Be Thankful For What You Got
Love Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gangsta white walls
TV antennae in the back
You may not drive a car at all
But remember, brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall
Just be thankful for what you got
Gangsta white walls
TV antennae in the back
You may not drive a car at all
But remember, brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall
Everybody singin'
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene
With a gangsta lean
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene
With a gangsta lean
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene
With a gangsta lean
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene
With a gangsta lean
Gangsta white walls
TV antennae in the back
Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac
Gangsta white walls
TV antennae in the back
You may not drive a car at all
But remember, brothers and sisters
You can still stand tall
Everybody sing
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene
With a gangsta lean
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene
With a gangsta lean
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene
With a gangsta lean
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene
With a gangsta lean
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene
With a gangsta lean
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene
With a gangsta lean
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Diggin' the scene
With a gangsta lean
