Be Thankful For What You Got 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, wooh-ooh-ooh
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin the scene
With a gangsta lean, wooh-ooh-ooh
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene
With a gangsta lean, wooh-ooh-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
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene
With a gangsta lean, wooh-ooh-ooh
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene
With a gangsta lean, wooh-ooh-ooh

"with a gangsta lean..." -- A gangsta lean is a common driving position in which the driver holds the wheel with his left hand while leaning to his right toward the passenger seat, usually bobbing his head or bumpin' with the beat. It's a pretty badass way to drive. This move works best in a Chevy Caprice IMHO.
The song's meaning is very obvious. Be appreciative of your current situation in life even if you don't drive that expensive Cadillac you see your neighbour cruising in ("You may not have a car at all, but remember brothers and sisters, you can still stand tall").
@mojamma Yes BUT he's also defining that car to a T and talking about how gangsta it is to own one. This is one of those songs that have a cross meaning.

this to me is the definitive gangsta song.... my kid wanted to know exactly hat these lines meant Diamonds in the back, sunroof top, digging the scene With a gangster lean ooh ooh ooh Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac Gangster whitewalls tv antenna in the back
so I explained what a white walled tire was and why there were tv antennas in da back, but I told her its not necessarily so specific.
the words of the song and the sound of the song define a moment in time a moment in time when you imagine yourself kicking back on a sunny day with your girl by your side nowhere to be right away, you are in that laid back super cool gansta state of mind, just cruising the boulevard and checking out the people passing by.
"Diamond in the back" refers to the vintage 1970-1980 Cadillac series. The rear windows had a diamond shape.
(I wanna...) Diamond in the back, sunroof top, diggin the scene with a gangsta lean
