C U When U Get There

Coolio

6

Verse One: 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-ass 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 tryin to preach, I believe I can reach

But your mind ain't prepared, I'll see you when you get there

Chorus:

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

Verse Two: Lek Ratt (40 Thevz)

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

Cause 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 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

Chorus

Verse Three: PS (40 Thevz)

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

Chorus

Outro: Coolio

As we walk down the road of our destiny

And the time comes to choose which it gonna be

The wide and crooked, on a straight barrel

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

Chorus -- fade out
