See You When I Get There Lyrics

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 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 was funny.

But who's the dummy

now you done lost the hustler

my down-ass brother gonna be replaced by a bustler

and though I got love for you

I know I can't trust you

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

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

I guess that's just the way it goes

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 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

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 voice

some of us gotta run a little faster coz 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 sinner 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 struggle till i'm breathless and weak

I just strived my whole life to make it to the mountain peak

always keep reachin' 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

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

ahh ahhh etc

Verse 3: PS (40 Thevz)

You need to loosen up

and live a little

and if you got kids let them know how you feel

and 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 jealousy that divides us

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 in it

coz 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 in drive and stop by my side

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

(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 push to give and one life to live

so 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 be

I guess I'll see you when you see me

(chorus fade out)
