C U When I 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 your locin' but you're 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 thepipe

the other homie shot the other homie and ran off with his money

and when the other homies heard about it they thought it wasfunny

but who's the dummy

now you done lost the hustler

a down-ass brother gonna be replaced by a bustler

and though I got love for ya

I know I can't trust ya

coz my crew is rollin' homies and your crew is rollin' dusters

and just because of that you act you don't like the brother nomore

uh, I guess that's just the way u go

I ain't tryin ta preach

I believe I can reach

but your mind ain't prepared

I 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 (40 Thevz)

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

coz it way too serious so you gotta pay close attention

so you don't get caught sittin' when they come and do all thegettin'

life is a big game so you gotta play it with a big horse

someone's gotta run a little faster coz we gotta lay thestrugle

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 colour deep down we all brothers

and regardless of the time somebody up there still love us

I'm a scuff and strugle wit 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 pumpin'

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 (40 Thevz)

You need to loosen up

and live a little

and if they 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 them from the Jones's is taking advantage of your own

the realist homies that you 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 jelouesy that devises

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

aint no time seems right

the problems seem endless

but in times of despair we gotta pull ourselves together

and if you feel you're out the game then you need to get back init

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 in 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

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

(Coolio)

As we walk down the road of our destiny

and the time comes to choose which shall it be

the wide and crooked or the shirt and narrow

we got one push to give and one life to live

stand up for something or lay 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

(chorus fade out)
