Verse 1: coolio
Now Ive seen places and faces
And things you aint never thought about thinking
If you aint peek then you must be drinking
And smokin
Pretending not to locin but youre brokin
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 off with his money
And when the other homies heard about it they thought that it wasfunny
But whos the dummy
Cuz, now you done lost the hustler
A down-a** brother got replaced by a buster
And though I got love for ya
I know I cant trust ya
Coz my crew is rollin hummers and your crew is rollin dustas
And just because of that you act like you dont like the brother no more
I guess thats just the way it goes
I aint tryina preach
I believe I can reach
But your mind aint prepared
Ill c u when you get there
Chorus:
Ill see you when you get there
If you ever get there
See you when you get there
Ill see you when you get there
If you ever get there
See you when you get there
Verse 2: lek ratt (of 40 thevz)
More temptation and faith
I guess we livin for the day
I seen a man get swept off his feet by a boy with an ak
The situation so twisted everybody gettin lifted
Im 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 dont get caught sittin when they come and do all the gettin
Life is a big game so you gotta play it with a big horse
Someones gotta run a little faster cuz we gotta lay the struggle
Id be a fool to surrender when I know I can be a contender
And if everybodys a sinner then everybody could ba a winner
No matter you rag collar deep down we all brothers
And regardless of the time somebody up there still love us
Im a scuff and struggle and yall Im 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
Ill be there when you get there when you wit the sound b**pin
Chorus:
Ill 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
Ill 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 (of 40 thevz)
You need to loosen up
And live a little
And if you got kids let them know how you feelin
For your own sake give a little
Oh, you dont want to hear that
You busy tryina stack
And keep them from the joness is taking advantage of your own
The realest homies that youve been knowing for the longest
But some aint missing a good thing until its gone
Could have built an empire if not for the jealousy that divides us
We prefer to keep our eyes shut to describe when
Its something wrong and we desire
So hold your head up high if your poor and righteous
I know time seems right
And the problems seem endless
But at times of despair we gotta pull ourselves together
And if you fell youre out the game 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:
Ill see you when you get there
See you when you get there
If you ever get there
When you ever get there
If you ever get there
See you when you get there
Ill 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 time comes to choose which it gonna be
The wide and crooked, on a straight barrel
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
Its up to you to make it big
I guess Ill see you when you see me
(chorus fade out)
