I See You When You Get There Lyrics - 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 lockin' 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 off 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 you 

Coz my crew is rollin' numbers and your crew is rollin' duchess 

And just because of that you act you don't like a 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 see you when you get there 

1-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 then faith 

I guess we livin' for today 

I seen a man get swept off his feet by a bullet 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 horse 

Someone's gotta run a little faster 

Coz we gotta lay the course I'd be a fool to surrender 

When I know I can be a contender 

if everybody's a sinner then everybody could be 

A winner, no matter you rag color 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' 

(repeat 1, 1) 

Verse 3: PS (40 Thevz) 

You need to loosen up and live a little 

and if they 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 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 jelousy that divides 

we prefare to keep our eyes shut to whats right 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 

in the time of despair 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 pity and turn it to ambition 

and put your vehicle in drive and stop by my side 

(rpt 1, 1) 

As we walk down the road of our destiny 

and the times when there was a the 

we got one push 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 

(rpt 1, 1...)
