Coolio - C U When U Get There (feat. 40 Thevz) (album version) lyrics

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 smokin' Pretending that your loc'n but you're broken 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about it they thought that it was funny But who's the dummy 'Cause now you done lost a hustler A down-a** brother done been replaced by a bustler And though I got love for you I know I can't trust you 'Cause my crew is rollin' hummers and your crew is rollin' dusters And just because of that you act you don't like the brother no more I guess that's just the way it goes I ain't tryin ta 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 than 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 gettin lifted I'm just tryin to take care of my kids and handle my business 'Cause it's 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 heart Some of us gotta run a little faster 'cause we got a later start But I'd be a fool to surrender when I know I can be a contender And if everybody's a sinner then everybody can be a winner No matter your rag colour deep down we all brothers And regardless of the times somebody up there still love us I'm a scuffle and struggle till i'm breathless and weak I done strived my whole life to make it to the mountain peak Always keep reachin' sure to grab on to something I'll be there when you get there waitin' wit the sound pumpin' 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 Ahh ahhh etc You need to loosen up And live a little And if you got kids let them know how you feel And for your own sake give a little Oh, you don't want to hear that Too busy tryin' a stack And keep up with the Jones's taking advantage of your own The realist homies that you been knowin 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 what's right When it's something involved that we desire So hold your head up high if your poor and righteous Yes I know time seems strife And problems seem endless But in times of despair we gotta pull ourselves together And if you feel you're out 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 pity and turn it to ambition And put your vehicle in 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 and narrow We got one push to give and one life to live So stand up for something or lay down in your game Listen to the song that we sing It's up to you to make your peace I guess I'll see you when you see me Chorus to fade out
