C U When You Get There - 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 loc' in 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-a** brother got replaced by a buster

And though I got love for ya

I know I can't trust ya

Cause my crew is rollin home

And your crew is rollin dusta

And just because of that you act like

You don't like the brother no more

Uh 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 see you when you get there

I'll see you when you get there

When 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

The situation so twisted everybody getting 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 sitting

When they come and do all the getting

Life is a big game

So you gotta play it with a big horse

Someone's gotta run a little faster

Cause 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 sinner

Then everybody could be a winner

No matter you rag collar deep down

We all brothers

And regardless of the time

Somebody out there still love us

I'm a scuff and struggle

And y' all 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

When 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 tryin a 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 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 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 wanna get there

I'll see you when you get there
