* 17-bar intro
* Verse 1 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.
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.
* Cborus I'll see you when you get there.
Will 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 2 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 heart.
Someone's gotta run a little faster
'Cause we gotta lay the struggle.
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 your rag collar, deep down we all brothers,
And regardless of the time somebody out there still love us.
I'm-a scuffle and struggle until 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 sounds bumpin'.
* Repeat chorus
* Repeat chorus
* Verse 3 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 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 divides us.
We prefer to keep our eyes shut to describe when
It's something involved that we desire,
So hold your head up high if you're 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 that's 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.
* Repeat chorus
* Bridge As we walk down the road of our destiny,
(spoken) And the time comes to choose which shall it be,
The wide and crooked on 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.
* Hook I'll see you when you get there.
If you ever get there. (repeat 4x)
