Now I've seen places and faces
things you ain't
never thought about thinking
and If you ain't peek then you
must be drinking
And smokin'
Pretending that you're lokin'
but you're brokin'
Let me get you open
now Little Timmy got his diploma
little Jimmy got life
And Tamika 'round the
corner Just took her
first hit off the pipe
The other homey
shot the other homey
And ran away with his money
when other homies heard about
it thought it was funny
But who's the dummy
cuz Now you done lost the hustler
A down ass brother
got and replaced by a busta
And though I got love for ya
I know I can't trust you
'Cuz my crew is rollin' home is
your crew is rollin' dusta
And just because of that you act
like your like a brother no more
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
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 and faith
I guess we livin' for the day
I seen a man
get swept off his feet
By 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
'Cuz 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 horse
Someone's gotta
run a little faster
'Cuz we gotta lay the struggle
I'd be a fool to surrender
When I know I can be a contender
And everybody's a contender
Then everybody could be a winner
No matter you rag collar
Deep down we all brothers
And regardless of the time
Somebody up there still love us
I'mma scuff
and struggle y'all
Breathless and weak
I just strived my whole life
to make it to the mountain peak
Always keep reaching
sure to grab on to some
I'll be there when you get there
When wit the sound bumpin'
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 ya got kids let'em
know how you feelin'
For your own sake give a little
Oh you don't want to hear that
You busy tryin' to stack And
keep up with the Jones's is
taking advantage of your own
The homeys
that you've been knowin'
for the longest
But some ain't missing a good
thang until it's gone
Could have built empire
not for the jelousy
that you righteous
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
The problems seem endless
Put the time to this fairly
we gotta pull ourselves together
And if you feel you're
out the game
Then you need to get back in it
'Cuz not 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
and 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
what shall it be
The wide and crooked
or straight narrow
We got one push to give
And one life to live
Stand up for something
or lay 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 wanna get there
I'll see you when you get there
If you wanna get there
I'll see you when you get there
If you wanna get there
I'll see you when you get there
If you wanna get there
