the scene
With a gangsta lean
Gangsta whitewalls
