Curtis Mayfield - Diamond in the Back

Lyrics:

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 (x3)
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

I see pool halls,and people dressed to the nines,a summers day,and white men driving through the black Community with their windows rolled up! I see the superfly clothing in rainbows of colors and alligator shoes,and eight tracks in cadillac's in a time of Possibility's.
