Verse 1: Coolio 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 not to locin' but you're brokin' Let me get you open Now little Timmy got his diploma and Little Jimmy got life And Tamika 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 who's the dummy Cuz, now you done lost the hustler A down-ass brother can never by replaced by a buster And though I got love for ya I know I can't trust ya Coz my crew is rollin' Hummers and your crew is rollin' dustas And just because of that you act like you don't like the brother no more I guess that's just the way it goes I ain't tryina preach I believe I can reach But your mind ain't prepared I'll C U when you get there
Chorus:
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
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 I'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 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 heart Someone's gotta run a little faster cuz we gotta later start I'd be a fool to surrender when I know I can be a contender And if everybody's a sinner then everybody could ba a winner No matter you rag collar deep down we all brothers And regardless of the times somebody up there still love us I'm a scuffle and struggle till I'm 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'
Chorus:
I'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 I'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 (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 don't want to hear that You busy tryina stack And keep up with the Jones's taking advantage of your own The realest homies that you've been knowing for the longest But some ain't missing a good thing until it's gone Could have built an empire if not for the jealousy that divides us We prefer to keep our eyes shut to what's right when There's something of all that 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 you're 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:
I'll 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 I'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
