C U When U Get There Lyrics - Singles - Coolio

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 lookin' 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 'cos, 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 

'Cos my crew is rollin' hummers and your crew is rollin' dust's 

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 trying 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 

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 getting lifted 

I'm just tryin to take care of my kids and handle my business 

'Cos 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 'cos 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 collar deep down we all brothers 

And regardless of the time somebody up there still love us 

I'm a scuff and struggle and y'all I'm breathless and weak 

I just strive 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 trying stack 

And keep them from the Jones's is 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 describe when 

It's something wrong and we desire 

So hold your head up high if your poor and righteous 

I know time seems right 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 

'Cos 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 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 which shall it be 

The wide and crooked, or the straight barrel 

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 

I'll see you when you get there 

If you ever get there 

I'll see you when you get there 

If you ever get there 

I'll see you when you get there 

If you ever get there
