Lyrics
You may not drive a great big Cadillac
You may not own an extravagant Cadillac
Gangsta white walls tV antennae in the back
Describing features of a luxury car - gangsta white walls, TV antennae
You may not drive a car at all
You may not own a car at all
But remember, brothers and sisters
Encouragement to remember one's status
You can still stand tall
Despite lacking material wealth, you can still have pride and confidence
Just be thankful for what you got
Expressing gratitude for what you have
Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac
Reiteration of not having a Cadillac
Gangsta white walls tV antennae in the back
Reiteration of luxury car features
You may not drive a car at all
Reiteration of not having a car at all
But remember, brothers and sisters
Encouraging a positive outlook for everyone
You can still stand tall everybody singin'
Encouragement for everyone to stand tall
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Repeated expression of enjoying life despite limited means
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
Reiteration of luxury car features
Though you may not drive a great big Cadillac
Reiteration of not owning a Cadillac
Gangsta white walls tV antennae in the back
Reiteration of luxury car features
You may not drive a car at all
Reiteration of not owning a car at all
But remember, brothers and sisters
Encouraging a positive mindset for all
You can still stand tall everybody sing
Encouragement for everyone to sing along
Diamond in the back, sunroof top
Repeated expression of enjoying life despite limited means
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
Final repetition of the theme, embracing the joy of life
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
