[Coolio]

Now I've seen places and faces

And things you ain't never thought about thinkin

If you ain't peeped then you must be drinkin and smokin

Pretending that you're loc'in but you're broken, 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 was funny

But who's the dummy, cause, now you done lost the hustler

A down-ass brother done been replaced by a buster

And though I got love for ya, I know I can't trust ya

'Cause my crew is rollin hummers and your crew is rollin dusters

And just because of that you act like you don't like the brother no more

Uh, 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

[Leek Ratt & 40 Thevz]

More temptation than 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

'Cause it way too serious so you gotta pay close attention

So you don't get caught slippin when they come and do all the gettin

Life is a big game so you gotta play it with a big heart

Some of us gotta run a little faster cause we gotta later start

I'd be a fool to surrender when I know I can be a contender

If everybody's a sinner then everybody can be a winner

No matter your rag color, deep down we all brothers

And regardless of the time, somebody up there still love us

I'mma scuffle and struggle until I'm breathless and weak

I done 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 waitin with the sounds 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

[P.S. pookie & 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 Joneses, takin 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 till it's right

When there's something involved that we desire

So hold your head up high if you're poor and righteous

I know times seem strife, and problems seem endless

But at the times of despair we gotta put ourselves together

And if you feel you're out of the game then you need to get back in it

'Cause nothing worse than a quitter

You gotta face responsibility one day, my brother

So wrap up your pity and turn it to ambition

And put your vehicle in '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

[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 straight and narrow

We got one voice 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

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
