C U When You Get There Lyrics - Fantastic Voyage: The Greatest Hits - Coolio

Now I've seen places and faces 

And things you ain't never thought about thinking 

If you ain't peeped then you must be drinking and smoking 

Pretending that you're loc'ing 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A down-ass brother done been replaced by a buster 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 rolling homers 

And your crew is rolling dusters 

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 to preach, I believe I can reach 

But your mind ain't prepared, I'll c u when u get there 

I'll c u when u get there 

If you ever get there 

C u when u get there 

I'll c u when u get there 

If you ever get there 

C u when u get there 

More temptation than faith, I guess we living 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 trying 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 sitting 

When they come and do all the getting 

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 lay the struggle 

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'ma 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 with muted sounds bumping 

I'll c u when u get there 

If you ever get there 

C u when u get there 

I'll c u when u get there 

If you ever get there 

C u when u get there 

You need to loosen up and live a little 

And if you got kids, let them know how you feeling 

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, 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 'til 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 c u when u get there 

If you ever get there 

C u when u get there 

I'll c u when u get there 

If you ever get there 

C u when u 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 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 c u when u see me 

I'll c u when u get there 

If you ever get there 

C u when u get there 

I'll c u when u get there 

If you ever get there 

C u when u get there 

I'll c u when u get there 

If you ever get there 

C u when u get there 

I'll c u when u get there 

If you ever get there 

C u when u get there 

I'll c u when u get there 

If you ever get there 

C u when u get there 

I'll c u when u get there 

If you ever get there 

C u when u get there
