C U When U Get There

Now I＇ve seen places and faces
And things you ain＇t never thought about thinking
If you ain＇t peek then you must be drinking
And smokin＇
Pretending that you＇re lokin＇ but you＇re brokin＇
Let me get you open now
Little Timmy got his diploma
And little Jimmy got life
And Tamikra ＇round the corner
Just took her first hit off the pipe
The other homey shot the other homey
And ran away with his money
And when the other homies heard about it
They thought it was funny
But who＇s the dummy
Now you done lost the hustler
A down-ass brother got replaced by a busta
And though I got love for ya
I know I can＇t trust you
＇Cuz my crew is rollin＇ home and your crew is rollin＇ dusta
And just because of that you act you don＇t like a brother no more
I guess that＇s just the way it goes
I ain＇t tryin＇ to preach
I believe I can reach
But your mind ain＇t prepared
I＇ll see you when you get there
I＇ll see you when you get there
If you ever get there
See you when you get there
I＇ll see you when you get there
If you ever get there
See you when you get there
More temptation and faith
I guess we livin＇ 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
I＇m just tryin to take care of my kids
And handle my business
＇Cuz it＇s way too serious
So you gotta pay close attention
So you don＇t 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
Someone＇s gotta run a little faster
＇Cuz we gotta lay the struggle
I＇d be a fool to surrender
When I know I can be a contender
And if everybody＇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 up there still love us
I＇m gonna scuff and struggle y＇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
I＇ll be there when you get there
When you wit the sound bumpin＇
I＇ll see you when you get there
If you ever get there
See you when you get there
I＇ll see you when you get there
If you ever get there
See you when you get there
You need to loosen up
And live a little
And if ya got kids let them know how you feelin＇
For your own sake give a little
Oh, you don＇t want to hear that
You busy tryin＇ to stack
And keep up with the Jones＇s is taking advantage of your own
The realist homeys that you＇ve been knowin＇ for the longest
But some ain＇t missing a good thing until it＇s gone
Could have built an empire
If not for the jelousy that you righteous
We prefer to keep our eyes shut to describe
When it＇s something wrong and we desire
So hold your head up high
If your poor and righteous
I know time seems right
The problems seem endless
Put the time to this fairly we gotta put ourselves together
And if you feel you＇re out the game
Then you need to get back in it
＇Cuz nothing worse than a quitter
You gotta face responsibility
One day, my brother
So gather up your pity and turn it to ambition
And put your vehicle and drive and stop by my side
I＇ll see you when you get there
If you ever get there
See you when you get there
I＇ll see you when you get there
If you ever get there
See you when you get there
As we walk down the road of our destiny
And the time comes to choose, what shall it be?
The wide and crooked or straight ＇n narrow
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
It＇s up to you to make it big
I guess I＇ll see you
When you see me
I＇ll see you when you get there
If you ever get there
If you wanna get there
I＇ll see you when you get there
If you ever get there
If you wanna get there
