Coolio, 40 Thevz - C U When U Get There 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 smoking
Pretending that you're 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A down-ass brother done been
Replaced by a buster
And though I got love for ya
I know I can't trust ya


Cause my crew is rolling hummers and
Your crew is rolling dusters
And just because of that you act like
You don't like the brother no mo'
Uh, I guess that's just the way it go
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

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 way too serious so
You gotta pay close attention
So you don't get caught slippin 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 gotta later start
I'd be a fool to surrender when I
Know I can be a contender
If everybody's a sinner then everybody
Can be a winner no matter your rag color
Deep down we all brothers
And regardless of the time
Somebody up there still love us
I'ma scuffle and struggle until
I'm breathless and weak
I done 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
Waiting with the sounds bumping

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

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 tryna stack
And keep up with the Jones's
Takin 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 till it's
Right when there's something involved
That we desire so hold your head up high
If you're poor and righteous
I know times seem strife
And problems seem endless
But at the times of despair we
Got to 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 got to face responsibility one day
My brother
So wrap 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 voice 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

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
