Intro
Verse 1
Now I've seen places an d faces
and thi ngs you ain't never thought about thinking
if you ain't peek then you must be dr inking and smokin'
pretending not to locin' but you're b rokin'
let me get you o pen
now lit tle Timmy got his diploma and
little Jimmy got life
and Tamika around the corner just took her firs t hit off the pipe
the other homie shot the other ho mie and ran off with his money
and when the other homies heard about it they tho ught that it was funny
but who's the dummy
Cu z, now you done lost the hustler
a down-ass brother can never by re placed by a buster
and though I got love for ya
I kn ow I can't trust ya
coz my crew is rollin' Hummers and your cre w is rollin' dustas
and just because of that you act like yo u don't like the brother no more
I guess that's just the way it goes
I ain 't tryina preach
I be lieve I can reach
but yo ur mind ain't prepared
I'll see you when you get there
Chorus
I'll see you when you get ther e
if you ever get there
see you when you get ther e
I'll see you when you get ther e
if you ever get there
see you when you get ther e
Verse 2
More temptation and 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 everybo dy gettin lifted
I'm just tryin to take care of my kids and h andle my business
coz it way too serious so you gotta pay close attention
so you don't get caught sittin' when they co me and do all the gettin'
life is a big game so you gotta pl ay it with a big heart
someone's gotta run a little faster cuz we gotta later start
I'd be a fool to surrender when I know I can be a contender
and if everybody's a sinner then everyb ody could ba a winner
no matter you rag collar dee p 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 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 y ou wit the sound bumpin'
Chorus
I'll see you when you get ther e
if you ever get there
see you when you get ther e
I'll see you when you get ther e
if you ever get there
see you when you get ther e
Verse 3
You need to loosen up
and live a little
and if you got kids let them know how you feelin'
f or your own sake give a little
oh, you don't want to hear that
you busy tryina stack
and keep up with the Jones's 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 divide s us
we prefer to keep our eyes shut to whats right when
theres something of all that 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 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
coz nothing worse than a quitter
you gotta face responsibility one day, my broth er
so gather up your pitty and turn it to amb ition
and put your vehicle and drive and stop by my side
Chorus
I'll see you when you get ther e
if you ever get there
see you when you get ther e
I'll see you when you get ther e
if you ever get there
see you when you get ther e

As we walk down the r oad of our destiny
and the time comes t o choose what shall it be
the wide and crooked, or t he 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 so ng that we sing
it's up to you to make it big
I guess I'll see you when you see me
Chorus
(x2 and Fade Out)
I'll see you when you get ther e
if you ever get there
see you when you get ther e
I'll see you when you get ther e
if you ever get there
see you when you get ther e
Thanks! Have Fun!!
