**Lyrics**
[Hook]

We had no

(Diamond in the back)

There was no

(Sunroof top)

But we was

(Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)

(Diamond in the back)

We had no

(Sunroof top)

But we was

(Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)

It ain't no

(Diamond in the back)

It ain't no

(Sunroof top)

But we be

(Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)

(Diamond in the back)

There was no

(sunroof top)

But we was

(Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)

Diamond in the, diamond in the, diamond in the...

[Verse 1: Lupe Fiasco]

I know it' preliminary

But I see me and my visionaries

On our military taking it over...

Even if it's temporary

We can lift and carry the windy right upon our shoulders

Oh Yes the coppers they watch us, they tap us, they trace us, they lock us

But we free so what's that supposed to mean?

Bingo, no higher, them tires, that bentley on 20's is spiffy, it's done by 310 altering

I wanna get one just like it and customize it and ride it

CTA take me where I need to go

I bet its going to kill em to see me wheelin' the villain through c-h-i-c-a-g-o

And Ima pimp her right past the United Center

Western California, Kedzie when I'm traveling

This for my n\*\*\*as, my homies, my partners, my players that's posted up on Madison

[Hook]

We had no

(Diamond in the back)

There was no

(Sunroof top)

But we was

(Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)

(Diamond in the back)

We had no

(Sunroof top)

But we was

(Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)

It ain't no

(Diamond in the back)

It ain't no

(Sunroof top)

But we be

(Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)

(Diamond in the back)

There was no

(Sunroof top)

But we was

(Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)

Diamond in the, diamond in the, diamond in the...

[Verse 2: Lupe Fiasco]

One time, two times

For my n\*\*\*as thats locked up on 26 and California currently up under incarceration

I try to tell em be cool, dont be no fool

Think of your good behavior, don't get in no altercation

That way we can chill and get ill in a brand new set of wheels as soon as you post bond

And thats for Muelers, two for each of us

That's like a watch a wrist so that we can tell time on both arms

Thank God for this gift of gab that I have

We went from Aldi's bags and boxes up to Dominics

Pockets full of brown dollar bills

I got skills but some Jordans could sure build up my confidence

So I can strut, stop, pivot lean, side to side

And gracefully transmit it from hood to hood, block to block, ride to ride!

[Hook]

(Diamond in the back)

It had no

(Sunroof top)

But we be

(Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)

We had no

(Diamond in the back)

There is no

(Sunroof top)

But we be

(Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)

Even without no

(Diamond in the back)

Or no

(Sunroof top)

We be

(Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)

If you ain't got no

(diamond in the back)

Or no

(Sunroof top)

You can be

(Diggin' the scene with a gangsta lean)

Diamond in the, diamond in the, diamond in the...

[Outro]

Gangsta!

West Side!
