Now iand've seen places and faces
and things you ainand't never thought about thinking
if you ainand't peek then you must be drinking
and smokinand'
pretending not to locinand' but youand're brokinand'
let me get you open
now little timmy got his diploma and
little jimmy got life
and tamikra around the corner just took her first hit off the pipe
the other homie shot the other homie and ran away with his money
and when the other homies heard about it they thought it was funny
but whoand's the dummy
now you done lost the hustler
a down-ass brother got replaced by a buster
and though i got love for ya
i know i canand't trust ya
coz my crew is rollinand' home and your crew is rollinand' dusta
and just because of that you act you donand't like the brother no more
uh, i guess thatand's just the way it goes
i ainand't tryina preach
i believe i can reach
but your mind ainand't prepared
i c u when you get there
chorus:
iand'll see you when you get there
if you ever get there
see you when you get there
iand'll see you when you get there
if you ever get there
see you when you get there
verse 2: lek ratt (40 thevz)
more temptation and faith
i guess we livinand' for the day
i seen a man get swept off his feet
by a bullet and an ak
the situation so twisted everybody gettin lifted
iand'm just tryin to take care of my kids and handle my business
coz it way too serious so you gotta pay close attention
so you donand't get caught sittinand' when they come and do all the gettinand'
life is a big game so you gotta play it with a big horse
someoneand's gotta run a little faster coz we gotta lay the strugle
iand'd be a fool to surrender when i know i can be a contender
and if everybodyand's a contender then everybody could be a winner
no matter you rag collar deep down we all brothers
and regardless of the time somebody else still love us
iand'm a scuff and strugle yand'all breathless and weak
i just strived my whole life to make it to the mountain peak
always keep reaching sure to grab on to something
iand'll be there when you get there when you wit the sound bumpinand'
chorus:
iand'll see you when you get there
see you when you get there
if you ever get there
if you ever get there
see you when you get there
iand'll see you when you get there
see you when you get there
if you ever get there
if you ever get there
see you when you get there
verse 3: ps (40 thevz)
you need to loosen up
and live a little
and if they got kids let them know how you feelinand'
for your own sake give a little
oh, you donand't want to hear that
you busy tryina stack
and keep them from the jonesand's is taking advantage of your own
the realist homies got you but you known them longest
but some ainand't missing a good thing until itand's gone
could have built an empire if not for the jelouesy that you righteous
we prefare to keep our eyes shut to describe when
itand's something wrong and we desire
so hold your head up high if your poor and righteous
until time seems right
the problems seem endless
put the time to this fairly we gotta put ourselves together
and if you feel youand're obligated then you need to get back in it
coz nothing worse than a quitter
you gotta face responsibility one day, my brother
so gather up your pitty and turn it to ambition
and put your vehicle and drive and stop by my side
chorus:
iand'll see you when you get there
see you when you get there
if you ever get there
if you ever get there
see you when you get there
iand'll see you when you get there
see you when you get there
if you ever get there
if you ever get there
see you when you get there
(coolio)
as we walk down the road of our destiny
and the times when there was a
the
we got one push to give and one life to live
stand up for something or lie down in your game
listen to the song that we sing
itand's up to you to make it big
i guess iand'll see you when you see me
(chorus fade out)
