Coolio - 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 drinkingAnd 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 was funny

But who's the dummy

'Cause, 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

'Cause 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 tryna preach

I believe I can reach

But your mind ain't prepared

I'll C U 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 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 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 'cause 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'

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 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 tryna 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 thrive

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

'Cause 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

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 the straight and narrow

We got one voice to give and one life to live

Stand up for something or lie down in the 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 (When you get there)

If you ever get there (When you get there)

I'll see you when you get there (When you get there)

If you ever get there (When you get there)

I'll see you when you get there (When you get there)

If you ever get there (When you get there)

I'll see you when you get there (When you get there)

If you ever get there (When you get there)
