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 Tamikra around the corner just took
her first hit off the pipe
the other homie shot the other homie
and ran away with his money
and when the other homies heard about it
they thought it was funny
but who's the dummy

now you done lost the hustler
a down-ass brother got replaced
by a buster
and though I got love for ya
I know I can't trust ya
coz my crew is rollin' home
and your crew is rollin' dusta
and just because of that you act
you don't like the brother no more
uh, 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 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

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 the gettin'
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 the strugle
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
collar deep down we all brothers
and regardless of the time
somebody else still love us
I'm a scuff and strugle
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 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

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 got you
but you known them longest
but some ain't missing a good thing
until it's gone
could have built an empire if not for
the jealousy that you righteous
we prefare 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
until time seems right
the problems seem endless
put the time to this fairly
we gotta put ourselves together
and if you feel you're obligated
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 pithy
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
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

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 strait narrow,
we got one voice to give
and one life ta live
stand up for sumthin or lay down in your game
listen to the song that we sang
its up to u
to make it be
I guess i'll see u when u c me
(CHORUS FADE OUT)
