[verse 1]
itand's hard growinand' up lookinand' at drug dealers witand' all this paper
wonderinand' how i can get me some
my familyand's strugglinand', iand'm bugginand', sittinand' on my porch
so confused, chewinand' on some bubblegum
i was always taught to use my manners with the misses
but please, stay away from the hoes and snithes
and i was always reached for the sky, i dont know why
ima little bitty kid witand' a whole buncha gangsta wishes
when i grow up, you just wait, ima be so straight
and everythingand's gonna be so marvelous
no more borrowinand' from the neighbors, no more haters
no more blowinand' nintendo cartridges
ima have it made in the shade, ima be so paid
and my fam, get and'em off that payinand' them bills
matta fact im scheminand' my way on up out this hood, iand'll be good
when i ditch these traininand' wheels

Diamond in the, diamond in the, diamond in the...
[verse 2]
iand'm sick and tired of ridinand' public transportation
been patient waitinand' on my set of wheels
iand'm willinand' to do what it takes, whatever the stakes
in order to get myself some dollar bills
itand's too many holes in my socks, and iand'm ready to box
anyone tellinand' me i need better shoes
and i aint the only one trippinand', or makin a fuss
my older cousin need some cheddar too
he thinkinand' and'bout cominand' up on the lick, to get it quick
it involves that local corner store
i overheard him say he knew who works there
and whatever they do, dont let the owner know
i hope he come back with enough to let me borrow some change
at least for the summer
and if he dont let me borrow nothin, but ask me what i want
ima tell him i wanna...

[verse 3]
why cant i walk with a limp mama? wont be no drama
for goodness sakes, im just a kid
had to get my whoopinand' in foand's, i was just a poand'
like there no remorse for what i did
gotta learn the hard way, when runninand' them streets
how some just creep, really just to eat a meal
andquot;i coulda swore it was mine,andquot; what i used to tell the po-pos
what i left to rob and steal
man, i gotta earn for a livinand', aint nobody givinand' me nothinand'
find somethinand' i love to do
hmm, what about that pimpinand'? itand's good tippinand'
tax free, and i know a lot of people that love to screw
yeah, itand's just a way of the world, with boys and girls
iand'm adjustinand' to my environment
this government cheatinand' us, so iand'll cheat and'em back
why cant work feel like retirement?
